Superior Absorption for Maximum Benefits
Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are the powerful, health-promoting nutrients in grape seed extract.* Researchers have found that grape seed extract is one of the most promising botanical extracts in the world for a diverse array of health applications.
Clinical OPC features French grape seed extract VX1, which is backed by 6 groundbreaking scientific studies and provides a strong ORAC value of 2,103,300 per 100 grams. This unique extract is never adulterated and is standardized for only small size OPCs to better ensure absorption.
Clinical OPC Extra Strength supplies only low molecular weight, tannin-free OPCs for high absorbability.
Many other grape seed extracts include high levels of tannins—OPCs with a high molecular weight—which have limited absorption and few health benefits.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same French grape seed extract as the regular Clinical OPC?
Why is being "tannin-free" so important?
Tannins are a form of proanthocyanidin (another OPC) found in grape seeds, stems, and skin. As a result, they are found in many grape seed extracts. However, they have a high molecular weight (large size), and can't be absorbed. Clinical OPC Extra Strength provides only low-molecular weight OPCs, including a complex mixture of flavanolic monomers (catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate) and flavanolic oligomers (dimers, trimers and tetramers) for higher absorbability.
