OPC : HOPE FOR DIABETICS

I first learned about OPC from my sister Karen. You may be asking yourself , "WHAT IS OPC ?????  AND WHY WOULD I EVER WANT OR NEED IT!!!!!!"  These were the first thoughts that came into my head.  Let me answer these two questions for you.........

#1  What is Isotonix OPC-3®?
Isotonix OPC-3 is a dietary supplement that bears some of the most powerful bioflavonoids currently known to research scientists. These bioflavonoids are scientifically termed oligomeric proanthocyanidins, commonly abbreviated OPCs. The purest and best-researched OPCs chosen for OPC-3 are prepared from grape seed, red wine, bilberries, Pycnogenol from pine bark and citrus fruit. This combination of powerful OPCs is unique to OPC-3, as is the Isotonix® delivery system, which enables rapid and highly efficient absorption of the OPCs. Isotonix OPC-3 has been shown to provide a variety of health benefits including, but not limited to, combating free radicals, demonstrating anti-inflammatory activity, helping maintain healthy cholesterol levels, helping maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins, helping maintain joint flexibility, helping promote/support cardiovascular health, helping reduce mild menstrual cramping, helping support visual health/visual acuity, scavenging free radicals, promoting healthy blood vessel dilation, promoting healthy nitric oxide levels, supporting a healthy complexion, supporting healthy blood glucose levels, supporting healthy platelet activity and supporting healthy sperm quality.






#2  Why did I want to take Isotonix OPC-3®?
I'm a diabetic. I had exhausted the oral diabetic medicines that were available and wanted to find some alternatives to having to take insulin shots.   When I first started using it my blood sugars were very high, upper 200's.  After a couple of weeks of taking 4 doses a day- 2 in morning, 2 at night, my blood sugars dropped to about 140.  WOW!!! I was very PLEASED with this!!
