碧容健®
碧容健®是由海岸松樹皮提取的植物萃取物；海岸松樹只生長在法國西南部沿岸的加斯科尼地區。這不受污染的天然環境是海岸松樹的唯一來源。碧容健®是天然產品巿場上受到最廣泛研究的成份之一。獲發表的研究顯示，碧容健®對人體有多項益處，抗氧化功效尤其出眾。松樹皮萃取物含有原花色素(OPC)、生物類黃酮和有基酸。

葡萄籽萃取物
葡萄籽萃取物一般提取自紅葡萄（而非白葡萄）的籽，含有大量稱為原花色素(OPC)的複合物，以及具抗氧化功效的多酚類。葡萄籽萃取物提供抗氧化防護，並或有助維持健康血液循環。

歐洲藍莓萃取物
歐洲藍莓萃取物提取自歐洲一種普遍矮灌木的果實；這種植物與藍莓非常近似。成熟的莓類萃取物含有稱為花青素的黃酮類色素，它們具有抗氧化功效。研究顯示，歐洲藍莓萃取物或有助維持健康血液循環。

柑橘生物類黃酮萃取物
生物類黃酮是部份植物含有的抗氧化物，是吸收紫外線輻射的光線過濾器，保護植物裡的DNA和其他重要的大分子。研究發現，生物類黃酮或有助維持健康血液循環。

紅酒萃取物
紅酒萃取物提取自葡萄，提供高抗氧化性能，可作為自由基清除劑，亦或有助維持健康血液循環。

OPC是甚麼？
OPC-3軟糖含有生物類黃酮，即生物活性植物複合物。這些生物類黃酮亦稱為原花色素，或簡稱OPC。獲得最廣泛研究的部份OPC包括葡萄籽、紅酒、葡萄皮、歐洲藍莓、柑橘類和松樹皮萃取物（碧容健®）。

OPC-3軟糖含有任何致敏原嗎？
OPC-3軟糖是素食產品，不含小麥、大豆、酵母、麩質、人造調味料、澱粉、鹽、防腐劑或奶類。

OPC-3軟糖的食用份量是多少？
每天食用一(1)粒，或按照醫護人員指示食用。

貯存OPC-3軟糖的最佳方法是甚麼？
把OPC-3軟糖放在密封的袋中。把密封袋貯存於陰涼、乾燥處，如雪櫃或防潮箱內。

食用OPC-3軟糖安全嗎？
OPC-3軟糖安全及不含有害化學物質、防腐劑和酒精。本產品在美國製造，並於經美國食品及藥物管理局檢測的設備生產，符合良好生產規範。顧客對本產品的質量和安全可絕對有信心。
