Amazing OPC-3 Benefits




OPC-3, which is the common name for Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins, is a very effective antioxidant that contains many organic acids and bioflavonoids. How does this great product work? It neutralizes free radicals, which can cause a host of problems in the human body, including organ damage, and damage to blood vessels. OPC-3 helps with the flow of blood through these damaged vessels, which helps circulation throughout the body.

OPC-3 comes from 3 main sources: Pine bark from the Maritime region of France, grape seed extract, and red wine extract. One of the secrets to why OPC-3 is so effective is that there are three different places where OPC-3 comes from.    This gives a diversity of sources that helps in the production of the product which acts as antioxidants to protect the body cells and tissues from damages caused by free radicals. It is said to be 50 times more powerful than vitamin C or vitamin E in extinguishing free radicals.  For many people, they have had great results from taking this product because it contains the best quality in ingredients in the making.

Researchers from all over the world tend to support the idea that OPC-3 has many health benefits when taken in conjunction with a properly balance diet. In other words, researchers recommend that people take OPC-3 together with foods that are rich in antioxidants, rather than taking the supplement on its own. For example, one would stand to benefit the most if the supplements were taken together with certain foods which contain vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene, as these foods tend to "super-charge" the OPC-3 supplements.
Free radicals can be formed due to environmental pollution, radiation, from the smoke generated from cigarettes and also from microwaved, processed or fried foods.

A body’s fluids remain at an osmotic pressure which is common for all and is isotonic.  A nutrient taken in should be transformed into the isotonic state in order for absorption.  Isotonic OPC-3 supplements if from the beginning in this form similar to the osmotic pressure of the body.  It resembles the body fluids like plasma, tears, breast milk etc.

The absorption of substances takes a lot of time.  Every substance first goes through a process of breaking down into simpler compounds before they can be absorbed.  Isotonic fluids gets absorbed very rapidly as it does not have to go through the digestive process.  Moreover almost no nutritive value is lost.   Therefore, most Isotonix OPC-3s start working after they are first taken.
Besides the tremendous benefits that OPC-3 provides for the brain, it also helps your complexion, and with flexibility in your joints, as well. It is also believed to be quite helpful in decreasing the stress level in your life, and might even help you reverse aging process!

OPC-3 is free from any harmful chemicals, alcohols or preservatives. These are tested in laboratories again and again for over 30 years which revealed that they in no way can cause any harm to human bodies. So it is a natural, great tasting supplement that should be taken daily!

Exciting news on OPC-3!
A new study, e-published in Phytotherapy Research, evaluates how quickly Isotonix OPC-3® is absorbed vs. the same formulation in tablet form.
Isotonix OPC-3 reduced plasma oxygen free radicals (working as an effective antioxidant) within 10 minutes. The OPC-3® tablet took about 1 hour to produce a similar effect. Furthermore, the investigators noted that Isotonix OPC-3 had a stronger antioxidant effect throughout the entire 4 hour period vs. OPC-3 in tablet form.
The authors concluded: “the findings demonstrate that the flavonoid mixture provided in isotonic OPC-3 is significantly more bioavailable in humans, in terms of antioxidant activity than an equivalent mixture in tablet form. “ Furthermore, the isotonic OPC-3 formulation resulted in a stronger antioxidative effect than an equivalent mixture in tablet form.
