BACKGROUND
Dr. Jack Masquelier's and various scientific colleagues' decades of work in documenting the health benefits of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC) has been officially acknowledged by educational institutions, scientific facilities, government patent offices and the International Standards Organization. The validity of their significant contributions can not be ignored or duplicated.
Founded in 1969 by Dr. Masquelier and three associates, the world's source of Masquelier's Original OPCs has been Centre Experimentation Pharmaceutique sarl (CEP), now located in Valbonne, France. In 1994, International Nutrition Company Establishment (INC) of Vaduz, Liechtenstein, merged CEP's activities with its existing world-wide marketing and distribution, affirming its position of international exclusive source of Masquelier's Original OPC products.
INC continued CEP's use of the ISO 9002 quality certified extraction facility of Berkem S.A. (Gardonne, France), to produce Masquelier's Original OPC. Berkem is the facility that was chosen by Dr. Masquelier to utilize his extraction method and perfect it on an industrial scale. Unparalleled in extraction technique, the Berkem plant is licensed by the French Ministry of health to produce Masquelie's Original OPC for use in various French pharmaceutical preparations. This original, authentic Masquelier's Original OPC is the same compound material used in studies, human clinical trials and therapeutic application in France and throughout the world.
Primary Source obtains the original, authentic Masquelier's OPC through Integrated BioCeuticals (I.BioCeuticals). I.BioCeuticals is the exclusive North American source of Masquelier's OPC raw material from INC. Integrated BioCeuticals supplies premium quality scientifically validated, pharmaceutical-grade botanical extracts to dietary supplement, beverage, food and cosmetic manufacturers world-wide.
