[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

In an age where more and more people are always craving to be fairer there is one wonder drug which is taking the media by whole. That is glutathione. Glutathione is an antioxidant. So it is a stress buster for your cells. Naturally it is produced inside your body. It was discovered that glutathione causes fairness in patients who were taking anti cancer medicines. Then it became a buzz word in the beauty industry. However there a lot of safety issues on glutathione especially when it is administered IV or in the injection method. So now lot of companies have bought out glutathione tablets. Glutathione is not well absorbed by taking it as a tablet. That means it is actually better to take foods which contain glutathione instead of spending a lot on taking supplements because they are very expensive. Foods which naturally contain glutathione includes tomatoes, avocados and walnuts. So increasing intake of these could actually improve skin tone. They also contain natural extracts like lycopenes and proanthocyanidins which also brighten the skin. So if it is a teenager first thing is don’t use any medicines without consultation of the doctor and instead try natural alternative.

https://www.lifeplusvitamins.com/opc85.html – Tests show how Life Plus Proanthenols OPC contains on average 4- 5 times more OPC than typical Grape Seed Extract products. Making it the most potent OPC – grape seed extract antioxidant product you can buy. Dr. Jacques Masquelier’s original OPC product.

The Proanthocyanidins (OPC) in these quality products are 100% bioavailable active proanthocyanidins from Masquelier’s OPC including pharmaceutical grade 100% residue free extracts of both Grape Seed and Pine Bark

Life Plus Proanthenols OPC stands out is the inclusion of CytoFlav-C, a secret blend of synergistic nutrients including Lemon Bioflavonoids, Hesperidin, Rutin, Quercetin and Vitamin C.

Antioxidants Protect Against Free Radical Attack

Cigarette smoke, air pollution, alcohol, drugs, radiation, and chemicals —what do all these have in common? They generate free radicals, which cause “oxidative stress”. Free radicals attack many of your vital cellular components, including cellular membranes.

They also stimulate processes that have been linked to accelerated cellular aging.

Proanthenols contains the exclusive Real OPC extracted by Berkem Laboratories from both grape seeds and pine bark as based on research by Dr. Jack Masquelier, Professor from the University of Bordeaux in Southern France.

Vascular health has been shown to be supported by supplementation with OPC.* Actually, OPC are unique among antioxidants, due to their complex mixture of different sized molecules (oligomers). This complex mixture enables them to function as an antioxidant network in-and-of themselves; they also protect other important antioxidant reserves in the body, such as glutathione and vitamin E.

Life Plus combines Real OPC with a proprietary blend of bioflavonoids including citrus flavonoids, hesperidin, rutin, quercetin, and even vitamin C. Of course, we’ve included our exclusive PhytoZyme™ Base of concentrates from over 30 specially selected fruit, vegetable, and herbal concentrates to further enhance its benefits.

Supports Collagen

In addition to antioxidant protection, Real OPC also support collagen and help maintain elastin throughout your whole body. These two critical proteins are major components of all your connective tissues and organs. They are responsible for maintaining structural integrity as well as the elasticity of all the tissues throughout your body.*

This includes your joints, blood vessels, skin, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and even your heart. By maintaining healthy levels of structural collagen and elastin, your body is able to continue to function more efficiently and maintain its youthful strength and flexibility longer.*

The OPC in Proanthenols actually attach to “reactive sites” on collagen molecules and protect them from free radical attack. This is one of the reasons they are so protective and so valuable for your circulatory system.

Supports Vision

Double blind studies have shown that OPC actually strengthen capillaries (the tiniest of all blood vessels) while using as little as 100 mg per day.

A clinical study has also demonstrated that OPC help to maintain and support visual performance in the dark and after exposure to glare in healthy people with normal vision. Research at Loma Linda University, which showed protective effects of OPC on blood vessels in various experimental models, has also suggested that OPC may play a role in helping to maintain healthy mental function as people age.
