Key Ingredients Found In Isotonix OPC-3®:
Grape Seed Extract : 25 mg
Grape
seed extract is typically extracted from the seeds of red grapes
(instead of white), which have a high content of compounds known as
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Grape seed extract is extremely
rich in polyphenols, compounds with high antioxidant activity. Grape
seed extract has been found to maintain healthy cholesterol levels.*
Red Wine Extract: 25 mg
Red
wine extract is a powerful antioxidant. This extract is found in grape
vines, roots, seeds and stalks, with the highest concentration in the
skins. The antioxidant properties of red wine extract contribute to
maintaining healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries
and veins, and promoting overall cardiovascular health.*
In
the late 1990s, scientists took note of a phenomenon among the
French. There were very low rates of cardiovascular problems in the
provinces where residents consistently ate high fat foods and drank red
wine. Scientists concluded that the protective properties of red wine
have helped the French maintain cardiovascular health for years and
subsequent scientific studies have further shown that the OPCs found in
red wine are particularly beneficial for protecting the heart and blood
vessels.*
Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol®): 25 mg
Pycnogenol
is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree,
which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les
Landes de Gascogne. This unspoiled and natural forest environment is the
unique source of pine bark. Pycnogenol is one of the most researched
ingredients in the natural product marketplace. Published findings have
demonstrated Pycnogenol’s wide array of beneficial effects on the body.
Pine bark extract is an all natural combination of procyanidins,
bioflavonoids and organic acids.
The
extract has three basic properties — it is a powerful antioxidant,
selectively binds to collagen and elastin, and promotes the normal
production of endothelial nitric oxide, which promotes the normal
dilation of dilate blood vessels.*
As
one of the most potent natural scavenger of free radicals, Pycnogenol
combats many aggressive free radicals before they cause oxidative stress
to vital organs. Its super-antioxidant capabilities help support
healthy blood platelet activity, support healthy blood glucose levels,
reduce mild menstrual cramping and abdominal pain, maintain joint
flexibility, promote cardiovascular health, promote healthy sperm
quality, maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support a healthy
complexion.*
Bilberry Extract : 25 mg
Bilberry
extract is derived from the leaves and berry-like fruit of a common
European shrub closely related to the blueberry. Extracts of the ripe
berry are known to contain flavonoid pigments known as anthocyanins,
which are powerful antioxidants. Scientific studies confirm that
bilberry extract supports healthy vision and venous circulation.
Bilberry extract helps maintain healthy circulation by strengthening
capillaries, arteries and veins.*
Citrus Extract (Bioflavonoids): 25 mg
Bioflavonoids
are antioxidants found in certain plants that act as light filters,
which protect delicate DNA chains and other important macromolecules by
absorbing ultraviolet radiation. They have been found to promote
cardiovascular health, help maintain healthy circulation by
strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins, and demonstrate
anti-inflammatory activity.*
