GRAPESEED OPC™
OPC 85™ ANTIOXIDANT FROM GRAPESEED
DESCRIPTION : OPC-85™ represents the highest standardized of proanthocyanidin (OPC) from a grapeseed and pine bark source. OPC-85™ is the authentic and only grapeseed extract endorsed by the discoverer and protected by U.S. patent for manufacturers wanting to make an antioxidant claim.
PHYSIOLOGY : The only sought-after active ingredient found in both pine and grape seed raw material extracts is "proanthocyanidins (OPC)." Discovered by Dr. Jack Masquelier, OPC has been found through 50 years of scientific research and clinical testing to be completely non-toxic, 100% bioavailable, and the most powerful antioxidant known - 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times more potent than vitamin C in free radical scavenging. Likewise, OPC is a master cardiovascular protector and a formidable collagen cross-linking regulator because of its unique affinity with both elastin and collagen proteins. OPC's is primarily found in plant parts that are usually removed before eating. Also, OPC's is often destroyed during cooking. Therefore, OPC supplementation is usually necessary to obtain all of the OPCs our bodies need for optimum health.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE : 100 to 200 mg daily maintenance dose for a 150- pound adult. In case of illness, chornic conditions, or a flare-up of alleriges, 200 mg to 300 mg is suggested. Children should receive approximately 50 percent of the above doses.
TOXICITY, CAUTIONS & CONTRA-INDICATIONS : Proanthocyanidins are almost completely non-toxic both in acute dosage (LD50>4,000 mg/kg in rats and mice) and high long-term dosage (no toxic effects at 60 mg/kg/day for 12 months in dogs and six months in rats). They have no potential for causing mutations or birth defects, and have no adverse effect on fertility, pregnancy, or nursing.
