Scientists have discovered that
certain nutrients can help you look younger and feel healthier. An
important nutrient in the quest for anti-aging, long term health and
well-being is grape seed extract.
Grape seed extract is known as a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants
help protect the body from damage from free cells. The antioxidant
capacity of grape seed extract comes from proanthocyanidins (oligomeric
proanthocyanidins) (OPCs). Scientific studies have shown that
proanthocyanidins antioxidant power is 20 times stronger than
Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E.
Extensive research suggests that the proanthocyanidins found in
grape seed extract may be beneficial in many areas of health due to
their antioxidant effect. Grape seed extract has the ability to bond
with collagen; promotes youthful skin, cell health, elasticity and
flexibility. Other studies show that grape seed extract
proanthocyanidins help protect the body from sun damage and help
support vision. Grape seed extract has been shown to support
flexibility in joints, arteries and body tissues such as the heart.
Research studies have shown that grape seed extract helps support
blood circulation by strengthening capillaries, arteries and veins.
Research Studies
Proanthocyanidins have been used for decades in Europe to improve
circulation, reduce edema and varicose veins. In a double blind
study of 50 patients with chronic venous insufficiency, grape seed
extract alleviated symptoms of this circulatory disorder. Another
study of 25 patients with high blood pressure or diabetes who were
given 150 milligrams of proanthocyanidins per day showed a
significant increase in capillary strength as compared to the
placebo group. A double blind, placebo-controlled study involving 92
patients with peripheral venous insufficiency showed that
proanthocyanidins substantially reduced pain, night time cramps and
subjective edema.
Declining vision is common with aging. According to a recent
clinical study; proanthocyanidins may play a role in improving
vision. In a research study, 100 people who were free of eye defect
and eye disease were given 200 milligrams of proanthocyanidins daily
for four weeks. The subjects were tested for their resistance to
blinding and for their ability to see in dim light. 98 out of 100
test subjects showed an improvement in vision as a result of
supplementing with proanthocyanidins (grape seed extract).
Proanthocyanidin, the active ingredient of grape seed extract, has
been proven to be 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times
more potent than Vitamin E as an antioxidant! Science News magazine,
the weekly news magazine of Science, published the findings of Dr.
Ho (Tufts University, Medford, MA) on February 22, 1997. Dr. Ho
found a direct link between free radicals and prostate cancer, the
second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. The article in Science
News goes on to say, "New findings in this area suggest
that dietary and other antioxidant therapies may hold great promise
for curbing this scourge." The article states further,
"Several studies have found that men taking vitamin E, a potent
antioxidant, are far less likely to develop prostate cancer than men
who don't supplement their diets with the vitamin." Remember
that grape seed extract is 50 times more potent than vitamin E as an
antioxidant!
