There is no question about it: our environment today is toxic. And as we’ve learned from the tragic disasters in Japan, “acceptable” toxicity is allowed release in ways that can dramatically impact health.  What must we do to protect our bodies from environmental toxicity?  Act, learn and take responsibility for our health on a daily basis. How do we do this? Eat naturally occurring foods like fruits and vegetables, of course; drink uncontaminated water; AND supplement our diets with antioxidants.

One family of antioxidants that is among the most powerful and promising free-radical fighters is OPCs or Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins. They are more powerful than Vitamin C and E and are considered gold-standard anti-oxidants. By ingesting OPC-3 with Pycnogenol — a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree that grows exclusively along the southwest coast of France in Les Landes de Gascogne — three health affirming functions occur.

1 – It is a powerful anti-oxidant.

2 – It selectively binds to collagen and elastin.

3 – It promotes the production of endothelial nitric oxide which supports vasodilation of blood vessels.

Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients in the natural product marketplace with over 200 scientific articles and clinical trials over the last 35 years to confirm its safety, absence of toxicity and clinical efficacy.

When taken as an Isotonic (a solution that has the same fluid pressure as bodily fluids like the solutions of food entering the small intestine from the stomach for absorption) the benefits of the anti-oxidants and other health-strengthening processes are quickly delivered to the body.

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.*
