The long standing cordial relationship between INC and Dr. Jack Masquelier reads like a book. In fact, it helped produce a number of books that could not have been written without Dr. Masquelier’s selfless support and advice. The relationship was tested and tried, but always came out “better than before”. It turned INC into the exclusive origin of the products that became known around the world as MASQUELIER’s®. It also turned INC into the “gatekeeper” of an unsurpassed scientific “oeuvre” that has only gained in relevance as the years passed by. By incorporating most intellectual, technical and commercial accomplishments and achievements of Masquelier and his colleagues, INC firmly placed itself in a tradition that stretches back into the late 1940s - by far the longest in the field of oligomeric proanthocyanidins and unique in the history of food supplements. According to INC’s founder, Bert Schwitters, “bringing products to the market is one thing. Maintaining their quality, integrity and efficacy is another, especially when you’re thinking in terms of decades instead of years. It so happens that the products invented by Dr. Masquelier belong to one of the most effective known to mankind. When taken as a food supplement, they work. When presented as a medicine, they work. When applied in skin care, they work. We know they work, because they have been tested, researched and used by millions of people across the world during numerous decades. All those tests were done with the ‘actives’ as they have been developed and fine-tuned by Masquelier and his colleagues. INC uses those ‘actives’ in its products and that’s why Dr. Masquelier exclusively authorized us to distinguish our products as MASQUELIER’s®.” Is Dr. Masquelier still actively involved ? No, he isn’t. Ever since he retired from his Chair at the University of Bordeaux and subsequently turned over what remained of his other professional activities to INC, he lives a happy life in and just outside of Bordeaux, where he owns a house that is surrounded by the Graves vineyards. Surely, whenever we can’t find a piece of the puzzle called ‘OPCs’ we call the dear professor and 9 out of 10 times, he provides us a useful answer or lead. Does Dr. Masquelier personally control INC’s MASQUELIER’s® products ? During his active life, Dr. Masquelier and his colleagues laid down and helped formulate a number of tests and protocols that serve as the firm basis for INC’s quality control to check the various MASQUELIER’s® products. Not only in terms of what they are, but also in terms of what they do ! MASQUELIER’s® products are strictly kept within the bandwidth of quality set by Dr. Masquelier.
