Six months of grape seed routine — three jars, no re-orders in between
Three jars of Optiolex OPC Grape Seed Extract with 60 capsules each — at one capsule a day, that's roughly six months of routine. Each capsule: 500 mg of standardised grape seed extract with 250 mg of OPC, plus natural vitamin C from camu-camu. A brand from Austria.
Anyone who's brought OPC into their daily routine soon notices: it's a marathon, not a sprint. Plant polyphenols come into their own through consistency over weeks and months. One 60-capsule jar is an entry point — three jars build a routine.
In a standardised grape seed extract half the mass consists of oligomeric proanthocyanidins. These short-chain building blocks of two to four linked catechin units belong to the flavanol family — chemically related to the catechins in green tea. Camu-camu brings the vitamin C; calcium carbonate is the anti-caking agent — four ingredients total.
OPC research reaches back to the late 1940s, when Jacques Masquelier first identified the compound class in the skins of peanuts. Today, grape seed extract counts as the best-documented source. This formulation uses no synthetic additives, manufactured to GMP standards.
Take 1 capsule daily, whole, with sufficient water.

How should the unopened jars be stored?
As long as the jars stay sealed, the capsules are well protected from moisture and light. Store sealed in a cool, dry place, protected from light — a cupboard in the living area is plenty. The best-before date is printed on the bottom of each jar; stored properly, quality stays stable well beyond that date.
What is the small sachet inside the bottle?
Some jars contain a small food-safe silica-gel sachet. It absorbs residual moisture and helps protect the capsules through the shelf life. When you open the jar, leave it inside — it isn't for eating. Once the jar is empty, discard it.

💬 Frequently asked questions
-
How long does the three-jar bundle last?+At one capsule a day, 180 capsules cover around six months. That keeps the routine predictable without re-ordering every few weeks.
-
Why a bundle rather than individual jars?+Plant polyphenols come into their own with consistent intake over months. A bundle simplifies that: buy once, six months handled.
-
What does the vitamin C in the formula do?+At 12 mg per capsule you cover 15% of the EU daily reference intake. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to normal energy-yielding metabolism and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
-
When is the best time to take the capsule?+One capsule daily, whole, with sufficient water. Many prefer taking it with their first meal. If your stomach is sensitive, a small snack alongside helps.
-
How should the unopened jars be stored?+Sealed, in a cool, dry place, away from light. The capsules stay well protected inside the closed jar. The best-before date is on the bottom of each jar.
