OPC ULTRA-Antioxidant from Pine Bark, 75 mg, 180 VegeCaps

What is OPC (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins Complex)

A premium plant-based antioxidant complex derived directly from maritime pine bark. The dietary supplement OPC EnergyBalance® contains a highly concentrated extract of maritime pine bark, rigorously standardized to 90% proanthocyanidins. OPC stands for Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins Complex.

This botanical complex consists of natural polyphenolic compounds obtained from the bark of the Pinus pinaster tree, belonging to the flavonoid family. Flavonoids are widely recognized in nutritional science for their beneficial properties and role in promoting overall cellular wellness.

Proanthocyanidins: Nutritional Characteristics and Benefits

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins are at the core of this botanical complex rich in polyphenols. In recent years, they have generated growing interest in modern nutritional research and formulation science due to their powerful radical-scavenging capabilities.

In nature, these compounds act as a protective barrier for plants against environmental stressors and oxidative damage. When integrated into human nutrition, plant polyphenols supplement our daily intake of essential dietary antioxidants, supporting cellular protection against daily oxidative stress.
