The powerful anti-ageing formula: OPC + resveratrol with vitamin C

Science-Backed

The human body is exposed to so-called "free radicals" on a daily basis. These highly reactive oxygen compounds are produced naturally during metabolic processes – such as cellular respiration or immune responses – as well as from external factors like UV radiation, air pollution, tobacco smoke, or certain substances formed during grilling and frying.

Although the body is equipped with complex protective mechanisms, when the balance between free radicals and these defenses is disrupted and the damaging effects of free radicals outweigh the protective mechanisms, oxidative stress results. [1]Oxidative stress is a factor in all the accompanying symptoms of aging - from aging skin to declining muscle strength to failing memory.

Support through antioxidants

Antioxidants help the body to cope with oxidative stress. They act as scavengers of radicals and protect cell structures such as membranes, proteins and DNA from oxidative damage. Alongside the body’s own antioxidants, such as glutathione and specific enzymes, antioxidants from food, including vitamin C and polyphenols, may also play an important role.

*The functions of vitamins and minerals in the human body have been scientifically examined and confirmed by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). [2]The health claims in relation to plants and plant substances have not yet been conclusively evaluated. However, due to the number of studies, the efficacy described here can be sufficiently substantiated.

OPC – polyphenols from grape seed extract

In humans, polyphenols like OPC are linked to a reduced risk of various diseases. [3] [4] Studies indicate that OPCs have pronounced antioxidant properties.

For example, one study shows that OPC can achieve a 78 to 81 percent inhibition of oxidants and free radicals at a concentration of 100 mg / l. [5] 

Another study found that OPC grape seed extract capsules have an antioxidant effect that is at least equal to, and sometimes even stronger than, that of pure vitamin C, E, or beta-carotene. [6] 

The antioxidant properties of trans-resveratrol

Studies suggest that the antioxidant properties of the polyphenol resveratrol support the process of cell renewal in the human body. Based on these studies, trans-resveratrol is believed to contribute to

• protection of cells from oxidative stress,
• a positive influence on the cell renewal process,
• improving cell resistance,

and may thus also provide support in cases of premature skin ageing (wrinkles). [7] [8] [9] 

Trans-resveratrol is also said to help protect brain cells from oxidative stress [10] [D403]] and to have a beneficial influence on the cardiovascular system. [11] [12] [13] [14] 

Vitamin C – the best-known "anti-ageing" vitamin

Vitamin C is well-known as a potent antioxidant that may help protect our body’s cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals[2], thus potentially slowing the aging process of cells.

Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for normal skin function. [2]This makes it the ideal support in cases of premature skin ageing.

In addition, EFSA's research revealed that vitamin C contributes to [2]:

• normal functioning of the immune system.
• normal functioning of the blood vessels,
• normal functioning of bones and cartilage,
• normal functioning of the gums and teeth,
• normal functioning of the nervous system and psyche,
• reduction of fatigue and tiredness.
