Does OPC also lower cholesterol ?
OPC prevents the fixation of cholesterol to the elastin in the blood vessels. Thus, OPC inhibits cholesterol deposits in the vascular wall. Moreover, OPC has a vitamin C sparing effect. Vitamin C helps the body to get rid of an excess of cholesterol, so indirectly OPC helps the body to monitor cholesterol levels. Moreover, since OPC is an antioxidant, OPC inhibits the formation of the bad type of cholesterol (LDL) that easily fixes itself to the vascular wall.
