OPC GrapeGold® for Leg Vein Health

HOW IT WORKS: There is mounting medical evidence that the amount of collagen (which gives strength) and the quality of the elastin (which gives elasticity) are abnormal in the leg veins of people who develop varicose veins.

Our bodies produce a naturally- occurring enzyme (collagenase) that destroys collagen and another enzyme (elastase) which destroys elastin. As we age we produce less collagen and elastin, causing us to slowly lose ground to this destructive process. Over time, loss of strength and elasticity leads to weakening of the vascular wall, causing leakage (varicose veins). If allowed to progress unchecked this can lead to increased risk of aneurism (stroke). Primary Source OPC GrapeGold® acts by rebuilding and maintaining collagen, which will increase the strength and thickness of the vascular wall. It then protects healthy collagen by neutralizing collagenase and preventing it from destroying the cross-links that give collagen its structural integrity. This same protective action occurs for elastin as well, by neutralizing elastase. Healthy elastin means more flexible and pliable veins and arteries.

This process is most important at the capillary level, where the exchange of nutrients and waste to and from the cell takes place. These capillaries are often spindly and fragile, yet they play a critical role in our body's overall health. Daily use of Primary Source OPC GrapeGold® can improve circulation to our legs by strengthening and increasing flexibility and smoothness of veins, arteries and capillaries. Most individuals experience significant improvement in their legs functionality and appearance within a few short months of daily use. Individual results are subject to an individual's constitution (hereditary health), lifestyle and environmental factors.

Primary Source GrapeGold®:
Has been clinically proven to improve and maintain optimum leg & vein health

This unique formula provides proven health benefits:

• increases elasticity and strength of vein walls to protect against capillary leakage*.
• helps minimize the appearance of spider veins in the legs and face*.
• helps to relieve nocturnal leg pain and cramping*.
• increases blood flow to, through and from the lower extremities*.
• supports the body's own cholesterol regulating mechanisms, thus inhibiting LDL oxidation and plaque formations*.
• is a powerful antioxidant that helps protect cells*.
• scientifically proven safe and effective for more than 50 years.

Primary Source OPC GrapeGold® contains authentic French OPC as discovered by Dr. Jack Masquelier. This true form of OPC is manufactured in the Bordeaux region of France, by the same manufacturing facility used by Dr. Masquelier to perfect his extraction method for pure OPC.

Primary Source OPC GrapeGold® supports healthy circulation and leg vein wellness via it's unique ability to protect and strengthen collagen and elastin, the building blocks of capillaries, veins and arteries.* This is especially beneficial for the capillaries, which are mainly responsible for nourishing the body.

OPC GrapeGold® supports capillary permeability, thereby stopping seeping fluids, protein and blood while allowing the necessary oxygen, carbon dioxide and essential nutrients to pass through.* It strengthens capillary walls in the legs, effectively reducing venous problems.*

Free radicals and damaging enzymes within the circulatory system contribute to deterioration, low density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) oxidation and plaque formation. OPC GrapeGold® supports the body's own cholesterol-regulating mechanisms.* OPC GrapeGold® has a strong antioxidant action that effectively counters the damaging effects of free radicals and protects cells against enzyme attack.*

OPC GrapeGold® helps support circulatory system health which is vitally important for all cells, tissues and organs and essential to life and vitality.

An Affinity for Proteins
OPC GrapeGold® has an affinity for proteins. Unlike bioflavonoids, OPC GrapeGold® attaches to collagen and elastin, especially those tissues rich in glycosaminoglycans.* These include vascular and lymphatic membranes, stomach, gastrointestinal linings, sinus and respiratory systems and joint and vertebral support areas.

Primary Source OPC GrapeGold® bonds with the proteins that form the vascular system walls.* This thwarts cell destruction, while improving the healthy capillary's selective passing of essential substances. OPC GrapeGold® protects intercellular structures, including the nuclear, mitochondrial, lysosomal and endoplasmic reticular membranes from free radical attack.*
