Antioxidant
These powerful antioxidants are important because of their role in removing damaging free radicals from the body.
OPCs have greater antioxidant properties than customary sources such as vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene.
The OPCs in Pycnogenol® are very similar to those found in grape seeds and are 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times stronger than vitamin E.
It is a well-known fact that free-radical damage is a major cause of aging and degenerative disease.
The body obtains antioxidants from many of the whole foods we eat as part of a normal healthy diet.
Unfortunately, few people in the West eat enough of these foods. In addition, their bodies must cope with an overload of free radicals from environmental sources such as smoking and pollution. For this reason, the taking of an antioxidant-rich supplement like Pycnogenol® is vital for many people.
