Isotonix OPC-3:an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine and pine bark extracts, and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol® in the world. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree and the most clinically researched and potent bioflavonoid.*
Isotonic, which means “same pressure,” bears the same chemical resemblance of the body’s blood, plasma and tears. All fluids in the body have a certain concentration, referred to as osmotic pressure. The body’s common osmotic pressure, which is isotonic, allows a consistent maintenance of body tissues. In order for a substance to be absorbed and used in the body’s metabolism, it must be transported in an isotonic state.
Some of the benefits of OPC-3 are:
Combats free radicals
Demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity
Helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels
Helps maintain healthy circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins
Helps maintain joint flexibility
Helps promote cardiovascular health
Helps reduce mild menstrual cramping and abdominal pain
Helps support visual health/visual acuity

A new study has found that being happy and having a positive outlook on life may help to prevent heart disease.According to Reuters, researchers in Canada followed 1,739 men and women over a 10 year period. Trained nurses measured the participants heart disease risk along with their negative emotions such as depression, hostility and anxiety and their positive emotions such as joy, happiness, excitement, enthusiasm and contentment.
The researchers then ranked their positive emotions, known as "positive affect," across five levels ranging from "none" to "extreme" and found that for each rank the risk of heart disease decreased by 22 percent.
Lead researcher Karina Davidson of Columbia University Medical Center said the findings suggest that enhancing peoples’ positive emotions could help prevent heart disease. She added that more clinical trials are needed to support her study’s results.
"We also found that if someone who was usually positive had some depressive symptoms at the time of the survey, this did not affect their overall lower risk of heart disease," she said.Researchers explained the possible link between happiness and increased heart health by pointing out that happier people have longer periods of rest or relaxation and are able to quickly recover from stressful situations.
Happiness - or even just pretending to be happy - is good for your heart, researchers find
BY Jacob E. Osterhout
Laugh a little! Even fake giggles are good for your heart, researchers found.
Don't worry, be happy - or just fake it.
A new study published in the European Heart Journal shows that happiness, even if feigned, may decrease the risk of heart attacks.
According to the AP, the researchers at Columbia University graded the happiness levels of close to 1,700 adults in Canada who had no heart problems in 1995.
They then went back after ten years and examined the 145 people who developed cardiac problems and discovered that they were not as happy as the subjects who were still healthy.
Using a five-point scale, researchers measured their subjects' happiness, adjusting their results to take into account age, gender and smoking.
They discovered that for every point on the happiness scale, the subjects were 22 percent less likely to experience heart problems.
Even if subjects weren't really happy, feigning a positive outlook still proved beneficial to their hearts.
"If you aren't naturally a happy person, just try acting like one," Dr. Karina Davidson, the studies lead author, told the AP. "It could help your heart."
