Four Famous Phenols: OPCs, Quercitin, Catechin, and Resveratrol
Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are super rich in the anthocyanin bioflavonoid group of phytonutrients. Found abundantly in berries, the very richest sources are Grape Seed and pine bark extracts. These have been shown to be powerful antioxidants that are significantly more active than vitamins C and E, and are thought to protect against carcinogenic changes (Journal of Clinical Oncology 2000, No 18, pp. 668-83).
Quercetin is the major representative of the antioxidant flavinol group, which group is particularly known for preventing the oxidation of low density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol). Quercitin is found in fruits and vegetables, most notably onions and green apple skins. That is the major reason why onions and green apples help prevent hardening of the arteries and the heart attacks and strokes that arteriosclerosis causes (Biomedical Pharmacotherapy 1997, No 51, pp 305-310). Quercetin has also consistently demonstrated a potent anti-tumor
effect. (Cancer Chemotherapy and Pharmacology,1991, No 8, pp. 255-8). Like all polyphenols, quercetin is hard to absorb. Fortunately, food scientists (Hollman et al, BJN 2004, 91-841-847) have substantiated that the isoquercetin form, quercetin 3-glucoside, is much more bioavailable.
Green tea is rich in antioxidant polyphenols that are thought to be the most active ingredient as pertains to green tea’s much purported benefits of preventing cancer, heart disease, osteoarthritis, gum disease and even tooth decay. The benefits of these green tea flavonoid catechins polyphenols for the heart are greater than that of red wine, without the alcohol! (There is a 10% increase in breast cancer for every alcoholic beverage consumed on a daily basis according to authors Smith, Warner SA, et al in Alcohol and Breast Cancer in Women: A Pooled Analysis of Cohort Studies, JAMA, 1998, Vol 7, pp. 535-40. Of interest white tea has twice the polyphenols of green tea!
Red wines are more protective of heart disease than white wines because of
the phytonutrient, resveratrol, which gives dark grapes their deep red/blue color.
“Resveratrol (a stilbene polyphenol found in grape skin extracts and the herb polygonum
cuspidatum) is able to inhibit the initiation and promotion of tumors, and
cause pre-cancerous cells to return to normal.” (Science, 1997, Vol 275, No5297, pp.
218-220). By extracting the resveratrol as a phytonutrient supplement, one can
get the antioxidant immune enhancing and heart protecting benefits of red wine,
dark grapes and grape juice without all the alcohol and sugar.
In August of 2003 researchers at Harvard Medical School shocked the scientific
community when they announced the results of their work on polyphenols. Mice,
rats, worms, flies, and yeast all live longer on a low-calorie diet. For the first time
scientists have found a way to duplicate the benefits of restricted calories in yeast
with a group of compounds found in red wine and vegetables. These polyphenol
compounds extended yeast life span by up to 80 percent! The most potent molecule
in the study was resveratrol.
