Proanthocyanidins?
Proanthocyanidins, also known as OPC’s, are a class of bioflavonoids which possess antioxidant properties.
Proanthocyanidins can be found in the leaves, fruits and nuts of many plant species. Researchers have found that higher concentrations of OPC’s are found in pine bark.
What are antioxidants?
Antioxidants play an important role in helping to maintain healthy cells in the body. They help to neutralize free-radicals, which are chemicals that damage healthy cells in the body.
Why choose Tru Pine?
After years of research, Canadian scientists have traced and identified the original Canadian pine tree species used by the Native people of Canada for more than 475 years. The pine bark selected to produce Tru-Pine is harvested during timber production in Canada’s virgin forests. We only select premium quality pine bark from pine trees aged between 10-20 yrs to ensure that the highest concentrations of Proanthocyanidins are extracted. Tru-Pine is manufactured without the use of solvents. And finally our proprietary extract process is standardized and retains 95% proanthocyanidins (OPC’s).
