What Is Grape Seed Extract?
Grape seed extract is native to southern Europe and western Asia, but 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 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. 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 muscle and are remarkable in their ability to stabilize collagen structures. Supplementation with concentrated extracts or eating plenty of berries rich in these types of flavonoids may offer significant benefit in promoting bone health.
Vascular and Circulation
Proanthocyanidins have been shown to strengthen capillaries in double blind studies using as little as 100mg per day.
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.
