Promotes healthy vision
*Bilberry extract contains anthocyanidins with visual and vascular
enhancing properties. Bilberry reduces visual fatigue and improves
light to dark adjustment through its affinity for the rhodopsin-opsin
system, the pigment system which mediates both light and dark
vision and visual adaptation to dimly lit spaces. In addition, the
extract also has potent antioxidant activity, promoting the retinaOs
own enzymatic antioxidant defenses. In the vascular system the
anthocyanidin extract supports the integrity of vascular walls by
increasing vitamin C levels within cells, decreasing the permeabilizing
effect of certain proteolytic/lysosomal enzymes, stabilizing cell
membranes, and stimulating the synthesis of collagen and connective
ground substance tissue.
Bilberry offers a safe and natural way to enhance the strength and
function of the visual and vascular systems.

Stimulates immune system health
*This Elderberry extract is a uniquely concentrated, 100% pure extract
providing enhanced levels of anthocyanins, the specialized group of
flavonoids responsible for elderberryOs immune system support. One
of the most prized elderberry flavonoids is the compound quercetin.
Studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of anthocyanins
found in elderberry extract maintain healthy immune function and
promote the strength and integrity of vascular walls.
Pure Encapsulations offers an anthocyanin-rich elderberry extract,
providing powerful support for optimal functioning of the immune
system and vascular health.

Powerful antioxidant and vascular support
*Grape pips (seeds) are a superior source of unique flavonoids known
as proanthocyanidins or oligomeric procyanidin complexes (OPC).
These compounds are among the most powerful antioxidants known
in nature, as laboratory studies have shown these compounds to be
20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful
than vitamin E in antioxidant capability. Proanthocyanidins quench
several types of reactive oxygen species, chelate divalent metals
involved in catalyzing oxidative cascades, and moderate enzymes
that generate reactive oxygen. This multidimensional effect enables
excellent antioxidant protection. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins have
also been shown to inhibit collagenase, elastase and hyaluronidase,
supporting endothelial integrity. These actions have been shown to
support vascular health. As these compounds are relatives of the
anthocyanins in bilberry, they also support visual adaptation and
performance. This extract contains 92-95% oligomeric proanthocyanidins
by weight.
Grape Pip provides unique antioxidant protection and supports
vascular health.

Concentrated anthocyanin formula
*OptiBerry. provides highly bioactive anthocyanins, including malvidin,
cyanidin, delphinidin, and petunidin in a concentrated, standardized
blend of blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, bilberry, elderberry, and
raspberry fruit and seed extracts. Anthocyanins are the primary
components that give many fruits and vegetables their rich pigment,
as well as provide them with antioxidant protection. Multiple studies
have demonstrated the antioxidant ability of berry extracts to promote
healthy skin, cognitive and neuronal function, cardiovascular health
and cellular function. Research performed at the Ohio State University
Medical Center reported that OptiBerry helped to support healthy skin
by maintaining healthy immune mediator activity in human
keratinocytes. Furthermore, the beneficial effects produced in this
study by OptiBerry were not shared by the other antioxidants tested,
including alpha-tocopherol or grape seed proanthocyanidin extract.
Another study performed at the same center suggested that OptiBerry
enhanced cellular and vascular support. A number of studies on the
health benefits of berries and their extracts were conducted at the
Tufts University USDA Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center
on Aging. One clinical trial involving elderly women reported that
consumption of strawberries, containing a high level of antioxidant
phenolic compounds, helped support healthy serum antioxidant
capacity. An animal study demonstrated through a series of tests that
the high antioxidant activity of berry extracts, such as strawberry and
blueberry, may defend against age-related neuronal and cognitive
decline. Researchers also reported that elderberry anthocyanins were
incorporated into the cellular membrane and cytosol of endothelial
cells and provided protection against oxidative stress. Through the
use of an accelerated neuronal aging model, another study showed
that powerful antioxidants such as blueberry and strawberry extracts
provide protective support for central nervous system (CNS) function.
Research has also reported that anthocyanins support healthy cardiovascular
function.
OptiBerryTM provides enhanced antioxidant protection with a bioactive
ratio of powerful anthocyanins that help to support healthy cardiovascular,
skin, cellular and cognitive function.

Pine bark extract with antioxidant properties
*OPycnogenolO originally denoted all proanthocyanidin extracts,
regardless of source. However, it now refers specifically to maritime
pine bark. The mixture of proanthocyanidins in pine bark supports
vascular endothelial integrity by stabilizing collagenous membranes.
It also promotes vascular function by modulating nitric oxide
levels. In addition to facilitating vitamin C regeneration and
preserving vitamin E, pycnogenol is a potent hydroxyl and
superoxide radical scavenger. Collectively, these actions promote
the health of blood vessels. PycnogenolN contains a minimum of
65-75% proanthocyanidins by weight.
Pycnogenol® promotes vascular health and provides powerful
antioxidant support.
