Are any harmful solvents used?
To extract OPC’s on a large scale, water is used as well as one organic solvent. During the process. the solvent is removed to a level far below required limits for health standards. Masquelier’s OPC is also cleared of any by-products of the solvent during the process. Solvent residues are removed to minute levels of no more than 1 to 5 parts per million (almost undetectable) that have no health consequences whatsoever.
