 
OLIGOMERIC PROANTHOCYANIDINS: OPC'S
OPC is a plant product that is made from grape seed
extract, red wine extract and pine bark extract. These foods contain
powerful bioflavanoids known as OPC's and have been shown to be
extremely effective against free radical damage. Free radicals attack
body tissue, degrade collagen and are considered to be the underlying
cause of many diseases. OPC's helps to neutralize the effects of
free radical damage. When free radicals are controlled the body
has a chance to heal itself.
The use of OPC's to treat ADHD has been circulating
for years. The most significant improvements noted by patients are
in areas relating to sustained attention and distractibility rather
than hyperactivity and impulsivity. How OPC's improve brain function
and possibly symptoms of ADHD are speculative. Unfortunately there
are not any published studies out at this time. Yet the research
is quite clear that lifestyle choices, including dietary habits
do effect our genetic potential.
Considering that in 1997 only 1% of children and adolescents
met the recommended dietary allowances with 50% of daily calories
from fat and sugar it is time to look at nutrition and nutrition
supplements?
