What are OPCs?

They stand for Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Simply put, they are plant based nutrients for your brain. They help with brain fog, improve mental clarity, concentration and focus.


Foods with OPCs

You can find them in pine bark, blueberries, green tea, dark chocolate, grapes and curcumin.

OPCs Benefits

To explain the benefits of OPCs let’s talk about brain waves. Our brains produce different electrical activity or wave patterns depending on the mental state that we’re in. When we are actively concentrating the brain makes beta waves and when we daydream – the brain shifts into slower theta waves. OPCs may help decrease the theta waves and support the beta waves to help you concentrate. Additional OPCs’ benefits include improving brain blood flow, reducing oxidative stress and promoting brain derived neurotrophic factor BDNF (sort of like “miracle grow” for the brain).
