Water, Butanol, and Acetone are often used in the extraction process of OPCs, but evaporate before the process is complete. OPCs are 100% natural.

Research has shown that OPCs are strong antioxidants and can greatly increase the effectiveness of Vitamins E and C. No one is immune to the damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress. Therefore, everyone can benefit from OPCs.

Once the coconut meat is transported to the local oil factory it is crushed, heated and pressed. Only one single pressing is performed. No chemicals are used during the entire production and the oil is never mixed with a lesser quality second pressed oil. This traditional process is a unique particularity of the local Tahiti oil plant.

The wool has been cleaned with a mild soap and water solution and rinsed in hydrogen peroxide. No chemicals have been added.

No! OPC's do not cure anything... What they do is help the body to neutralize the invasion of free-radicals. Your body has the amazing ability to heal itself, if it is functioning properly. When free-radicals are controlled, the body can function the way it was meant to... and will heal itself.

No, take one or the other and be sure to be off any steroids for at least 4 to 6 weeks before taking any OTC supplements.

OPC contains real antioxidant protection based upon 50 years of research by Dr. Jack Masquelier and Berkem Laboratories in Southern France. The main ingredient, OPCs, extracted from grape seeds and pine bark, provides superior antioxidant protection that is 50 times more powerful than vitamin E and 20 times more powerful than vitamin C.

OPC stands for OLE for Process Control. (OLE is Object Linking & Embedding, a Microsoft technology for connecting and communicating with various data objects.) It is an open standard designed to provide a bridge between Microsoft Windows applications and process control hardware, allowing a software program such as EnergyWitness to extract data from each control and monitoring point within your BAS. Visit the Matrikon (one of our partners), Web site for more on OPC.

Chromated copper arsenate (CCA) for years was the most commonly used chemical to give wood decay resistance, for wood intended for use in construction. Other preservatives used are amine copper quat (ACQ), copper boron azole, copper azole (CA), acid copper chromate and copper citrate. An alternate category of chemicals are borate-based. Sodium borate and zinc borate are two available compounds. CCA, ACQ,CA and sodium borate are applied by pressure treatment.

All of the components in the MagicTan tanning solution have been used in cosmetics and food products for decades. These components are approved for use on the skin and are considered safe.

No chemicals are used in vapor steam cleaning. We do need to stress that we still advise using a natural surfactant on heavily soiled and stained carpeting. Also some bathrooms may need some extra surfactant help. Vapor steam cleaning is best used in tiling bath surrounds not fiber glass. Our testing of residential vapor steam cleaners showed us that you will find steam alone will not be sufficient for these kinds of cleaning challenges.

No. All filters contain natural elements such as salt, resin beads and carbon sediment and are environmentally safe.
