Blood sludge (also known as Poikilocytosis or Thick Blood) is a common problem in America, but it is discussed about as often as bunions. Many doctors refer to it as thick blood, others use scientific terms like rouleau stacking or poikilocytes. Without a standard, commonly used diagnosis, little attention is paid to it.
Thick blood is a problem because blood is the lifeline of the body. That whole "apple a day" thing isn't worth much, if the apple's nutrients don't make it to your body's cells. Thick blood slows the body's ability to both feed the cells and remove waste from the cells. Together, that's a double problem.
The good news is OPC Supplements can quickly solve thick blood or blood sludge problems. OPC's are antioxidants found primarily in grapes that strengthen the walls of veins and arteries and also nullify the free radicals that cause damage to red blood cells.
One of the causes of thickened blood is damaged cells. Cells become damaged when scavenging free radicals bounce into healthy cells and damage them. OPC's neutralize free radicals by donating the electron they are missing. Once a free radical's outer shell is complete, it's scavenging stops and healthy cells can begin their repair.
Studies show that ingesting opc's can clean the blood and get it flowing again shortly after ingestion. The key to finding a good OPC supplement, however, is finding one with a great absorption rate and one that comes in individually sealed "doses". Since OPC's are antioxidants, once they're exposed to oxygen their potency reduces. Individual packets protects them from oxidation.
