The Enhanced OPC Factor is an upgraded version of the original OPC Factor, which contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), powerful antioxidants from grape seeds and pine bark, known for boosting energy levels and supporting overall health (The Effect of OPC Factor™ on Energy Levels). The new formulation includes:
- Better stick packs for improved convenience.
- Improved B-12 converted to methylcobalamin, a more bioavailable form essential for energy and neurological health.
- 46% more of key ingredients, likely enhancing the antioxidant or active compound concentration.
- Name brand Sensoril ashwagandha (Withania somnifera), an adaptogenic herb with antioxidant properties, stress-relief, and cognitive benefits confirmed by clinical studies (Sensoril® Ashwagandha).
- No reported adverse side-effects

oligomeric procyanidin complex
A preparation containing plant-derived polyphenolic bioflavonoids composed of multimers (dimers, trimers, or higher order polymers) of the flavan-3-ol-based monomers catechin and epicatechin that are extracted from sources rich in these chemicals (such as grape seeds, grape skin and pine bark), with potential anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-cancer and protective activities. Upon oral administration of oligomeric procyanidin complex (OPC), the polyphenols exert anti-oxidant activity by scavenging free radicals, which prevents both the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), particularly nitrous oxide (NO), and DNA damage. OPC also inhibits chemical-induced lipid peroxidation. In addition, OPC reduces the production of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), decreases AGE accumulation in tissues, and inhibits the progression of AGE/receptor for AGE (RAGE)-mediated inflammatory transduction pathways, which inhibits the activation of pro-inflammatory transcriptional regulators, and prevents the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines/chemokines. This ultimately prevents inflammatory-driven damage to end organs and may reduce inflammation-induced cancer formation and progression. In addition, OPC inhibits the activity of a variety of enzymes, including xanthine oxidase, collagenase, elastase, hyaluronidase and beta-glucuronidase.
