Discovery of OPC
The vital substance of OPC was discovered and isolated in 1947 by Professor Dr. Jaques Masquelier at Bordeaux. As in the discovery of Penicillin, this happened quite incidentally. He discovered this sensational substance while examining the red-brown skins of peanuts to see if they could be used as mast for animal feeding and, as it was the post-war period, as a source of protein for human beings as well. Later, he isolated this specific group of substances, the oligomere proantho-cyanidines, from the maritime pine and from the seeds of grapes as well. Further occurrence of OPC: in wild blackberries, wild raspberries, propolis, garlic, ginseng, rosehip, tree bark and needles, tea tree oil.
Production
OPC is a highly water-soluble substance. The grape seeds are crushed and then heated in water. As all water-soluble substances are dissolved – not only OPC, a patented extraction method has been developed and improved continuously in the course of 50 years with the cooperation of OPC’s discoverer, Prof. Dr. Jacques Masquelier, delivering a guaranteed OPC content of 85 – 90%.
Interesting facts
OPC has almost entirely vanished from our food today due to the processing and the long storage times of our foods. A sufficient supply might only be obtained through a daily consumption of 2.25 litres of red wine or 2.5 kg of peanuts which is definitely not recommended.
OPC is absorbed within the body immediately after consumption. It is assimilated within minutes, remains active for as long as 72 hours (in contrast to 2 – 4 hours for vitamin C and E) and even crosses the blood-brain barrier.
The ORAC value*
The antioxidant potential of a food can be expressed in ORAC units (µmol TE/100 g).
ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity. TE stands for Trolox Equivalent (vitamin E standard). The very high ORAC value of 20240 µmol TE/g, i.e. 6072 µmol TE/capsule of our product was determined using the above-mentioned method.
ORAC note
The information on the ORAC values of our product can serve as possible comparative data, the significance of which is currently still being extensively researched.
* According to the current state of knowledge, there is insufficient scientific evidence on the extent to which the ORAC value actually has an influence on physiological processes in the human body and on maintaining its health.
Human Need of Vitamin C
As the human organism does not produce vitamin C by itself, we depend on additional supplies of this vitamin.
Under certain conditions such as stress and physical strain, our demand for vitamin C increases rapidly. For example: to absorb 1 gram of vitamin C, one would have to eat more than 2 kg of freshly picked oranges per day. This need can be covered by approx. 6 g (1 ½ teaspoons) of our acerola powder. For persons with an allergic reaction to citrus fruits, our acerola extract can be an ideal solution as well.
