Supplements For Chronic Pain

You may be having trouble, like many, consuming 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily. Do you have intestinal problems that limit how many servings a day you can eat before distress sets in? If you do, there is good news. Supplements in stores today have bioflavenoids which are found in fruits and veges. These molecules have a positive effect on your health and minimize inflammation in your system. One great supplement for fighting your inflammation is called OPC or oligomeric procyanodins. These big molecules are found in a variety of foods including; wine, grapes, grape seeds and in varietys of pine bark.

Extracts of these natural substances have up to 50 times more anti-oxidant activity than vitamin C to neutralize free oxygen radicals in your body.

So what is a free oxygen radical? They are molecules that your system produces when your body comes in contact with toxins in the air such as UV rays, smoke or other contaminants, or during standard metabolism processes. These molecules have an unpaired electron within them and can ruin your tissues, skin, joints, brain, intestinal system, etc. This unpaired electron acts as a powerful irritant to the body as it looks throughout your system to locate other electrons to pair up with and generate a balanced molecule. This irritant causes inflammation in your body.

If you have extreeme inflammation and pain or if you are challenged in getting fruits and vegetables into you daily diet , then you need a quality supplement rich in OPCs.
