In the 1500's a French explorer and his crew were on an exhibition in Canada when they were nearly wiped out by scurvy. Local Native Indians gave them a tea brewed from the bark and needles of the Maritime Pine Tree and it saved the crew. The benefits from this wonderful tree was researched in later times and it was found to contain Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPC).

OPC's are a set of bioflavonoid complexes that perform as free radical scavengers in the human body. One major benefit of the OPC's is their extreme potency as antioxidants in the body.

Most notably Proanthocyanidin's are found in pine bark, grape seed and grape skin, however, bilberry, cranberry, black currant, green tea, black tea, and other plants also contain these flavonoids.

OPC's are primarily known for their antioxidant activity. However, these compounds have also been reported to demonstrate a multitude of positive benefits. Supplementing with oligomeric proanthocyanidins may help avert many disorders and boost general health.
