OPC
I will be adding more products as time allows.
OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) is the best antioxidant in the world. Eating good antioxidants prevents cataracts, stroke and much more. The same stuff that makes cataracts also causes stroke. It’s best if you begin to take OPC early in life while it’s never too late to start. I’m 68 years old and during my last eye test about a year and a half ago the doctor told me my eyes are better than most people.
OPCs are natural, active substances found in plants that can have a positive impact on health outcomes. OPCs belong to the flavonol family and are part of a subgroup called polyphenols. They are found in various foods and plants such as grape seeds, pine bark, blueberries, nuts, the skin of red grapes and peanuts, red wine, apples, pomegranate, and green tea. They can promote beneficial effects on the body when consumed as part of a balanced diet and overall healthy lifestyle.
OPCs have recently been of interest to functional medicine practitioners and registered dietitians. Due to the powerful nature of this antioxidant, consuming a diet rich in OPCs has been suggested to reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, liver disease, and other chronic conditions.
Isotonic supplements are the best. These supplements are the same pressure as your body which means they provide maximum absorption. You take these in the morning after you wake up and before you put anything else in your body. You can take more than one serving if you wish. I typically would take 3 servings. I have taken as many as 5. However, I advise that you check with your doctor before taking these. This product comes with a scoop. One scoop is equal to one serving. You put this in a glass and add 2 ounces room temperature water and then drink. It makes a small fizzy drink. Scroll to the bottom for more information.

Non Isotonic OPC

Isotonic vitamins are rapidly absorbed, and fast absorption is beneficial for energy production and quick rehydration during intense activities.
The term “isotonic” means these vitamins have the same solute concentration as the fluids already found in the human body, like saliva, tears and blood, which gives you maximum absorption. The vitamins are sold in a crystallized powder form, which are then mixed in room temperature water and ingested by drinking the mixture first thing in the morning before you put anything else in your stomach. Isotonic supplements typically create a fizzie drink which also makes it more enjoyable. I use these myself and have found a marked difference in comparison to other types of supplement in tablet forms.
According to the manufacturers and supporters of isotonic vitamins, because the vitamins are delivered through a solute vehicle, the body’s small intestine will absorb about 95% of the nutrients, whereas ingesting a capsule or tablet vitamin requires the body to first break down the product to the point that only about 20% of the nutrients are actually absorbed.
There are different companies that supply these types of supplements, once I am able to obtain suitable links I will add them. These supplements are marketed in different ways, some companies sell them directly, while other companies sell them through multi-level marketing.
OPCXtra contains pine bark extract in which is found many amazing health benefits. We all know the power of antioxidants to improve health and the high-antioxidant foods we should eat regularly. But did you know that pine bark extract, like pine oil, is one of nature’s super antioxidants? It has been known to prevent cataracts. The same substance that causes cataracts also builds up in the veins and causes stroke. OPC helps prevent that. I am currently 65 years of age and have no cataracts.

Pine bark extract comes from the inner bark of the Pinus pinaster tree, most commonly found in Europe. A popular variety is the pinus maritime or the maritime pine that grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France.
This bark extract has been around for about 450 years. In 1534, a French ship led by the famous explorer Jacques Cartier became stranded in ice near Quebec, Canada. The crew fell extremely ill from scurvy, an extreme lack of vitamin C. Cartier’s crew crossed paths with a Quebec Indian who encouraged them to drink a tea made from pine bark and needles.
