Calcium
Calcium is a vital nutrient found in various foods such as dairy products, certain vegetables, and many fortified items. Over 99% of the body's calcium is stored in the bones and teeth, predominantly as hydroxyapatite. The remaining calcium circulates in the blood, extracellular fluid, muscles, and other tissues, where it is essential for processes like nerve signaling, muscle contraction, vascular activities, glandular secretion, and maintaining cell membrane and capillary permeability. It also plays critical roles in enzyme reactions, respiration, kidney function, and blood clotting, and is involved in neurotransmitter and hormone release, amino acid uptake, vitamin B12 absorption, and gastrin secretion. Calcium balance changes with age: it is positive during periods of growth, stable in adulthood, and tends to become negative in older age. Calcium loss occurs through feces, urine, sweat, and shedding skin cells. In women, reduced estrogen levels decrease calcium absorption and retention, increase bone turnover, and lead to lower bone mass. Calcium supplements come in various forms, including citrate and carbonate, which differ mainly in their calcium content and absorption rates. Calcium citrate is easily absorbed and can be taken without food, making it suitable for older adults or those with low stomach acid. In contrast, calcium carbonate, which contains a higher percentage of calcium, is best absorbed when taken with meals.

Magnesium
Magnesium is a mineral that is essential for the proper functioning of the body. It plays a role in many important physiological processes, including the contraction and relaxation of muscles, the transmission of nerve impulses, and the regulation of blood pressure. Magnesium is found in a variety of foods, including leafy green vegetables, nuts, and grains, and it is also available as a dietary supplement. There are several different forms of magnesium that are available as supplements, all of which can be used to prevent deficiency. Additionally, magnesium is purported to have several different health benefits, such as improving sleep, reducing muscle cramps, reducing anxiety, and preventing or treating migraines. Although magnesium is essential for health, magnesium-containing foods and supplements can interact with some prescription medications if used at the same time.

Grape
Grapes are widely grown and cultivated for a variety of uses such as for food and beverage making (e.g., wine). They also have a long history of use in traditional medicine. The fruit and skin of grapes contain various compounds that are believed to have health benefits, including antioxidants such as resveratrol and flavonoids. These compounds may help to protect cells from damage and are purported to reduce the risk of certain chronic diseases. Grapes and grape products may also have anti-inflammatory properties, which may help to reduce inflammation in the body and potentially improve symptoms of certain conditions. Grape seed extracts are also commonly used as a dietary supplement and are often standardized according to the content of polyphenols or proanthocyanidins.

General Statements |
- Andrew Lessman’s PINE BARK OPC ANTI-OXIDANTS combines the benefits of our high potency standardized Pine Bark extracts, as well as Grape Seed, to deliver our highest potency OPC (oligomeric proanthocyanidin) formula. The active ingredients in Pine Bark and Grape Seed extracts are known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which are natural polyphenols that provide powerful anti-oxidant protection to support a wide variety of tissues and organ systems in the body. Studies have shown that OPCs are better free-radical scavengers than Vitamin E, and epidemiologic evidence suggests that a diet high in these nutrients may help to support the health and integrity of the heart and cardiovascular system. Pine Bark has been shown to protect the heart and blood vessels from free-radical damage and research further demonstrates the efficacy of Pine Bark in also supporting the nervous, immune and ocular (eye) systems. Pine Bark OPC utilizes special forms of Pine Bark extracts from around the world to capture the widest range of naturally occurring OPC anti-oxidants available. We also add our special standardized Grape Seed extract, which is the other exceptional source of powerful OPC antioxidants. Pine Bark OPC offers a unique combination of exceptionally powerful anti-oxidants that target and neutralize a broad range of damaging free radicals in the most important and vulnerable tissues within the body.
