For the treatment of ADHD, there are two primary sources of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins that have been formulated. Pycnogenol is the most popular variation and is derived from the bark of the French Maritime Pine Tree. The pine bark formulation includes approximately an 80% - 85% concentration of OPCs. The second widely available formulation is derived from grape seeds and provides a concentration of approximately 90% to 95% of OPCs. Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins have been widely studied and tested for more than 50 years and are widely used in Europe for heart disease, circulatory improvement, ADHD, and cell aging reversal support. The most widely documented benefit of Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins is their use as an antioxidant where they protect our cells from free radicals. OPCs are 20 to 50 times more powerful as an antioxidant than either Vitamin E or Vitamin C. Free radicals are normally produced by our metabolism or as a result of our bodies' exposure to harmful elements. Free radicals are destructive to cell membranes, collagen and other connective tissues, and are considered responsible for many threatening conditions, including heart disease, arthritis and cancer. In the treatment of ADHD, Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins work to prevent and reduce free radical damage in the brain and nerve tissue. It has also been theorized that OPCs may support and improve the function of key neurotransmitters in the brain, allowing optimal communication among and between the brain cells and the nervous system. Pycnogenol is the most widely know formulation of OPCs recommended for ADHD. Click here for more information on Pycnogenol. Nature's Plan for ADD Success
