Twelve months of polyphenol routine — six jars, one steady supply
Optiolex OPC Grape Seed Extract in a six-jar bundle: 360 capsules in total, so roughly a year of supply at one capsule a day. Each capsule delivers 500 mg of standardised grape seed extract with 250 mg of OPC plus vitamin C from camu-camu. A brand from Austria.
Routines that actually stick take time. Plant polyphenols like OPC don't show their point in the first few weeks of intake — they show it in the consistency afterwards. The six-jar carton is built for that: no need to re-order every couple of months.
Optiolex OPC provides 500 mg of grape seed extract per capsule with a defined 50% OPC fraction — that's 250 mg of oligomeric proanthocyanidins. They belong to the flavanol subgroup and differ from the coarser polymeric tannins responsible for the astringency in red wine, mainly in chain length: two to four catechin units. Camu-camu, coconut milk and cassava root extract frame the recipe with plant-based co-ingredients.
Optiolex is an Austrian brand with clear labelling and reduced formulations. The story of OPC research reaches back to 1948, when Jacques Masquelier first described the compound class — and grape seed extract has since become the standard source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins in food supplements.
Take 1 capsule daily with plenty of liquid.

What does a standardised extract add over plain grape seed powder?
In a standardised extract, the share of oligomeric proanthocyanidins is precisely defined — here, 50% of the extract mass. That means every capsule delivers the same amount of OPC, regardless of the harvest year or grape variety. Plain grape seed powder, by contrast, varies considerably in active-compound content from one raw material batch to the next. Standardisation buys you predictability across the whole year.
What speaks for the larger carton?
For long-term users of OPC, the appeal is consistency: one purchase, a full year of routine. Practically, each of the six jars stays sealed until it's actually opened — so the last third of the pack is just as well protected as the first.
