Does Bryan take grape seed extract for OPCs or Resveratrol?

I noticed that in part of Blueprints Longevity protein powder, one of the ingredients is “Grape seed extract”.
In the description it mentions that is has “90% Polyphenols similar to wine polyphenols”, though both OPCs and Resveratrol are polyphenols that are found in wine.
I seems a little unclear which active ingredients the “Grape seed extract” in the protein powder is focused on. If it’s ether one or the other, or if its both.

Seeking good Liposomal Glutathione brand

Or if need to be spending more on a expensive and established Liposomal glutathione brand like quicksilver, which makes a much more expensive product, though with a likely higher absorption rate.

Did Bryan stop taking NAC and Curcumin?

These are some of the most promising supplements available in my opinion, so I think it’s a little weird if he was to quit these specific supplements.

Does anyone store Omega 3 and Antioxidants in the freezer?

Im thinking about storing my softgel supplements in the freezer rather than in the fridge, for supplements like omega 3s, Astaxanthin and vitamin E, to further protect them from heat and oxidation.
Just not entirely sure if that could somehow break the oils in them, or do something else that wouldn’t be good for them.
