2 The daily requirement of OPC

The recommended daily intake of OPC is between 150 - 500 mg. The daily amount depends on whether OPC is used only as a preventive measure or also in case of diseases. In general, the daily requirement of OPC depends on various factors. These include age, gender, body weight, height and especially the general metabolic situation.

3 Where can OPC be found?

OPC can be found in a variety of foods. These include blueberries, cranberries, apples, peanuts, tea and red wine. Especially the skin of apples contains a lot of OPC. For this reason, it is worth buying organic apples, as the skin is untreated and can be eaten. For OPC from grape seeds, grape seed oil and grape seed extract are worthwhile.

4. OPC in the form of food supplements

OPC is commercially available in the form of dietary supplements. It comes in the form of OPC capsules and OPC tablets. Both forms are easy to use and enter the circulation quickly. However, OPC tablets are sold in pharmacies, which in many cases contain artificial additives or are manufactured abroad. OPC capsules often contain only the active ingredient in a vegetable cellulose shell and can therefore be produced without fillers. OPC capsules or OPC tablets should be taken with sufficient liquid (for example water or juice). It does not matter whether iodine is taken before or after meals. However, if you have a sensitive stomach and cannot take OPC tablets or OPC capsules on an empty stomach, you should eat something beforehand and take the supplements afterwards. In general, it should always be ensured that the product was produced in Germany in order to guarantee a consistently high preparation quality. If you buy a preparation from Germany, you can be sure that the product was also produced safely and has a high quality.
