VITALS SynOPC A powerful combination of antioxidants
Antioxidants
Our bodies are constantly bombarded with free radicals as a result of everyday life, pollution, stress, smoking, chemicals, and aging. Severe damage can result if antioxidant levels in the body are inadequate. Current scientific research has implicated free radical oxidative damage as a major factor in the development of many age-related health conditions.* So how can you fight free radical damage?
The answer is antioxidants, which are compounds that protect your cells against the harmful effects of free radicals. When free radicals are free to roam the body, they cause oxidative damage, destroying proteins, cells and DNA. Antioxidants have the power to neutralize free radicals before they can cause oxidative damage to your cells.
To fight free radical damage, it's important to replenish our body's antioxidant supply on a regular basis. Oligoproanthocyanidins (OPCs) are one of the most potent types of natural antioxidants. In fact, they are 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E.
Why SynOPC?
OPCs are found in most fruits and vegetables. However, the amount of OPCs in our daily diets is generally not high enough to approach therapeutic value, and the amount present in raw food is usually destroyed during cooking. Taking a potent antioxidant supplement with a broad range of plant extracts gives your body the boost it needs to fight free radicals.*
SynOPC and SynOPC-X are all-natural, plant-based formulas packed full of antioxidant power. They contain only the most potent OPCs available, including extracts from the superfruits noni, pomegranate, and mangosteen. They also contain bilberry extract, grape seed extract, green tea extract (caffeine free), citrus bioflavonoid, red wine extract, and pine bark extract. Whereas some supplements contain just a few types of antioxidants, SynOPC and SynOPC-X are composed of nine different extracts and a total of 400 mg and 535 mg, respectively, of potent antioxidant power. Combined with our unique granular delivery system, SynOPC and SynOPC-X provide superior free radical protection in a highly absorbable granular delivery system.*
