OPC is short for Oligomeric ProCyandins and the 150 means that each capsule contains 150 mgs of Grape Seed Extract which is a very powerful antioxidant. Other powerful antioxidants are Vitamins A, E, and C. The purpose of an antioxidant is to inhibit the proliferation of free radicals which are extremely active molecules that lack an electron in their outer shells. These molecules go around robbing from healthy cells which results in tissue damage, excess rancidity and premature aging. Free radicals are known to cause over 60 major diseases as a result of the damage they do to the cell lining. Unlike Vitamins A, E, and C, which carry out their antioxidant duties in a passive manner, Grape Seed Extract is aggressive in the scavenging of free radicals as it actively seeks out and neutralizes free radicals before they can cause harm. In addition Grape Seed Extract has the ability to repeat its activities several times, like a repeating rifle, while other anti-oxidants are single shots. Our OPC 150 is 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C, milligram for milligram. It is highly effective against free radical damage due to pollution, chemicals, toxins, additives, dyes and microwaves. OPC 150 builds the integrity of blood vessel walls and therefore is useful in cases of retinopathy, varicose veins, slow-healing injuries, as well as pre and post surgeries. It also reduces the damage to red blood cells and healthy tissue during chemo and radiation treatments.
