Grape seed extract is native to southern Europe and western Asia, grape vines now grow in all temperate regions of the world. The leaves, fruit and juice have all been used medicinally, but only grape seed extract has exhibited pronounced therapeutic effects. Grape seed extract is a medicinal herb used primarily for its high oligomeric proanthocyanidin (OPC) content. Found in red wines, OPCs are flavonoid-rich compounds with very potent antioxidant properties. OPCs help maintain capillary strength and integrity, and have been found to inhibit the production of free radicals, and to affect enzyme systems that control inflammation.1 Grape Seed Extract is indicated as a powerful antioxidant for vascular health; heart and normal blood pressure support; and circulation support.

Why Take Grape Seed Extract?
Antioxidant Capacity
Potent bioflavonoids have been shown to relax smooth muscle7 and are remarkable in their ability to stabilize collagen structures.8 Supplementation with concentrated extracts or eating plenty of berries rich in these types of flavonoids may offer significant benefit in preventing osteoporosis.9 Proanthocyanidins make up part of the green tea complex, and may be responsible for many of the touted therapeutic benefits.
Vascular and Circulatory Disorders
Proanthocyanidins have been shown to strengthen capillaries in double blind studies using as little as 100mg per day. Grape seed has been used for treating and preventing varicose veins, venous insufficiency, edema associated with injury or surgery, and peripheral vascular disease.
Anti-Cancer Activity
Experimental data suggest that grape seed proanthocyanidins may have anti-cancer activity. Antitumor-promoting activity described as highly significant, has been observed in animals treated with topical grape seed proanthocyanidins. Skin tumor incidence, multiplicity and volume were all significantly inhibited. These effects were attributed to inhibition of epidermal lipid peroxidation. Higher doses resulted in greater degrees of cancer inhibition.
An extract of grape seed proanthocyanidins has significantly inhibited human breast cancer, lung cancer and gastric adenocarcinoma cells in vitro. The extract did not inhibit neoplastic K562 myelogenous leukemic cells. In the same experiment, the extract enhanced growth and viability of normal human gastric mucosal cells and J774A.1 murine macrophage cells. These promising preliminary findings warrant more research.
How Much Grape Seed Extract Should I Take?
Flavonoids and proanthocyanidins are a significant source of antioxidants in the average diet. They are not classified as essential nutrients because their absence does not induce a deficiency state. Dosage at 50mg - 100mg per day is considered a reasonable supplemental level by some doctors, but optimal levels remain unknown.
