Living longer may not be easy to measure, but wrinkles, achy joints
and slow circulation surely are.
OPC Factor: The most powerful antioxidants on Earth.
The smartest way to absorb them.
It sure does seem like “Stay Young”, “New Cure for Aging” and
other anti-aging related headlines have taken over magazine covers
since South Beach and the Atkins Diet faded from prominence. But
what are they really trying to tell you? Well, nutritional science,
scientific researchers and physicians agree that oxidation is the
primary cause of aging. I guess that means we have to figure out what oxidation
is, eh? According to the dictionary, oxidation is the deterioration
of matter from chemical reactions with oxygen. So are these magazines telling
us to stop breathing oxygen?
Most of them are telling you what
to eat and
what supplements to take to combat this “oxidation” problem.
But how exactly does eating an apple combat breathing in oxygen? Isn’t
the apple the one fruit that turns brown almost instantly when
oxygen touches it? That’s
right, apples are ‘aged’ by oxygen. Apparently eating more fruits
and vegetables isn’t necessarily the answer. But perhaps more of the
good antioxidants in the right fruits and vegetables is the answer.
Antioxidants
combat free radicals (oh, no not another scientific term) that
are often created during oxidation. They also combat the free radicals that
we ingest by eating and breathing everyday. These free radicals are basically
unstable molecules that really want to be stable. In their search for stability,
free radicals literally bounce around running into perfectly healthy
cells creating cells that are pitted and sometimes broken. Antioxidants
are the things these molecules are looking for. When a free radical comes
in contact with an antioxidant – both of them walk away satisfied
and stable. The key is to get these antioxidants into our blood
where they can do some good.
I was listening to Dr. Dean Adell the other
day on the radio when a caller asked if she should buy the newest
antioxidant juice that everyone is talking about. He suggested she stick
with orange juice, unless of course she loved the taste or just wanted to
spend more money on juice. The reason is absorbability. Just because it
is a liquid supplement doesn't mean it's automatically better. Though the
berries might have higher 'antioxidant profiles' than common juices, the
sugars in apple and grape juice mixed in along with the digestive acids
in the stomach make most of the ingredients ineffective at the time of absorption
into the blood. There is a solution to this absorption problem. OPC Factor,
when combined with 5 ounces of water, becomes an isotonic and effervescent
solution. Isotonic means the solution becomes the same pH as blood and tears.
Taken without food in the stomach, OPC Factor bypasses the digestive process
that juices help create and goes straight to the lower intestine for absorption.
Up to 97% absorption within minutes of drinking a 5 ounce serving.
OPC Factor
also has more OPC's than any
other nutritional or OPC supplement on the market. OPC (oligomeric pronanthocyanidins) is the scientific term
for the antioxidants found in grapes and pine bark like: red wine grape
skin extract, grape seed, resveratrol, French maritime pine
bark and other elements that nature devised to keep our bodies at peak performance.
OPC's are the most powerful antioxidants on the planet, up to 50 times more
powerful than vitamins C and E. Not only will you get a full spectrum of
antioxidants you need, but OPC Factor has 23 powerful vitamins, minerals,
extracts and enzymes as well. Unlike the new tropical juices that are mostly
apple and grape juice blends, OPC Factor is produced in a FDA grade certified
facility. Each ingredient is tested and certified for purity and potency.
OPC Factor is more then just OPC's. OPC Factor is a synergistic blend of
OPC's, Vitamins A, E, Ester C, B12 and full spectrum plant digestive enzymes,
minerals, herbal and vegetable extracts. This synergistic blend produces
far more powerful results then that of just OPC's or other antioxidants,
alone. |
