Grape seed extract is one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature. Grape seed extract contains a special class of water-soluble bioflavonoids called proanthocyanidins. These compounds help fight free radicals, the loose oxygen particles that can damage cells. Studies have shown the antioxidant activity of these specific bioflavonoids is 20 to 50 times greater than Beta-Carotene or Vitamins C and E at scavenging specific free radicals.
Free radicals are incomplete atoms or molecules that are the natural by-products of everyday metabolic, detoxification, and immune system processes. Overabundant amounts of free radicals in the body. Antioxidants like grape seed extract are the body’s natural defense system against these substances. Antioxidants are molecules that can safely neutralize free radicals, promoting cell health.
The proanthocyanidins found in grape seed extract have also been shown to help promote the structural strength of blood vessels, help stabilize collagen, and maintain elastin. Collagen and elastin are two proteins found in connective tissue that support organs, joints, and muscles. By nourishing blood vessel walls and performing other renewing functions, grape seed extract helps promote healthy blood pressure levels, heart health, and a proper inflammation response.
