PROPRIETARY OPC AND ANTIOXIDANT BLEND
The Antioxidant Process

To appreciate the benefits of antioxidants, you must first understand the oxidative process. Have you ever seen a bright red wagon oxidize and eventually rust? This oxidative process can also be found inside the human body. The body oxygenates the blood with every breath. However, if kept unchecked this process carries with it some negative side effects. Studies have shown that free radicals (a negative by-product of the oxidative process) are involved in the breaking down of collagen and elastin, encourage histamine production, inhibit circulation, exacerbate inflammation, and may cause many other disorders.

Proanthocyanidins (sometimes called OPCs) are the most efficient natural way to kill free radicals. By doing this, they reduce oxidative damage to vital tissues. Laboratory studies have found proanthocyanidins to be 50 times more potent than Vitamin E and 20 times more potent than Vitamin C (as an antioxidant). Studies indicate OPCs may produce some of the following nutritional benefits:

Strengthen collagen*
Assist in repairing inflamed tissue*
Offer nutritional support for eyesight and retinopathy*
Provide nutritional assistance for problems associated with premenstrual syndrome*
Relieve symptoms of arthritis*
Improve symptoms of varicose veins*
Offer nutritional support against hay fever and asthma*
Advanced Circulatory Support
Advanced Cardiovascular Support

RiteStart’s Proprietary OPC Blend contains pure, premium grade, grape seed and pinebark extract of the highest quality. This extract is guaranteed to contain at least 95% OPCs, the industry standard for comparing proanthocyanidin extracts.

In addition to standardized grape seed and pine bark extracts, RiteStart™ contains other powerful antioxidants and synergistic ingredients that help protect the body from the effects of free radicals such as:

Alpha Lipoic Acid – powerful antioxidant which protects mitochondria, the energy producing components of cells, as well as protecting DNA. ALA is felt to increase the effectiveness of insulin and therefore help regulate glucose levels.*

Coenzyme Q10 – a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to be beneficial to the cardiovascular system.*

Lutien – another powerful antioxidant shown to help support eye health and protect against macular degeneration.*

Recent scientific findings have established that the combination of these components acts synergistically, such that each component is enhanced in the presence of the others.
