Pine Bark Extract OPC Powder, also known as French Maritime Pine Bark Extract, is a potent bioactive compound derived from pine bark. It contains the active ingredients, oligomeric proanthocyanidins, phenolic acids and taxifolin, proanthocyanidins B1/B2, which fight free radicals, support collagen synthesis, improve endothelial function and metabolic support to achieve anti-aging effects.
Global demand for OPC-rich extracts is surging, mainly due to the growth of the skincare and nutraceutical markets. The cosmetic OPC market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. Cost-effective, OPC-rich alternatives are becoming increasingly popular in the private label supplement and serum space.
