Overview

A pioneer in functional medicine, Dr. Greenblatt has long advocated for addressing ADHD by targeting its underlying biological factors, with OPCs (Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins) as a cornerstone of his approach. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are naturally occurring polyphenols found in many edible plants, including grape, berry, tea, and pine species. OPCs can improve blood flow to the brain, increase neurotrophin levels, reduce inflammation, and support optimal brain function. Emerging research has revealed numerous therapeutic applications for these remarkable phytochemicals, including a promising non-medication alternative for ADHD.

In this webinar Dr. Greenblatt will present empirical evidence supporting the efficacy of OPCs for various psychiatric presentations and discuss the therapeutic potentials of OPCs, which he has utilized for decades in clinical practice. Join him to explore the biologic mechanisms through which these compounds act to reduce systemic inflammation, optimize brain health and address symptoms of ADHD.
