Review : Isotonix OPC 3 - Does it work?


Does Isotonix OPC-3 by Market America work?  Chances are If you are reading this review you were in my shoes when I was first introduced to this product by my friend as a solution to your health problems.  In my case it was Allergies,  Chronic headaches and ADHD.

Isotonix OPC-3 is a crystal-like powder that you mix with water. According to the company's website, the ingredients in OPC-3 include red wine extracts, pine bark, bilberry, citrus and grape seed to provide the amount of antioxidants needed for optimal health.  [1]

Like most people, we know this sounds too good to be true and there are too many products on the internet that offers to fix all your health problems.   We need to do our due diligence.   I'll save you sometime because I put my google-fu to good use and gathered all my findings.

After reading very favorable reviews related to my health issues online from doctors and people who have tried the product.  The only negative reviews i have read is on delay/damaged package or the powder was solidify upon opening the package.  Most of the time the buyer purchased the product from an unauthorized distributor.    In addition,  OPC 3 did not contain any dangerous fillers such as : Hydrogenated Oil,  Artificial Coloring, Magnesium Stearate and Titanium Dioxide.

Since, I got the product for free and there are so many positive reviews - I decided to try it for 30 days while abandoning my medication for my allergies(Benadryl), headache ( Tylenol )  and ADHD (Adderall XR) to see how effective OPC 3 is.   This is done of course with the consent of my family doctor.

First & Second week:
Morning: 2 Caps
Before Sleeping: 1 Cap

I felt lethargic, and depressed the first week in the morning for the first 3 days.   According to doctor and online sources this was due to the high dose withdrawal from Adderall XR 30 MG.[2]   after the sympton subsided,  I feel more energy in the morning and my sense of alertness has increased but not to same effect as adderall where I feel like I am  on crack.  Less frequent headache and I'm taking less Benadryl this week.

third week & 4th week
Morning: 1 Cap
Before Sleeping: 1 Cap

I feel confident that i found the substitute for my Adhd and my lack of focus issue.   I still think I need to to keep taking it to see the full result.   I still have headaches and allergies symptoms but they are less pronoun.

My only complain is that the medication is that is pretty inconvenient to take as I have to pour in the powder in the cap and the powder does solidify and result in spillage.   OPC 3 is not in a portable pill form.

I can say with certainty I will continue using the product.  From an economic standpoint,  I would be saving from the ADHD medication.  From a health standpoint,  OPC 3 has all natural ingredient where as Adderall has addictive property and stimulant based.
