Megapack OPC — 600 capsules for the long haul
Megapack with ten jars of Optiolex OPC Grape Seed Extract — 600 capsules in total. At one capsule per day, that's roughly twenty months of supply. Each capsule: 500 mg of grape seed extract with 250 mg of OPC and vitamin C from camu-camu. A brand from Austria.
Some bulk packs are a bet — others are a decision. If you've been using OPC as a fixed building block of your routine for years, you know the small friction of ongoing re-orders. Ten jars buy peace: one purchase, roughly a year and a half of not having to think about it.
Each capsule contains 500 mg of standardised grape seed extract — with a defined 50% share of oligomeric proanthocyanidins. That's 250 mg of OPC: short catechin chains of two to four units. Natural vitamin C from camu-camu rounds the formula out; coconut milk and cassava root extract are the plant-based co-ingredients.
OPC research goes back to French scientist Jacques Masquelier, who first isolated the compound class in the late 1940s. Today grape seed extract counts as the standard plant source in food supplements. Optiolex is the Austrian brand behind this formulation — with a reduced recipe and clear labelling.
Take 1 capsule daily with plenty of liquid.

What does the best-before date mean on such a large pack?
The best-before date is printed on the bottom of each individual jar. It marks a minimum, not a hard expiry: stored properly — dry, away from light, not above room temperature — quality remains stable well beyond it. All ten jars are individually sealed; each one only starts its "shelf-life clock" when you actually open it.
What does "standardised extract" mean?
The OPC content in the extract is defined (50%), not left to chance. So every capsule delivers exactly 250 mg of OPC for 500 mg of grape seed extract — regardless of the harvest year of the grapes or the precise grape variety. Standardisation is what makes different batches comparable.
⚠️ Mandatory notices: Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the stated recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children.
📦 Storage & best-before: Store in a dry place, not above room temperature. Best-before date / lot number: see bottom of each jar.
