100% PURE GRAPE SEED OIL EXTRACT About Grape Seed Extract Grape Seed (Vitis Vinifera), also known as Red Wine Extract, is an important source of one of nature’s most potent antioxidants – Proanthocyanidins (also called OPCs for Oligomeric Procyanidins, or PCOs for Procyanidolic Oligomers). These nutritionally valuable substances have been utilized to treat deteriorating diseases and conditions with great success. Grape Seed helps vitamin C enter the body’s cells, thus strengthening the cell membranes, and protecting the cells from oxidative damage. Research has shown that Proanthocyanidins (which are bioflavonoids) are anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and antiallergenic, and are major free radical scavengers. Proanthocyanidins help promote tissue elasticity, help heal injuries, reduce swelling and edema, restore collagen and improve peripheral circulation. Proanthocyanidins also help prevent bruising, strengthen weak blood vessels, protect against atherosclerosis, and reduce histamine production. Grape seeds strengthen and support cardiovascular function, and improve the performance of the nervous system and immune system. Grape Seed Extract has a number of benefits that have been written about extensively in medical journals. These include the following: Protection against cardiovascular disease. Grape Seed Extract reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke and helps improve peripheral and central circulation. It reduces varicose veins, repairs artery and vascular lining and aids in resistance to bruising. Grape Seed Extract improves visual acuity and enhances the benefits of vitamins. Grape Seed Extract enhances the immune system, reduces inflammation and helps control allergic responses; GSE improves joint flexibility and prostate function, reduces mental aging and enhances energy. Grape Seed Extract is a powerful antioxidant that protects against environmental pollution and toxins. It reduces free radical damage to the skin helping prevent wrinkles and reduces the risk of cancer. |

Grape Seed Health Benefits
Grape Seeds contain a remarkable bioflavonoid known as Proanthocyanidin. Recently, it was discovered that Proanthocyanidin is 20 times more powerful than Vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than Vitamin E and Beta Carotene.
Delays Ageing
As we grow older, the body’s inherent production of antioxidant enzymes decreases. As this happens, your skin becomes leathery and wrinkled. Your arteries lose their elasticity. Your joints and cartilages stiffen. Your vision becomes cloudy. Your spine becomes stooped and every part of your body gradually ages and deteriorates.
The role of antioxidant is to deactivate free radicals and stop the cellular and tissue damage they cause. Proanthocyanidin from grapes seeds are among the most potent antioxidant free radical deactivators ever discovered. You can dramatically slow down ageing process and protect your connective tissues from free radical damage by adding Proanthocyanidin to your daily diet.
To a large extent, youthfulness is determined by the suppleness of the body’s connective tissues. Connective tissue is the meshwork that holds your body together. In infants and youth, it is soft, smooth, and elastic. It consists of long chains of mucopolysaccharides, called glycosaminoglycans, chondroitin sulfate, collagen, and elastin. As these tissues are, they oxidize and become cross-linked and rigid, losing their elasticity.
Studies have demonstrated that Proanthocyanidin bioflavonoid have a selective affinity for connective tissue. By binding to the glycosaminoglycans, collagen, and elastin, Proanthocyanidin bioflavonoid protect them from oxidation and inflammatory damage. Additionally, when combined with vitamin C, Proanthocyanidin bioflavonoid create a favorable environment for the biosynthesis of new collagen and elastin.
You are only as young as your connective tissue. This is why some people look prematurely old before their time and others youthful. Think of the cowboy in the desert with his sun-worn and wrinkled face that is as hard as leather. Then recall the soft and supple skin of a newborn baby or even a young model. The difference is the amount of oxidation, or free radical damage, that has occurred to the connective tissue. Now you know the secret of youthfulness and that you can do something about it.
Skin Care
In some practices, it has seen grape seed oil extract OPC work wonders with skin conditions. It can provide dramatic relief from the aggravating symptoms of both eczema and psoriasis. OPS has even found its way into the realm of cosmetology. For several years, women’s journals have been publishing advertisements of the anti-ageing beauty products desig
