OPC Plus
The Framework Of Our Immune System
OPC Plus is a powerful antioxidant product that minimizes damaging free radicals, thus strengthening the immune system and slowing the aging process. It contains 10 super antioxidant ingredients, including all natural vitamins and herbs.
In recent years, an ever-increasing number of biochemical, nutritional and medical professionals have found that OPCs are the strongest antioxidants in existence. Over 60 different disorders are caused by free radicals, including heart disease, cancer, allergies, and many immune deficiency syndromes. OPCs have been shown to increase skin elasticity and smoothness, increase lubrication and flexibility of joints, improve eyesight, heighten immunity, inflammation, and support a healthier aging process.
Compared to products in the same category, OPC Plus is unique in its synergistic antioxidant formulation, with its combination of antioxidants providing greater effectiveness than each antioxidant could provide alone. It is recommended for all ages and physical conditions as a valuable regular dietary supplement. An important feature of OPC Plus is no added sugar.

Background:
Diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, fibromyalgia, and cancer. These are just a few of the debilitating and often deadly diseases that are reaching epidemic proportions. Although medical science has achieved many major technological advancements our environment is becoming increasingly toxic with each passing year. As a result, our growing population is also becoming increasingly toxic.
Scientific studies have proven that toxins from the environment and chronic stress both contribute to an excessive build up of free radicals tipping the delicate balance of the body's immune and metabolic systems. These same studies have found that free radicals are also the root cause of many diseases. Free radical damage, when left unchecked, has been found to be a major contributor to many chronic diseases such as diabetes, arthritis, cardiovascular disease, fibromyalgia, and even cancer.
You may be asking, “What are free radicals and what causes them?” Free radicals are by-products of our basic metabolic functions such as respiration and digestion. They possess an extra negative charge and steal electrons from neutral atoms thus creating an unstable or electrically charged environment. A certain amount of electrical charge in the body is necessary to produce energy, maintain immunity, transmit nerve impulses, synthesize hormones and cause our muscles to contract. However, an excessive amount of these unstable atoms or free radicals create excessive oxidative damage. Oxidative damage is similar to what we see as rust on unprotected metal. If the rust isn't removed, the metal is eventually destroyed. If the oxidative damage in our body isn't repaired, it begins to destroy the tissues and organs and creates an unbalanced immune system. Eventually, free radicals attack the very structure of our cell membranes eventually damaging the DNA.
Free radical damage can be seen in many age-related conditions. The skin becomes less elastic and begins to wrinkle. Vision deteriorates, energy decreases, and we begin experiencing the aches and pains of arthritis. Adult onset allergies are also a growing concern.
Scientists have linked a high level of free radical activity to many chronic diseases including diabetes, autoimmune diseases; such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and lupus, cardiovascular disease, and finally cancer. But there is good news! These same scientists have also discovered that when patients over 60 years of age were treated with antioxidants, there was a significant reduction in the amount of free radicals in their bodies and many age-related symptoms actually improved. In some cases the free radical level decreased to the level of a 30 year old. They found that antioxidants scavenge free radicals and help to repair the damage left behind. They also work to strengthen cell membranes against further attack.
OPC's are the most common and powerful form of antioxidants known today. They were first isolated from pine bark in 1950 and from grape seed in 1970 by Professor Jacques Masquelier, of the University of Bordeaux in France . Since that time scientists have discovered OPC's in many fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, flowers, and bark. Other sources include red wine extract, cranberries, bilberry leaves, birch, ginkgo, and hawthorne .
Antioxidants are known to target specific organs or systems in the body such as the liver or reproductive organs and the immune and cardiovascular systems. So in order to achieve the best protection for the entire body it is necessary to take a variety of antioxidants from a variety of high quality sources. Amkey's OPC Plus contains over 10 powerful antioxidant ingredients, making it one of the most effective antioxidant supplements on the market today.

Vitamin E, Selenium, Red wine extract, Grape seed extract, Pine bark, and Tea extract blend support the cardiovascular system. The tea extract blend contains black, green and white teas. White tea has been shown to have a very high antioxidant activity level.
Bilberry and Lutein support the health of the eyes. These two nutrients are very powerful and have been found to not only nurture the optic nerve and retina but also repair any damage done to the smaller blood vessels that nourish the eyes. They also help to soothe the eyes, keeping them moist and free from irritation.
LymphSelect is a patented form of sweet yellow clover. Sweet yellow clover has been used for centuries as a diuretic and to support the lymph system which is one of our body's main methods to eliminate toxins. When toxins are not eliminated, from the body they may transfer from one organ system to another causing damage as they move throughout the body.
