Opc-3™ And Antioxidants

OPC-3™, also known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC’s) is
made from a combination of grape seed, pine bark, red wine
extracts, and also bilberry and citrus extracts
OPC-3™ is thought to be a free radical neutralizer or
antioxidant It is also thought to support the circulatory
system and strengthen capillaries
Antioxidants are a chemical compound or substance that are
thought to prevent cellular damage Organic substances such as
vitamin E, vitamin C, or beta carotene, for example, are thought
to protect cells from damage caused by unstable molecules known
as free radicals
Free radicals can form when oxygen interacts with certain
molecules Free radicals can be beneficial in neutralizing
bacteria and viruses But in excess, they produce harmful
oxidation that can damage cells
Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free
radicals to stop any damage to vital molecules
Antioxidants, such as OPC-3™, are believed to be effective in
helping to prevent cancer, heart disease, and stroke They are
also thought to play a role in slowing the aging process
Fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants and their are
health supplements on the market such as OPC-3™ that are
marketed as antioxidants
There are conflicting reports on the benefits of antioxidants
and how much to take So in short, supplements should not be
taken to replace, a healthy, well balanced diet It should be
taken to supplement it
