Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin complex, also called OPC, is an incredible
antioxidant, one that battles aging, Free radicals and much more. Found
in high concentrations in the grapes used for wine making, OPC is the
main contributor to the health benefits moderate wine consumption has
proven to offer. Yet while drinking wine is a pleasurable past time for
many, increased alcoholic consumption has also been shown to be
problematic, leading to possible addiction, weight gain, accidents and
more. Luckily, there is a way to gain the benefits of OPC without
ingesting copious amounts of wine - grape seed extract. Found most
commonly in tablets, capsules and liquid form, grape seed extract is
readily available at most health food stores and is easily digestible.
This guide breaks down where to find it, how to take it, what benefits
there are to be gained and discusses any concerns that might arise.
While not quite the fountain of youth, Grape Seed Extract may be
nature's most perfect antioxidant.
