What is OPTIVIN™?
OPTIVIN™ is a proprietary blend of multiple berry extracts rich in anthocyanins derived from wild blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, wild bilberry, elderberry and raspberry. OPTIVIN™ is developed very recently to provide you with an optimal intake of antioxidant nutrients. OPTIVIN™ is the most potent first line of defense you can have to neutralize and eliminate the harmful effects of free radicals.
Why are colours important to our health?
The reason lies in the very substances that give fruits and vegetables their colors: phytochemicals. Anthocyanins have been found to possess some of the strongest physiological effects of any phytochemicals found in the colours of nature. From cancer to aging, heart disease to diabetes, anthocyanin's usefulness in protecting many body systems is becoming well established in the scientific world.
The science behind colours. Many of the pigments responsible for the color of fruits and vegetables are the best sources of antioxidants. That's why health experts are recommending us to consume at least 5 servings of 5 different coloured fruits and vegetables every day in order to stay healthy.
A wealth of scientific evidence has determined that the body's formation of unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals is the cause of over 60 degenerative diseases. When you have too few antioxidants to counteract your free radicals, significant damage can occur, leading to a variety of diseases, ranging from stroke and fibromyalgia, to sinusitis, arthritis, vision problems, and even Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.
A poor diet, cigarette smoking, environmental pollutants, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun also increase the free-radical load, creating a situation known as "oxidative stress." The same process that causes iron to rust and cut apples to turn brown is happening in every cell in our body.
It is estimated that each of the 60 trillion cells in the human body take 10,000 oxidative "hits" every day! One cigarette is said to unleash 3 trillion free radicals into the blood stream. Luckily, our body does have a defense system against these rogue "oxidant" compounds: antioxidants. Found in numerous fruits and vegetables, antioxidants literally "mop up" free radicals.
However, free radicals are generated at such a pace due to our modern lifesyles that food alone can't provide all the antioxidant ammunition our body needs. Most people do not consume the recommended 5 or more servings of 5-colour fruits and vegetables everyday to receive our antioxidant requirements.
Antioxidants such as A, C and E help neutralize free radicals but their contribution is minimal. A molecule of vitamin C or E can only deactivate one free radical at a time. When vitamin E donates hydrogen to neutralise free radicals, it turns into vitamin E radical and becomes ineffective.
Is there another alternative?
Anthocyanins are natural substances that provide pigmentation (colour) to fruits and vegetables, in particular berries, and serve as a powerful natural antioxidant. Sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis but it creates free radicals that can damage the plant. These pigments act as antioxidants for their own natural defense to prevent the plants from damage.
Similarly, anthocyanins act to promote health and prevent chronic disease by scavenging free radicals to prevent them from harming the normal components of the cell in the human body. Several studies have shown that berries, which are rich in anthocyanins, possess potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, anti-carcinogenic and anti-diabetic properties. Researchers at the United States Dept. of Agriculture, Human Nutrition Center have found that blueberries rank #1 in antioxidant activity when compared to a list of 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables.
How is OPTIVIN™ different?
More than 20 combinations of berry extracts were formulated and evaluated to determine the safest and most efficacious combination. By combining some of the most well researched berries into a highly potent formulation, Optivin™ provides a broader spectrum of antioxidants than any other individual berry extract. The different chemical profiles contained in OPTIVIN™ makes it a potent free radical quencher.

"In light of the increasing antibiotic resistance of many bacteria, the public health significance of the role of foods, such as cranberry, in preventing infections warrants further consideration. A lower number of infections means reduced use of antibiotics and lower potential risk of developing further bacterial antibiotic resistance."

What is OPTIVIN™ ?
OPTIVIN™ is a multiple-berry extract formulated and tested for optimum safety, bioavailability, antioxidant and anti-angiogenic (the ability to reduce unwanted growth of blood vessels, which may lead to varicose veins and tumor formation) activity.
There is such a biological diversity between fruits and vegetables and between humans as well that 20 individuals eating the same substance will each have a slightly different reaction to the substance. For one person, eating strawberries may boost their anti-oxidant levels for four hours; for another, its effect might last only 20 minutes.
Obtaining a mixture of anthocyanin nutrients as separate dietary supplements can also get costly and cumbersome. By combining some of the most well researched berries into a highly potent formulation, OPTIVIN™provides a broader spectrum of antioxidants than any other individual berry extract.

Why do I need OPTIVIN™ ?
Over the last several decades, scientists have discovered that the body's formation of unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals is unavoidable--every cell produces tens of thousands of them each day. When you have too few antioxidants to counteract your free radicals, significant damage can occur, leading to a variety of chronic degenerative diseases, ranging from stroke and fibromyalgia, to sinusitis, arthritis, vision problems, and even Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. A poor diet, cigarette smoking, environmental pollutants, and ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun also increase the free-radical load, creating a situation known as "oxidative stress."
Luckily, the body does have a defense system against these rogue "oxidant" compounds: antioxidants. Found in numerous fruits and vegetables, and even produced naturally by the human body, antioxidants literally "mop up" free radicals. As you age you either have more free radicals or fewer antioxidants, or a combination of these. So you need antioxidants to quench these free radicals. Antioxidants appear to make cell membranes more fluid, which, among other things, eases the flow of nutrients into and out of cells.

How does OPTIVIN™ compare with other flavonoids?
The positively charged oxygen atom in an anthocyanin molecule makes it a more potent hydrogen-donating antioxidant compared to oligomeric proanthocyanidins (Grape Seed Extract) and other flavonoids. Because of the novel structure of anthocyanin molecule, it can simultaneously neutralize several free radicals, while each molecule of better-known antioxidants like vitamins C and E can handle only one at a time. Anthocyanin's unique chemical structure also makes it several times more potent than vitamin C. Several data by different researchers also confirm that an anthocyanin molecule is 20 times more powerful than vitamin E.

Anti-angiogenesis approach to fight cancer
In what has been termed as the "fourth arm" of cancer treatment, (chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery are numbers one, two and three) angiogenesis inhibitors have been hailed as a significant advance in the long fight against cancer. Instead of aiming their firepower at tumours themselves, anti-angiogenic inhibitors do not have the harsh side effects of conventional cancer treatment.

CNN reported recently that cancer needs a growing network of blood vessels to survive. Shutting down this process called angiogenesis should arrest tumours or even destroy them. Recent clinical trials of an experimental drug, conducted at Duke University, confirmed that cutting off a tumor's blood supply could improve cancer survival.
Researchers at Ohio State University Medical Center (Columbus, Ohio), University of Kuopio (Kuopio, Finland), and Creighton University Medical Center (Omaha, Nebraska) have shown that Optivin significantly inhibits angiogenesis both in vitro and in vivo, thus offering potential benefit in the treatment of related disorders such as cancer and inflammation.
"For the past 50 years, almost all cancer therapy has been aimed at the cancer cell. But this cell can quickly become drug-resistant and conventional therapy has harsh side effects. Unlike chemotherapy, angiogenic inhibitors will be used on a long-term basis because they are non-toxic and do not generate drug resistance."

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a spiral-shaped bacterium (germ) that causes chronic inflammation (gastritis) and peptic ulcer disease (sores on the lining of the stomach or small intestine) in humans. It lives on the gastric epithelium under the mucus layer of stomach and duodenum (section of intestine just below stomach. The bacterium is thought to damage this mucus layer which is the stomach and duodenum's natural protection from gastric acids. Local inflammation caused by the bacterial infection and exposure to these acids can damage the lining of the stomach and duodenum, eventually leading to ulceration and possibly gastric cancer.
The bacterium was first discovered in 1982 by two Australian scientists Robin Warren and Barry Marshall. This bacteria is the most common cause of ulcers worldwide. Approximately half of the world's population is infected with H. pylori, which produces free radicals. The World Health Organisation has declared h'pylori as a carcinogen causing infected people to contract gastritis, stomach ulcers, colon and gastric cancer.
Right now, there is no vaccine against H. pylori. Although research suggests that infection is passed from person to person, exactly how this happens is not really known. Because transmission is not clearly understood, prevention guidelines are not yet available. With prolonged antibiotic therapy, H. pylori gastritis and peptic ulcer disease (especially ulcers in the duodenum, a portion of the small intestine) can often be cured.

Biaxin is one of the strongest antibiotic used to treat h.pylori infection, but it has been found to become antibiotic resistant. Besides killing bacteria, antibiotics also kill normal healthy cells.
H. pylori infection can be diagnosed with a blood test. Your doctor might also want you to get an x-ray or have endoscopy (an endoscope is a thin tube that carries a tiny camera) to see if you have an ulcer. A urea breath test is another way to find out if you have H. pylori infection.
Once a person is infected, the organism can live in the stomach indefinitely and may not cause clinical illness until many years later. There is a general consensus among doctors that patients should be treated if they are infected with H.pylori and have ulcers. The goal of treatment is to eradicate the bacteria, heal the ulcers, and prevent the ulcers' return.
OPTIVIN™ 's ability to inhibit the growth of H. pylori has been evaluated and backed by the first published study of various berry extracts against this bacteria.
