Grape seed and pine bark extracts are bioflavanols known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC's) and are often referred to as Pycnogenols. OPC's are 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times more potent than vitamin C as free radical scavengers. OPC has been documented to help with circulatory disorders, cerebral failure, cardiovascular problems, allergies, inflammation, and aging. A Quick Read Health Book.

A remarkable recovery from a life-threatening illness inspired her to begin a serious study of nutrition and other factors that promote health and healing.

Realizing this, Tonita decided to distill complex information from various sources into easy-to-read booklets that could be read quickly.
