Exciting news on OPC-3!

A new study, e-published in Phytotherapy Research, evaluates how quickly Isotonix OPC-3® is absorbed vs. the same formulation in tablet form (not commercially available).

Calcium Supplementation

Current science supports the view that calcium is mainly absorbed in an ionized state in the small intestine through calcium channels in the enterocyte plasma membranes. Vitamin D3 stimulates the induction of calcium-binding proteins, enhancing calcium ion absorption via those channels.

Free Radicals

Free radicals, more accurately described as atoms or molecules with unpaired electrons, are highly reactive and readily undergo chemical reactions (1). Free radicals and their precursors can be produced endogenously through normal metabolic processes or exogenously through air pollutants, smoking and other sources.

Natural Anti-inflammatories

Controlling joint inflammation generally targets the inhibition of prostaglandin production (via the COX enzyme) and leukotrienes (via the enzyme 5-LO). Many health professionals are not aware that there are safe, natural and effective nutritional and herbal approaches to promote bone and joint health

Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs)

OPCs are primarily derived from grape seed, pine bark and red wine. Each source has its own unique structure and exerts its own distinct biological activity, thus research scientists recommend an OPC product that contains a diverse blend of OPCs.

Omega-3 Fish Oils – From Heart to Smart

Fish oils are derived predominantly from cold water fish which have fed on other marine life such as phytoplankton. These oils, rich in omega-3 fatty acids, are excellent sources of essential EPA and DHA. EPA and DHA have multiple actions in a number of body systems including the cardiovascular, ocular and the central nervous systems.
