Hi
I've taken OPC (Isotonics OPC-3) for a few years. It has grapeseed, red wine, pine bark/ pycnogenol, bilberry, & citrus extracts. I love how I feel on it, but I'm wondering if maybe there is some contraindication??
OPC is suggested for Autoimmune Infertility per Randine Lewis (IF cure book), but so is wheatgrass.... I have gluten/wheat allergies, so I can't take wheatgrass. Maybe there is some reason OPC is contraindicated for some? Maybe they mask some problem, or some other unknown reason....I have been having irregular cycles since using OPC (but it could be b/c of MC, ttc drugs, etc....). It seems others, like Nancy, may be having problems with it too...
I recently added Resveratrol (red wine extract) & I love it even more than OPC: more steady energy, my few grey hairs are turning brown, I look & feel younger, my muscles are never achy, my skin looks great, my hair is thicker, etc....So I thought it must be good for ttc.....but who knows, since when my cycles were perfect, I often felt less perky- so maybe its focusing my energy to the wrong areas- and not my ovaries ...
I can't remember names, but I think someone here credited Resveratrol for her pregnancy recently. OPCs are not talked about as much...Just wondering what you guys think...
