What is your best-selling antioxidant?
OPC-3™
|
| |
Antioxidants
are extremely important for removing
free radicals
from the body. Market America's best selling product is an antioxidant
breakthrough called OPC-3.
A powerful antioxidant, OPC-3™
provides natural
antioxidant protection. Choose OPC-3for your free radical antioxidant needs. | |
|
An
antioxidant is a substance that gives up electrons easily so it can
neutralize oxidants, including free radicals. Unfortunately, these protective
systems may not always be adequate when a system becomes overloaded and weakened
with
free radicals.
|
| |
 Free
radical attacks on DNA, which is the genetic material of the cells,
cause cells to die or mutate and possibly become cancerous. Free radicals may be
involved in cancers of the lungs, cervix, skin, stomach, prostate, colon and
esophagus.
Free radicals also attack blood fats which may lead to heart and blood
vessel disease. When the LDL type of cholesterol reacts with free radicals it
becomes damaged and this may lead to arteriosclerosis. Unless LDL cholesterol
becomes damaged it does not seem to be harmful. Thus the damaging of LDL
cholesterol is a critical link between high blood cholesterol and the build-up
of vessel-blocking plaques. |
|
Arteriosclerosis is the major cause of
hardening of the arteries and therefore of heart attacks. Levels of another type
of cholesterol, known as HDL cholesterol, which may protect against
cardiovascular disease, may be lowered by
free radical activity. Free radicals can also damage cellular
enzymes. The processes which depend on these enzymes slow or stop, leading to
cell damage and death. Dormant enzymes can also be activated and this can result
in tissue damage. |
|
Free radicals may be involved in the inflammatory
response seen in rheumatoid arthritis and asthma. |
Free radicals may also damage sperm causing infertility and birth
defects. They may also be involved in ulcers and other digestive tract
disorders, liver damage and reduced resistance to infection and disease. |
Antioxidants and the aging process
|
Evidence is growing that free radicals
are an underlying cause of
aging as the biological markers of the process are the same as those
caused by free radical damage. As the mitochondria are where most of the
oxygen reactions in the cell occur, they may be the most susceptible to damage
by free radicals. It has been suggested that the rate of damage, and therefore
aging, in mitochondria may determine how long a person lives. |
High levels of antioxidants also increase the
effectiveness of the immune system, making older people less susceptible to
life-threatening infections. |
Experiments with aging animals show
that the effectiveness of the body's
antioxidant system decreases with age, possibly because of reduced
dietary intake, absorption or increased nutrient needs. A steady supply of
antioxidant vitamins and minerals should enhance the body's natural
defense mechanisms and improve the quality and length of life.

OPC,
formally know as
oligomeric
proanthocyanidin, is a powerful
antioxidant
product that is best absorbed by the body in an
isotonic form.
Market America
provides an excellent product called Isotonix OPC-3,
which, when mixed with the directed amount of water,
bears
the
same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. Isotonix®
dietary supplements allow nutrients to pass directly into the small intestine
and be rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream for rapid distribution.
|
|
| Each capful
of
OPC-3™
contains 125 milligrams of bioflavonoids, of which 75 milligrams are oligomeric
proanthocyanidins in an
isotonic-capable base. That means
that the active ingredients will be delivered in the highest concentration to
the small intestine, where most absorption of nutrients occurs. To start using
OPC-3™
for its
benefit as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, take two level capfuls for
every 150 pounds of body weight for the first seven days. This is referred to as
the saturation dosage.
Then, switch to a daily
dosage of one capful, per 150 lbs. of body weight, as a maintenance dose. For
example, if you weigh 190 pounds, you would take three servings of
OPC-3™
per day for seven days, then switch to two servings per day for long-term health
maintenance. Any excess of
OPC-3™
will not be of any negative consequence, since
OPC-3™ is non-toxic.
