Grape Seed
Potent Anti-Oxidant!
Grape Seed is one of the most potent anti-oxidants found in nature.
Rich in bioflavonoids, radical fighters, it helps prevent damage to
cells by free radicals, often called 'garbage cells'. This extract is at
least 15 to 25 times more powerful than Vitamin E in neutralizing iron
and oxygen free radicals.
Grape Seed extract is a medicinal herb used primarily for it's high
proanthocyanidin content. Proanthocyanidin is a bioflavonoid which has
demonstrated anti-oxidant properties.
It is thought to protect and strengthen connective tissue.
Proanthocyanidins are also considered helpful in improving and
preserving the elasticity of skin by stabilizing collagen and elastin.
Grape seed extract has gained in popularity over the years. It has
been studied since the early 80's for its free radical scavenging effect
and it's ability to inhibit histamine. This free radical scavenging
effect has demonstrated itself to be 20 times more potent than either
vitamin C or vitamin E.
Properly prepared Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidin has been said
to yield a 95 % concentration of the Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin
Complexes (OPCs).
