An Antioxidant is any substance that protects cells from the damage caused by free radicals (unstable molecules made by the process of oxidation during normal metabolism). Free radicals may play a part in cancer, heart disease, stroke and other diseases of aging.

The two most well known antioxidants are vitamin C and vitamin E. Thousands of research reports have been published in scientific journals all around the world about their importance to health. Vitamin C is water soluble and is important in protecting the "aqueous" parts of our cells and tissues, while vitamin E is oil soluble and protects the "lipid" portions, especially cellular membranes.

Oxidation provides needed energy for life, yet within our bodies the process is a two-edged sword. Unfortunately, a small number of the oxygen molecules we breathe are converted within our bodies to unstable free radicals. Free radical-caused oxidation produces premature aging and sets us up for serious illness, including cancer and heart disease. Natalie Angier, science reporter for The New York Times, calls the damage by free radicals "the price we pay for breathing.

Antioxidants are substances with free-radical chain-reaction-breaking properties. They include any substance that significantly delays, inhibits, or prevents oxidation caused by free radicals. Antioxidants are key to stopping premature aging and preventing many degenerative diseases while allowing the body to be able to repair the damage that occurs. Another antioxidant benefit is protecting the body's tissues from free radicals before they cause mutations

It's important to understand the value of Masquelier's (Tru-OPCs) by knowing they are as much as 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E in the ability to provide antioxidant protection. 

Poor nutrition results in disease

Many other medical experts are making equally strong statements about the relationship between nutrition and disease. In March 1994, The Alliance for Aging Research, a non-profit senior citizens group in Washington DC, announced that their panel of medical experts had concluded that "a diet rich in antioxidants is effective in guarding against heart disease, cancer, cataracts, and other conditions associated with aging."

Most of us may think that we eat balanced, nourishing meals. However, studies show that at least 80% of Americans do not get the daily recommended servings of fruits and vegetables. The most frequently consumed foods are coffee, white bread and sugar, in that order. Not to mention the shortfalls of the prevalent "fast food diet". Even if we prepare "well-balanced" meals, how can we be sure that the food is not nutrient- poor? Due to over-farming, chemical farming, processing, and refining, the nutrient content of much of our food is questionable. Thus, many believe that the majority of Americans are overfed and under-nourished.

Oxidation is literally decay. Oxidation in our environment is seen as rusting of metal, rotting of meat, browning of apples, and the brittle changes in old rubber. Oxidation in our bodies, like rust or rot, is thought responsible for premature aging, wrinkling of skin, hardening of arteries, stiffening of joints, formation of cataracts, development of cancer...

Because of overexposure to free radicals, our bodies need outside help. Because our diets are inadequate, we need to take antioxidant supplements. Premature decay leads to premature aging, degenerative disease, and life-threatening illness."

Antioxidants to the rescue - Details

Is antioxidant therapy really the biggest medical breakthrough of the last 50 years? We believe it is, as do other prominent researchers and physicians. We also foresee that general acceptance of antioxidant therapy in the medical community will be slow. It may be another 20 years before the majority of physicians fully realize it's importance and potential.

Until then, we can sympathize with Louis Pasteur, father of the last great breakthrough in modern medicine, who was widely ridiculed for proposing that surgeons should wash their hands before operating.

In 1947, Professor Jack Arthur Masquelier was the first to hold the result of his first patented invention in the palm of his hand: oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs).

OPCs stand as one of the most helpful nutritional substances in the world.

Here is a brief list of the health benefits of OPCs:

• Acts as a superior antioxidant, protecting cells in the body against destruction by free radicals.
• Lowers LDL cholesterol levels, thus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
• Reduces platelet aggregation, thus reducing the risk of atherosclerosis.
• Increases the strength and elasticity of blood vessels, protecting against rupture, leakage and degeneration.
• Enhances the ability of collagen to repair itself, thereby protecting against age-related and degenerative processes.
• Inhibits swelling (edema) and inflammation.
• Relieves functional problems of varicose veins.
• Reduces discomfort associated with PMS and menopause.
• Reduces the tendency toward diabetic retinopathy.
• Improves skin health by reducing damage, increasing nutrient supply and improving elasticity.
