Antioxidants keep free radicals in check by either
Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that contain an unpaired electron and are therefore unstable and highly reactive.
In a process called oxidation, free radicals steal electrons from other compounds — fats, protein, cell membranes, and even DNA; altering the structure of the affected molecule.
Free radicals in small and controlled quantities may not be a major concern. However, an excessive amount in your body can lead to premature ageing.
Harmful blue light (from mobile devices, laptop, TV) induces free radical production, penetrating both eyes and skin.
Stress causes hormonal changes, which in turn produces free radicals.
Sun exposure generates free radicals that age the skin, causing roughness and wrinkles.
Processed food contains oxidised fats, increasing free radicals in our body.
Tobacco smoke contains many toxic chemicals and free radicals — one puff of cigarette causes up to 1 quadrillion free radicals.
Alcohol consumption produces free radicals that impair the body's normal defences.
Excessive glucose stimulates the production of free radicals in our body.
Haze carries a bulk of free radicals like carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, and nitrogen dioxide.
Skin inflammation (i.e. acne) produces free radicals. Our skin naturally produces hydrogen peroxide to attack the inflammation.
Cells naturally produce free radicals as a by-product of metabolism.
Free radicals are also associated with chronic and degenerative illnesses such as autoimmune disorder, cataract, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and many others. Luckily for us, the human body has a defence system of antioxidants to fight against free radical damage.
Plant-based foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains are rich sources of naturally occurring antioxidants. Other well-known antioxidants include Beta-carotene, Lutein, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Lycopene and Selenium.

Pine Bark Extract is a super antioxidant that is loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds (OPCs). OPCs are powerful substances that cannot be manufactured synthetically. The molecules are found mainly in the woody part of plants.

Pine bark extract offers many amazing benefits and there are currently many available in the market. However, not all are made the same, and there's only one original.
THE ORIGINAL SINCE 1953
LAC MASQUELIER's® French Pine Bark Extract with Original OPCs is the world’s first, widely researched and scientifically proven OPC that combines a unique and rich complex of oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds and essential phytonutrients.
Discovered decades ago by Professor Jack Masquelier, he identified and extracted the source of effective capillary strengthening in the husk of French pine trees. The precise extract known as Flavan® is still considered so potent that it continues to be produced under strict control by the French Ministry of Health for its remarkable health benefits.
