MASQUELIER’s ® Original OPCs is derived from the seeds of Vitis vinifera L. grapes grown in vineyards in France. The seeds are sourced from specific pulp processing facilities that specialise in separating seeds from the pulp (marc) left over once grapes have been pressed. This occurs under strict French and EU agricultural, food and wine making laws and regulations where specifically identified geographical regions are officially designated depending on the commercial classification of specific wines.
DNA identification of the harvested seeds, as well as meticulous application of the exact extraction method for which Professor Masquelier himself laid the foundations, are essential steps in creating MASQUELIER’s® Original OPCs.

The powerful antioxidants found in MASQUELIER’s® Original OPCs ingredients helps neutralize excess free radicals in the body. Their capacity to scavenge free radicals is far greater than Vitamin C, and E can help reduce free radical-induced reactions. Ex vivo studies also indicate the active ingredients in MASQUELIER’s® Original OPCs reduce the oxidation of lipids and protect cell membranes and LDL from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Collagen is an extracellular protein that forms strong, insoluble fibers and serves as connective tissue between cells. Research shows that MASQUELIER’s® Original OPCs reinforce collagen in vivo and inhibit several enzymes involved in the degradation of collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid – the main structural components of the extravascular matrix.
Every organ, muscle and tissue in our bodies are fed and powered by nutrients from blood – delivered by the microvascular system. Scientific research shows that MASQUELIER’s® Original OPCs reduce capillary fragility associated with aging and support the strength and integrity of blood vessels, thereby promoting circulatory function.
