Unfortunately,
the marketplace is full of imitations, various “extracts”
and derivative forms of Dr. Jack Masquelier’s scientifically proven
and patented complex.

Consumers need to know that the marketplace is full of imitations, offshoots
and derivatives of scientifically proven and patented natural products.
Those who are looking for a product that will produce the proven results
and not just the "claimed" or "implied" results, want
the authentic product that was used in the actual scientific research.
This is especially important when you buy a product labeled as "grape
seed extract" or "pine bark extract."
"OPC" and "Proanthocyanidins"
are
Unreliable Names in the Marketplace
When reading product labels, magazine articles and many popular books,
the terms "OPC" and "proanthocyanidins" should be
considered as generic words and not scientific whatsoever. In most cases,
the terms are used as equivalent to "grape seed extract" or
"pine bark extract" for commercial interests—or by mistake—and
their differences have truly lost all scientific meaning. For example,
independent testing
found that a
leading American brand of grape seed extract, which is labeled as containing
"OPCs," contained no active OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins)—the
active ingredient that gave "grape seed extract" it's fame.
(It's important to note that the same tests
demonstrated that Flavay™ scores the highest as an antioxidant and
as a free radical scavenger, which is precisely the free radical scavenging
effect that Dr. Masquelier invented and claimed in U.S. Patent 4,698,360.)
Unfortunately, many companies have used Dr. Jack Masquelier’s name
and research in unauthorized ways to promote illegitimate extracts. There
are many, many suppliers of grape seed and pine bark extracts who use
various and unproven manufacturing processes, which leads to widespread
differences in products labeled at "grape seed extract" or "pine
bark extract" in the marketplace. Together with widespread confusion
and misunderstanding as to the differences between vague "extracts"
and their active principles, it's practically impossible for retailers
and consumers to distinguish inferior products from quality ones.
Flavay™ is the Name You Can Trust
Flavay™ is the genuine antioxidant that Dr. Jack Masquelier used
in the actual experiments by which he established and patented the radical
scavenger effect. Flavay™ is the precisely defined active polyphenol
complex patented and perfected by the inventor, Dr. Masquelier, validated
by the French Ministry of Health and documented by a library of research
consisting of many patents and hundreds of scientific papers, articles,
doctorate theses, lectures and presentations. For quality, consistency,
bioavailability and safety, consumers may rely upon Flavay.
