What are OPCs?

OPCs (short for oligomeric proanthocyanidins) are a group of naturally occurring compounds with important health benefits. OPCs are completely natural, and perform a number of known functions in the human body, although the body itself cannot produce them.  They are a special type of proanthocyandin, which is a chemical compound that helps protect plants. Professor Masquelier was the first to isolate and identify them. He named them OPCs and only included the very smallest kinds in his definition. He did so as these are the ones most active and bioavailable ... the ones that the body can process and are therefore of most nutritional value.
