| Scientists have
discovered that certain nutrients can help you look younger and feel
healthier. An important nutrient in the quest for anti-aging and
anti-disease treatment is Grape seed extract. Grape seed is known as a powerful
antioxidant. Antioxidant protection helps protect the body from premature
aging, disease and decay. Antioxidants are needed to neutralize free radicals. Free
radicals play a major role in the development of degenerative diseases,
cardiovascular diseases, strokes and aging. 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.
Healthy Looking Appearance & Better Health
Extensive research suggests that Grape Seed extract (proanthocyanidins)
may be beneficial in many areas of health due to its 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
improve vision. Grape Seed Extract has been shown to improve flexibility in
joints, arteries and body tissues such as the heart. Research studies have
shown that Grape seed extract helps improve blood circulation by strengthening
capillaries, arteries and veins.
Research Studies
Proanthocyanidins have been used therapeutically 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. A 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.
Youthful Eyesight - Vision Research
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 eyes disease were given 200
milligrams of proanthocyanidins daily for four weeks. The subjects were tested
for their resistance to blinding and their eyesight in dim light. 98 out of 100
test subjects showed an improvement in vision; as a result of supplementing
with proanthocyanidins ( grape seed extract ).
Proanthocyanadin, 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. This type of cancer is the second leading cause of
cancer deaths in men. It afflicts 50-70% of all men in Western countries by age
70. 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!
