Grape
Seed Extract
This product is
a highly concentrated natural extract derived from grape seeds. It contains a
number of unique beneficial flavonoid compounds (min. 92% proanthocyanidins)
which have demonstrated many times the antioxidant activity of vitamins C and
E in in vitro studies.
IN-DEPTH SUMMARY:
What Is It
As its name implies, grape seed
extract is derived from the small seeds (and occasionally the skins) of red
grapes--the same kind that are pressed to make wine. Used extensively in
Europe, grape seed extract is rich in flavanoids, phytochemicals that have
antioxidant properties some consider even greater than the old standbys
vitamin C and vitamin E. Antioxidants are believed to prevent and control
numerous ailments by safeguarding cells against the ravages of unstable oxygen
molecules called free radicals.
The most valuable flavanoids in grape
seed extract are procyanidolic oligomers (also known as proanthocyanidins),
commonly called PCOs. Beyond their antioxidant powers, PCOs are thought to
nutritionally support the circulatory system.
Suggested usage:
As a dietary supplement, take 1-4 capsules with meals. An initial
intake based on 1 capsule per 50-60 pounds of weight for the first week or two
may be most beneficial. Thereafter, intake may be adjusted according to one
capsule per 100-120 pounds of weight.
