Grape Seed Extract
Click here to OrderLaboratory studies have shown that grape seed contains antioxidants-substances that prevent cell damage caused by free radicals, which are highly reactive molecules that can damage cell function.
What Is Grape Seed Extract?
Grape seed extract is a natural plant substance that has a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC). These anti-oxidants help protect cells from free radical damage and also promotes healthy circulation. Grape Seed Extract is rich in polyphenols, a compound that's high in antioxidants. Studies have shown OPC to be more powerful antioxidants than vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene.
Before Grape seed extract was discovered, the best sources of antioxidants came from vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene; however, these sources were not powerful enough to fight the free radicals and are also excreted by the body within a short time of ingestion. Grape seed extract, on the other hand, has been shown to remain in the body for as long as 3 full days, and is 20 times more potent than Vitamin C, and 50 times more stronger than Vitamin E.
How Does Grape Seed Extract Work?
The extract from the seed of these red grapes contains certain phenolic compounds called procyanidolic oligomers, otherwise known as PCO’s, which are where the strong antioxidant abilities of the extract are located.
