For centuries it has been known that Bioflavanols or OPC has the ability to counteract the effects of autoimmune diseases like Crohn's Disease and Colitis. Pharmaceutical companies have made information on them a best kept secret for years. Bioflavanols aren't made in laboratories; they occur naturally in plant compounds, as plant pigments and powerful antioxidants that fight against inflammation and the production of histamines in our body. inflammation of course is the main culprit in causing the painful symptoms in Crohn's/Colitis like cramps, gas, bloating and diarrhea.
We can find limited amounts of OPC in foods like apricots, blackberries, black currants, broccoli, cantaloupes, cherries, grapefruits, grapes, black/green tea, oranges and lemons. But the highest levels of the Bioflavanol - OPC are found in pine bark, grape seed, and grape skin. OPC by itself is not found in enough abundance in our daily diets (especially the pine bark and grape seeds) to approach any therapeutic value to us. Any of the bioflavanols we can get from OPC is purely from the raw foods we eat.
The natural potency provided from that OPC is however usually lost in the cooking process. However, supplementation with OPC, extracted from pine bark and grape seeds and processed into a fast absorbing powder form, has been shown to be a very effective free radicals inhibitor. Using OPC as a dietary supplement has been proven to be a natural secret agent effective in controlling the inflammation that occurs with Crohn's and Colitis. It also works equally well with other inflammation related illnesses such as hay fever, allergies or hepatitis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lupus and ulcerative colitis.
Very much like Crohn's and Colitis, allergies follow the same process of inflammation known to be a disorder of the immune system, better known as an autoimmune disease. In a correctly functioning immune system, our cells have the natural capacity for recognizing, evaluating and neutralizing or eliminating alien material called free radicals from the body. However for Crohn's/Colitis sufferers we need the help provided from OPC or Bioflavanols to neutralize the free radical activity and inhibit the harmful effects of those inflammatory enzymes in our bodies.
With a bettor functioning immune system, everything works bettor, your stomach doesn't hurt anymore, your joints don't hurt like they used to, you stop running to the bathroom numerous times a day, and even your energy level increases significantly. These powerful secret agents Bioflavanols are secrets no more. Effective OPC supplementaion can truly help you get back to the pain-free and active lifestyle you once enjoyed before Crohn's and Colitis.
