OPC – grape seeds of the best quality

OPC - grape seed: We offer you an interesting selection of valuable food supplements - and in very high quality. OPC shouldn't be missing in this round, i.e. oligomeric proanthocyanidins, which are naturally contained as polyphynols in various plants such as grape seeds. You will find two products with us, viz OPC Grape Seed BIO Premium Powder and OPC Grape Seed BIO Premium Capsulesthat also meet the highest demands. Only Swiss grapes are used for production, which are ground in the Steiner mill in the Emmental in order to be able to reliably unfold their effect - here you will find important information about our products.

Unfortunately, according to the law, we are not allowed to make any statements about the effects of OPC.

OPC - an overview

The abbreviation stands for oligomeric proanthocyanidins - secondary plant substances that belong to the flavanols and thus to the superordinate polyphenols. They are found not only in the grape seed, but above all in the leaves and skin of red grapes, in coconuts, gingko leaves, apples, the bark of maritime pine and the red peanut skins. Jack Masquelier dealt with the latter in 1948 when he investigated the possibility of using the membranes as fodder. He did a whole series of animal experiments. He discovered the positive effects, especially on vein diseases. He identified and named the relevant compounds – OPC. There is a high concentration of OPC in the seeds in particular - and thus of antioxidants, which is what makes the grape seed so interesting.

There are currently no reliable studies that scientifically prove the effect of OPC - so we cannot make any specific statements about health effects. However, the high proportion of antioxidants suggests that OPC can neutralize free radicals. The balance of anti- and pro-oxidative processes in the body is immensely important to avoid damage to cells. Overloading can lead to oxidative stress, as can alcohol, nicotine or environmental toxins. A healthy diet that contains the most important antioxidants, namely vitamins C and E, carotenoids, flavonoids and other secondary plant substances, is all the more important. Fruit and vegetables, legumes, high-quality vegetable oil, nuts and whole grain products are particularly suitable. In addition, the minerals zinc, copper, selenium and manganese contained in fish, eggs and meat play an important role in enzymatic defence.

OPC from Magnesium-Quelle.ch

Both the Premium OPC Grape Seed BIO Premium Capsules and the OPC Grape Seed BIO Premium Powder contain only grape seed flour. The biodynamically grown grapes in Switzerland are not only demeter certified, they also meet the criteria for the BIO seal. So you can be sure that neither pesticides nor chemical plant protection products were used in the grape cultivation - this is how we understand the premium quality of a Swiss product that is laboratory-tested and vegan and also completely free of GMOs and gluten.

The grape seeds, gently ground in the Steiner Mühle in Emmental, naturally have a high OPC content, namely 100 mg of all oligomeric proanthocyanidins per gram of flour from the grape seeds. This makes our products significantly different from many others: we grind the grape seeds and do not obtain the OPC in the course of an extraction, so neither water, chloroform nor ethanol are used in the production. The result: pure grape seed flour with lots of OPC, but practically no grape seed oil. In order to guarantee the high quality of the products, we analyze the natural grape seed flour, which is also available in vegan capsule shells, at regular intervals.

Our alternative: OPC forte with PYCNOGENOL capsules

We don't want to withhold this world first from you: Our OPC forte with PYCNOGENOL(R) capsules contain zinc, selenium, vitamin C and grape seed oil in addition to the valuable active ingredient OPC - so your body is optimally supplied with this combination of important nutrients. And it has it all, because zinc in particular promotes cognitive functions such as learning, concentration, memory, problem solving, orientation or creativity - and much more:

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails and skin.
Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood.
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.
Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
Zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

But selenium should not be underestimated either, it not only supports your immune system, but also normal sperm formation and thyroid function.

Selenium contributes to normal sperm formation.
Selenium contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
Selenium contributes to normal thyroid function.
Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

You certainly know how effective vitamin C is: your immune system benefits, as does your energy metabolism and the formation of collagen, which in turn is important for your blood vessels, gums and teeth, but also for bones, skin and cartilage. Of course, these active ingredients are among the valuable antioxidants that can protect your cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin C contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system.
Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism.
Vitamin C contributes to normal mental function.
Vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
Vitamin C helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for normal function
blood vessels, bones, gums, skin, teeth and cartilage function.

But what actually is PYCNOGENOL(R)? This is a patented botanical derived from the bark of French maritime pines near Bordeaux. The active ingredient, which is considered one of the most effective antioxidants, is extracted from the pine bark within 48 hours. This is the only way we can guarantee the high quality of our purely natural product. Of course, these trees are also grown completely free of pesticides and herbicides. And that, too, is a matter of course for us: If a pine tree is cut down to produce PYCNOGENOL(R), we immediately replace it with a new plant - this is how we understand sustainability.

OPC effects

OPC and side effects

Side effects of OPC from the grape seed are not yet known, as it is a natural plant substance that is generally well tolerated. But here, too, there are no studies over a longer period of time. Caution is generally required if you are allergic to grapes or red wine or have an intolerance. Then please consult your doctor first, just as you would if you were taking blood thinners.

Apply OPC correctly

A few tips should help you to use the OPC obtained from the grape seed correctly and to bring it to its full effect:

Basically, you should follow the recommendation regarding the amount of intake that you will find in the descriptions of our products OPC Grape Seed BIO Premium Powder and OPC Grape Seed BIO Premium Capsules. Even if the need can easily be covered with apples, nuts or dark chocolate in relaxed phases of life, this is often not enough, especially in the case of illness, stress or heavy workloads. Your body can process nutrients more efficiently if you take them on an empty stomach - preferably in the morning before breakfast. Then avoid dairy products for a while to make it easier for your body to absorb the active ingredients.

With our OPC products you are always on the safe side: they contain pure grape seed flour, which is not obtained by extraction and therefore without the addition of water or harmful substances from biodynamically grown Swiss grapes. The quality is checked intensively, both the BIO seal and the Demeter certification speak for themselves. Even the capsules we use are vegan - our products are therefore free of lactose, cholesterol, gluten, artificial flavors, colors, GMOs and preservatives.
