Nature-derived,Science-enhanced
Bioavailability redefined
Rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), this premium ingredient delivers powerful antioxidant activity with enhanced absorption compared to conventional grape seed extracts1.
While traditional grape seed extracts offer compelling antioxidant benefits, their limited absorption often reduces their potential effectiveness2. OPC MpowerTM addresses this challenge by utilising proprietary phospholipid delivery technology, ensuring OPCs are readily transported across cell membranes for maximum biological impact2.
Why OPC Mpower™
While traditional grape seed extracts offer compelling antioxidant benefits, their limited absorption often reduces their potential effectiveness2. OPC MpowerTM addresses this challenge by utilising proprietary phospholipid delivery technology, ensuring OPCs are readily transported across cell membranes for maximum biological impact2.
This enhanced delivery system improves:
- Cellular uptake and systemic circulation
- Stability in complex formulations (e.g. tablsts, softgels, powders)
- Compatibility with both hydrophilic and lipophilic systems
Key Features
- Phospholipid-bound OPCs for superior bioavailability2
- Standardised OPC content to ensure consistent potency
- Sustainably sourced from premium Vitis vinifera grape seeds
- Clinically relevant antioxidant protection3
- Enhanced water and lipid solubility for diverse formulation compatibility
Health Benefits Supported by Science
OPC MpowerTM offers broad-spectrum health support, backed by extensive scientific evidence on grape seed OPCs:
- Antioxidant defence: Helps neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress3-4
- Cardiovascular support: May assist in maintaining healthy blood pressure and endothelial function5
- Skin health: Promotes collagen integrity and skin elasticity6
- Cognitive function: Protects neural tissues from oxidative damage7
- Anti-inflammatory action: Modulates inflammatory pathways linked to chronic disease8
Applications
OPC MpowerTM is suitable for a wide range of finished product formats:
- Nutraceutical supplements (capsules, tablets, powders)
- Functional foods and beverages
- Skin health and beauty-from-within formulas
- Sports nutrition
- Brain and cardiovascular health blends
