Superior Antioxidant

- OPC's are superior to other antioxidants because its protective effects are multiplied in the body.

While it provides its own, powerful antioxidant protection, it also supports the dynamic interplay between other antioxidants in the body. OPC's ability to "recycle," or regenerate vitamins C and E after they have quenched free radicals vastly extends their unique antioxidant powers, helping to maintain an optimal, synergistic antioxidant balance in the body.

OPC's are rapidly absorbed and very quickly distributed throughout the body. As a free radical fighter, OPC comes to the aid of the body more quickly than other antioxidants, reducing the potential for free radical damage and the ravages of aging. OPC also possesses more reactive sites for neutralizing free radicals than other known antioxidants. Furthermore, OPC permits reactivity with both positively and negatively charged free radical species.

What this means is that OPC's can "quench" or "scavenge" (neutralize) a broad variety of free radicals. Highly reactive as an antioxidant in both lipid (fat) and aqueous (water) phases, OPC neutralizes oxygen free radicals and is a valuable protector of healthy cells in a variety of internal conditions. This is a unique property among antioxidants, as most work either in lipid or aqueous phases, but not both. As a free radical scavenger, OPC is like an antioxidant prize fighter that can successfully take on all challengers, big or small, in any kind of weather.
