One of the biggest obstacles to good health is the occurrence of “free radicals” in your body.
Free radical damage is unavoidable— environmental pollution, high-fat diets, stress and even sunlight contribute to free radical production. Furthermore, your body generates free radicals during normal physiological processes.
Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms with an odd (unpaired) number of electrons and can be formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once formed these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction, like dominoes.
Their chief danger comes from the damage they can do when they react with important cellular components such as DNA, or the cell membrane. Cells may function poorly or die if this occurs.
What is an Antioxidant?
Have you ever cut an apple and left it exposed to air for a short period of time? You probably noticed right away that the apple starts turning brown. This is a classic demonstration of oxidation or “oxidative stress.” The rusting of metals, the spoilage of foods and the crumbling of rubber are other common examples of this natural process.
You might also call it aging.
These visible signs of oxidation are the result of the destruction of molecules. It happens throughout nature and it happens inside your body, wreaking havoc on your cells, your organs and your health.
Mainstream medical Science now regards oxidation as a primary cause of degeneration and aging. Your best defense to neutralize and eliminate the harmful effects of free radicals is to maintain a steady supply of antioxidant nutrition to cells through healthy eating and dietary supplements.
While antioxidants are available in a healthy diet, it is difficult to get enough of them to fend off the damage caused by free radicals.
Fortunately, there are nutritional agents that can help to prevent against oxidative damage in your body and help to repair cellular damage already done—
Super Antioxidants or OPC's
(Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins)
“Bioflavonoids” are complex organic plant compounds found mostly in fruits, vegetables and bark that provide nutritional benefit to the human body.
There are more than 20,000 different types of flavonoids, of which OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) are considered to be the most powerful. Bioflavonoids have been reported to seek out and subdue free radicals and form a protective shield with the other important antioxidants.
The very best sources of bioflavonoids are grape seed, pine bark and red wine extracts; plus bilberry and citrus rind extracts are the most powerful antioxidants known to man!
What are OPC’s?
OPC's are extracts from pine bark, grape seed, grape tine and lemon bioflavenoids that have found to be 20 to 50 times more powerful than vitamin A C & E and will prevent free radical scavenging for up to 24 hours.
If you want your best chance at living a long pain free life, then you can give yourself that opportunity by reducing the degenerative effects of free radicals.
Ultimate OPC+ is the most highly absorbable nutrition available to help your body fight the effects of free radicals and “oxidative stress.”
Just combine OPC+ with five ounces of cold water and the powerful synergistic super-antioxidant formula is delivered in a grape flavored, effervescent, isotonic drink, providing the ULTIMATE in bioavailablility.
"Do you have a worn down feeling? Try Ultimate OPC+! Your energy and mental clarity will start to rise almost immediately! I recommend OPC+ to all my patients. Medicine should come from the farm, not the pharmacy!"
~ Howard Hagglund, M.D.
Why should you be taking OPC's?
If you want your best chance at living a healthy and active life, then OPC’s will give you that opportunity by reducing the degenerative effects of free radicals.
One single serving of Ultimate OPC+ provides the equivalent of taking 20-30 pills or tablets!
