Overview of OPC3

Unformatted Sample Text from the Research Paper:
like C3POs ugly half sister, in reality it may quickly become the belle of the ball of the pharmaceutical world. If anyone thinks that OPC3 is difficult to remember,  they ought to try saying its scientific name Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins, or a mixture of pine bark, grape seed extract and red wine extract. After all of that, OPC3 is easier,  is it not? Joking aside, this supplement has been making quite a stir and if it can live up to the hype by its advertisers, Market America, then it could  very well be the wonder drug for the new millennium, or possibly the rosetta stone that unlocks the door to other discoveries. Market America is one of the more widely  viewed and used distributors of OPCs, but it can be said that anyone can make their own cocktail by ingesting grapeseed extract tablets, red wine tablets, and pine bark tabs.  And to be quite honest, Market America does not manufacture the supplement, they only market it. Proanthocyanidins are the active ingredients in OPCs and it is this collection of  anti-oxidant agents that have researchers all a-buzz. For those who are scientifically inclined, this group of proanthocynanidins are part of the flavonoid family, which means that they can play a  large role in the stabilization of collagen and elastin, which are two basic proteins in the connective tissues that surround most of the bodys major organs, joints, blood vessels, and  larger muscle groups(Taylor, 2002). Some of the early research has been highly encouraging with scientists noting its ability to reduce inflammation, and to have anti-mutagenic activity(which means that it can  prevent mutation from occurring in the cells such as that which happens to cancer patients)(Taylor, 2002). OPCs have also added to the viability of blood vessels and capillaries even in
