OPC de Pin Maritime - Natural Antioxidant for Cellular Protection

Oligoproanthocyanidins and proanthocyanidins, a combination of antioxidants with multiple benefits.

Formula based on French maritime pine OPC extract from the Oligopin® brand, standardized to 96% total antioxidant polyphenols and a minimum of 67% OPCs, and concentrated maritime pine extract (Pinus Pinaster) with a very high content (95%) of antioxidants from the same family, proanthocyanidins.

Maritime pine contains exceptional natural substances: proanthocyanidins, highly valuable and versatile antioxidants, and oligoproanthocyanidin (OPC), both belonging to the flavonoid family, antioxidants known for their protective properties on our cardiovascular system. Their antioxidant qualities are also incredibly powerful, more than 30 times superior to vitamin C and vitamin E, making them exceptional cellular protectors.

Indeed, antioxidants play a primordial role. By inhibiting the oxidation of our cells and neutralizing free radicals, they slow down the wear and aging processes of our organs, skin, cartilage, circulatory and nervous systems.

Proanthocyanidins, including OPCs, bind with collagen, an essential protein for the cohesion of our cellular tissues for the health and maintenance of all our connective tissues (bone and adipose tissues, cartilage, skin, tendons, ligaments, blood tissue, arteries, etc.). Connective tissues support and protect our tissues and organs and ensure the passage of numerous substances between the blood and these tissues. As seats of the cells of our immune system (lymphocytes, macrophages, etc.), they play a major role in inflammatory reactions and healing processes. These effects make proanthocyanidins and OPCs precious compounds for the cardiovascular system.

Maritime Pine OPC Djform, for whom? For what?

Numerous studies and tests carried out in recent years on maritime pine extract highlight its contribution in:

• Protection of our circulatory system: the antioxidants contained in OPCs and proanthocyanidins help reduce venous insufficiency and its effects (varicose veins, heavy legs, etc.), and make it an excellent support, particularly for the elderly. Thanks to its beneficial action on blood circulation and microcirculation, it is highly recommended for air travel and working in a seated position. It is also a good companion for athletes (oxygenation, recovery, tissue regeneration, reduction of free radical production, which increase during intense physical activities).

• Eye wellness: antioxidants are necessary for us to fight against oxidative stress, protecting our cells, especially those of the eyes. Healthy cells are a bulwark against degeneration, particularly related to exposure to blue light*.

• Skin protection and beauty: antioxidants participate in the fight against oxidative stress which leads to the premature aging of our cells. They also constitute a support for our skin in case of exposure to UV rays and sunlight, although they do not replace the application of sunscreen.

The quality of our skin is a good indicator of our antioxidant needs. It is the reflection of the state of our organs, tissues, and various systems. A deficiency is notably recognized by a premature loss of elasticity, firmness, or radiance, and the appearance of early fine lines and wrinkles.

Why did we choose pullulan capsules for our Djform products?

The "HPMC vegetable capsule" is only vegetable in name! Behind a marketing facade, the HPMC vegetable capsule actually contains chemical residues. To always offer you the most qualitative products possible, DJFORM uses pullulan capsules, suitable for vegetarian, plant-based, and vegan diets. Instead of indigestible wood cellulose for HPMC-type vegetable capsules, pullulan capsules are food products derived from sugar cane that our bodies are able to digest.
