主要成份:

 

葡萄籽萃取物

葡萄籽萃取物是從紅葡萄的籽(而非白葡萄)萃取的精華,包含了大量原花色素(OPCs)。葡萄籽富含多酚類複合物,對人體有許多益處。

 

紅酒萃取物

紅酒萃取物富含有益的活性成分。葡萄藤、葡萄根、葡萄籽和莖都可以發現類黃酮,但葡萄皮含有最高濃度的類黃酮90年代末期,科學家注意到一個法國特有的現象。研究發現,法國某些省份的居民經常食用高脂肪食物和飲用紅酒,卻仍能維持健康。科學家歸結,是因為紅酒裡面含有的成分,幫助法國人維持多年健康。隨後的科學研究更進一步證實,在紅酒裡發現的OPC有益於維持人體健康。

 

松樹皮萃取物碧蘿芷,Pycnogenol®

碧蘿芷(Pycnogenol®)是由海岸松樹皮萃取的天然植物萃取物,這種海岸松只生長在法國西南部沿岸的加斯科尼地區。這片不受污染的天然樹林就是碧蘿芷的唯一來源。碧蘿芷是天然產品巿場上,最受廣泛研究的成份之一。發表的研究報告顯示,碧蘿芷以天然方式結合原花青素、生物類黃酮及有機酸,對身體健康有許多好處。

 

山桑萃取物

山桑萃取物取自歐洲一種普遍的矮灌木的葉與果實,這種植物與藍莓非常相似。

成熟的山桑莓果含有稱為花青素的黃酮色素。許多國外科學研究證明,山桑萃取物能讓身體健康循環,並且提升新陳代謝。

 

柑橘類萃取物(生物類黃酮)

生物類黃酮存在於某些植物,用來當做植物的光過濾器、負責吸收紫外線,保護植物避免受到傷害。

 

鉀(重碳酸鉀)

富含鉀的食物包括了新鮮蔬果,例如香蕉、柳丁、哈蜜瓜、鱷梨、生菠菜、甘藍菜和芹菜。

 

鉀是幫助維持體液平衡的必需巨量礦物質。在眾多生化和生理過程中,鉀都扮演重要的角色。鉀調節並維持體內的水平衡。鉀參與醣類代謝,並和鈉、鎂、鈣共同維持心臟、肌肉及神經的正常功能。

此產品為何與眾不同?

 

愛尚它®葡萄籽、松樹皮、紅酒萃取精華是具有等滲透特性的補充品,內含山桑、葡萄籽、紅酒、松樹皮萃取物和柑橘生物類黃酮等多種含有OPC(原花色素低聚物)的植物成份。OPC可以提供人體卓越廣泛的營養益處,其中包含了調整體質、維持身體機能、養顏美容、幫助健康和延年益壽,以及提昇新陳代謝。

 

OPC是植物複合物,也就是存在於水果、蔬菜和特定樹皮中的生物類黃酮,可以提供人體卓越廣泛的營養益處。研究顯示,原花色素的功效是維生素C和維生素E的好幾倍。愛尚它®葡萄籽、松樹皮、紅酒萃取精華含有全世界唯一等滲透形式的碧蘿芷(Pycnogenol®)。碧蘿芷是一種天然植物萃取物,萃取自法國的海岸松樹皮,是目前廣為研究的生物類黃酮。

 

等滲透表示「相等的壓力」,和身體血液、血漿和眼淚的液體化學性壓力相似。身體的體液都有特定濃度,也就是滲透壓。身體正常的滲透壓,稱之為等滲透壓,讓身體組織能維持平衡。

 

愛尚它®膳食營養補充品是以等滲透溶液方式傳輸。愛尚它產品讓營養價值不流失,有效率的獲得營養素。

 


 

常見問題:

  

1. 抗凝血劑(Warfarin)、阿斯匹靈或其他常用的藥品可以與OPC-3併用嗎?

假如您正服用處方藥品,我們建議您先諮詢醫師,主動告訴醫師您食用含生物類黃酮的食品。

 

2. 為何在食用OPC-3之後,我的胃感到不舒服(有時候會逆流)?

有些人對於愛尚它產品中的檸檬酸成分比較敏感,因而感到逆流。建議可以食用較少份量或分次使用OPC-3,或先諮詢您的醫師

 

3. 進行手術前可食用OPC-3嗎?

我們建議您先諮詢醫師。

 

4. OPC-3的成分(松樹皮、越橘和葡萄籽萃取物)都沒有殺蟲劑殘留嗎?

沒錯,所有萃取自天然植物的成分像是松樹皮、柑橘、越橘、葡萄籽和葡萄皮萃取物都透過氣相層析儀檢驗是否有殺蟲劑殘留,所以都無殺蟲劑。

 

5. 既然OPC-3如此出眾,那麼為何也需要愛尚它®ATX 配方?

食用多種不同的營養補充品很重要,因為不同的補充品在體內作用的地方不同。您可以同時使用愛尚它®ATX配方和愛尚它®葡萄籽、松樹皮、紅酒萃取精華,如此可以幫助您維持各方面的生理健康。

 

6. 什麼是OPC-3®?

OPC-3是一種天然膳食補充品,含有的活性成份是現今所稱的生物類黃酮。這些生物類黃酮的學名為oligomeric proanthocyanidins,簡稱OPC,也就是原花色素,萃取自葡萄籽、紅酒、山桑、柑橘類水果,還有取自松樹皮的碧蘿芷。這種原花色素的組合與愛尚它的等滲透傳輸系統,讓人體有效補充原花色素。愛尚它OPC-3對健康有許多好處。

 

7. 什麼是生物類黃酮?

生物類黃酮是植物性有機複合物。植物和水果擁有不同的顏色,是因為各含不同的生物類黃酮。生物類黃酮在營養學上扮演重要的角色。愈來愈多的臨床研究顯示,生物類黃酮對人體健康具有多重益處。

 

8. 食用OPC-3®安全嗎?

是的!原花色素是人類健康飲食中最寶貴的成份之一。歐洲人研究並使用原花色素已逾三十年之久。OPC-3含有純淨的原花色素,加上謹慎調配的鉀及少量糖份,組成了等滲透系統。OPC-3不含有害的化學物質、防腐劑及酒精。請依照指示飲用。

 

9. 食用愛尚它OPC-3時,可以以汽水、果汁或咖啡等飲料來代替水嗎?

可以,但我們並不建議這樣飲用。產品應該依照指示食用。為了保持產品的等滲透狀態,每瓶蓋OPC-3搭配60毫升的水空腹飲用。如果以其它飲料來混和食用,會減緩傳送速度,並可能影響吸收率。

 

10. 如何食用OPC-3

每瓶蓋的愛尚它OPC-3等滲溶液含有125毫克的生物類黃酮,其中有75毫克是原花色素。

 

愛尚它OPC-3有美味的葡萄香味,即溶於水,且為全素產品。建議空腹食用,使活性成分能更有效傳輸。OPC-3是天然營養補充品,應該持續食用。

 

11. 原花色素(OPCs)的歷史淵源為何?

1534年,法國探險家傑克.卡迪耶 (Jacques Cartier)在聖羅倫斯河率領遠征隊執行任務。由於天氣惡劣,卡迪耶和隊員必須靠著配給的鹹肉和餅乾維持生存。卡迪耶的隊員因為嚴重缺乏維生素C,所以開始出現壞血病症狀。許多隊員因此去世,隨後存活的隊員遇到一位友善的印第安原住民。他告知隊員使用松樹皮和松針煮茶飲用。他們如法炮製,結果卡迪耶和許多隊員因此恢復健康。


大約四百年後,法國波爾多大學的傑克.馬斯魁勒教授
(Prof. Jacques Masquelier)拜讀卡迪耶所細載的遠征記。他歸結松樹皮不僅含有維生素C而且也是效果類似維生素C的生物類黃酮極佳的來源。深入的研究更顯示松樹皮中含有多種原花色素聚合物。它們也存在於許多其他植物當中,其中包括葡萄籽、蔓越莓、花生皮、檸檬樹皮和柑橘皮。馬斯魁勒將松樹皮的活性成分取名為碧蘿芷® (Pycnogenol®),也就是今日科學界所講的原花色素(oligomeric proanthocyanidins complexes)或是OPC

此產品為何與眾不同?

 

愛尚它®葡萄籽、松樹皮、紅酒萃取精華是具有等滲透特性的補充品,內含山桑、葡萄籽、紅酒、松樹皮萃取物和柑橘生物類黃酮等多種含有OPC(原花色素低聚物)的植物成份。OPC可以提供人體卓越廣泛的營養益處,其中包含了調整體質、維持身體機能、養顏美容、幫助健康和延年益壽,以及提昇新陳代謝。

 

OPC是植物複合物,也就是存在於水果、蔬菜和特定樹皮中的生物類黃酮,可以提供人體卓越廣泛的營養益處。研究顯示,原花色素的功效是維生素C和維生素E的好幾倍。愛尚它®葡萄籽、松樹皮、紅酒萃取精華含有全世界唯一等滲透形式的碧蘿芷(Pycnogenol®)。碧蘿芷是一種天然植物萃取物,萃取自法國的海岸松樹皮,是目前廣為研究的生物類黃酮。

 

等滲透表示「相等的壓力」,和身體血液、血漿和眼淚的液體化學性壓力相似。身體的體液都有特定濃度,也就是滲透壓。身體正常的滲透壓,稱之為等滲透壓,讓身體組織能維持平衡。

 

愛尚它®膳食營養補充品是以等滲透溶液方式傳輸。愛尚它產品讓營養價值不流失,有效率的獲得營養素。

 



常見問題:

  

1. 抗凝血劑(Warfarin)、阿斯匹靈或其他常用的藥品可以與OPC-3併用嗎?

假如您正服用處方藥品,我們建議您先諮詢醫師,主動告訴醫師您食用含生物類黃酮的食品。

 

2. 為何在食用OPC-3之後,我的胃感到不舒服(有時候會逆流)?

有些人對於愛尚它產品中的檸檬酸成分比較敏感,因而感到逆流。建議可以食用較少份量或分次使用OPC-3,或先諮詢您的醫師

 

3. 進行手術前可食用OPC-3嗎?

我們建議您先諮詢醫師。

 

4. OPC-3的成分(松樹皮、越橘和葡萄籽萃取物)都沒有殺蟲劑殘留嗎?

沒錯,所有萃取自天然植物的成分像是松樹皮、柑橘、越橘、葡萄籽和葡萄皮萃取物都透過氣相層析儀檢驗是否有殺蟲劑殘留,所以都無殺蟲劑。

 

5. 既然OPC-3如此出眾,那麼為何也需要愛尚它®ATX 配方?

食用多種不同的營養補充品很重要,因為不同的補充品在體內作用的地方不同。您可以同時使用愛尚它®ATX配方和愛尚它®葡萄籽、松樹皮、紅酒萃取精華,如此可以幫助您維持各方面的生理健康。

 

6. 什麼是OPC-3®?

OPC-3是一種天然膳食補充品,含有的活性成份是現今所稱的生物類黃酮。這些生物類黃酮的學名為oligomeric proanthocyanidins,簡稱OPC,也就是原花色素,萃取自葡萄籽、紅酒、山桑、柑橘類水果,還有取自松樹皮的碧蘿芷。這種原花色素的組合與愛尚它的等滲透傳輸系統,讓人體有效補充原花色素。愛尚它OPC-3對健康有許多好處。

 

7. 什麼是生物類黃酮?

生物類黃酮是植物性有機複合物。植物和水果擁有不同的顏色,是因為各含不同的生物類黃酮。生物類黃酮在營養學上扮演重要的角色。愈來愈多的臨床研究顯示,生物類黃酮對人體健康具有多重益處。

 

8. 食用OPC-3®安全嗎?

是的!原花色素是人類健康飲食中最寶貴的成份之一。歐洲人研究並使用原花色素已逾三十年之久。OPC-3含有純淨的原花色素,加上謹慎調配的鉀及少量糖份,組成了等滲透系統。OPC-3不含有害的化學物質、防腐劑及酒精。請依照指示飲用。

 

9. 食用愛尚它OPC-3時,可以以汽水、果汁或咖啡等飲料來代替水嗎?

可以,但我們並不建議這樣飲用。產品應該依照指示食用。為了保持產品的等滲透狀態,每瓶蓋OPC-3搭配60毫升的水空腹飲用。如果以其它飲料來混和食用,會減緩傳送速度,並可能影響吸收率。

 

10. 如何食用OPC-3

每瓶蓋的愛尚它OPC-3等滲溶液含有125毫克的生物類黃酮,其中有75毫克是原花色素。

 

愛尚它OPC-3有美味的葡萄香味,即溶於水,且為全素產品。建議空腹食用,使活性成分能更有效傳輸。OPC-3是天然營養補充品,應該持續食用。

 

11. 原花色素(OPCs)的歷史淵源為何?

1534年,法國探險家傑克.卡迪耶 (Jacques Cartier)在聖羅倫斯河率領遠征隊執行任務。由於天氣惡劣,卡迪耶和隊員必須靠著配給的鹹肉和餅乾維持生存。卡迪耶的隊員因為嚴重缺乏維生素C,所以開始出現壞血病症狀。許多隊員因此去世,隨後存活的隊員遇到一位友善的印第安原住民。他告知隊員使用松樹皮和松針煮茶飲用。他們如法炮製,結果卡迪耶和許多隊員因此恢復健康。


大約四百年後,法國波爾多大學的傑克.馬斯魁勒教授
(Prof. Jacques Masquelier)拜讀卡迪耶所細載的遠征記。他歸結松樹皮不僅含有維生素C而且也是效果類似維生素C的生物類黃酮極佳的來源。深入的研究更顯示松樹皮中含有多種原花色素聚合物。它們也存在於許多其他植物當中,其中包括葡萄籽、蔓越莓、花生皮、檸檬樹皮和柑橘皮。馬斯魁勒將松樹皮的活性成分取名為碧蘿芷® (Pycnogenol®),也就是今日科學界所講的原花色素(oligomeric proanthocyanidins complexes)或是OPC
