What is Grape Seed Extract?
The grape seed extract contained in these capsules is a natural plant product. The extract is rich in procyanidins, a water-soluble bioflavonoid that acts an effective binder of free radicals, molecules in the body that damage cell membranes.
Grape seed extract comes from the seeds of Vitis vinifera L., a variety of wine grapes. The extract contains polyphenols, a compound high in antioxidants. It is also high in flavonoids, phytochemicals whose antioxidant properties rival those of well-known sources like vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene -the precursor to vitamin A.
Antioxidants assist in protecting cells from damage and promote healthy circulation.
Grape seed extracts contain procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs), also known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs)(Wikipedia). Other sources of OPCs are berries and green tea. Aside from being powerful antioxidants, OPCs inhibit a number of enzymes that degrade connective tissue such as elastase, collagenase, and hyaluronidase.
Although antioxidants(Wikipedia) are found in vitamin C, Vitamin E, and beta-carotene (provitamin A), the vitamins are excreted by the body within a short time of ingestion. Grape seed extract, in contrast, is believed to remain available in the body for as long as three days.
Research on grape seed extract first came about in the late 20th century as the "French paradox" was studied. The French had very low rates of heart disease when their fatty diet - which should have contributed to higher incidence of heart disease - was considered. Research pointed to the French penchant for red wine as a factor. Further research has shown the OPC present in red wine promotes cardiovascular health. Grape seed extract is a rich source of OPCs.
What is in Grape Seed Extract?
Grape seed extract contains healthy ingredients including protein, lipids, carbohydrates and polyphenols (which come mainly in the form of flavonoids, also known as bioflavonoids). One specific class of phenol available in grape seed is called procyanidin. It was first found in 1936 by Professor Jacques Masquelier, who named it Vitamin P (the name didn't stick and has since fallen out of usage). Procyanidins bond and work well with collagen, a key component of skin, gums, bones, teeth, hair and body tissues. Procyanidins also help protect the body from the sun's harmful rays.
One other of the grape's hidden health weapons is also worth a mention: resveratrol. This chemical is found primarily in the skin and seeds. Resveratrol is a powerful antioxidant, providing nutritional support for health of the cardiovascular system. Resveratrol has been shown to improve longevity in yeast and several species of animals. It is not yet known whether resveratrol has the same effect in humans.
Benefits of Grape Seed Extract
Today, there are two main benefits of grape seed: as an antioxidant and to promote a healthy cardiovascular system. A recent study of volunteers that are generally healthy discovered that grape seed supplementation drastically increased the levels of antioxidants found within the blood. Antioxidants are helpful because they fight and destroy free radicals, items found in the body that damage cell membranes, tamper with DNA, and can even possibly cause unwanted and damaging forms of cellular death
The other main benefit of grape seed stems from the flavonoids it contains. Flavonoids promote healthy cholesterol levels.
Purity and Concentration of Grape Seed Extract
These capsules contain food-grade grape seed extract powder and contain proanthocyanidins. There are NO fillers, taste additives, or anti-caking agents. Store in a cool, dry area protected from light.
Potential Side Effects of Grape Seed Extract
Side effects are uncommon. Some people have reported headaches, a dry, itchy scalp, dizziness or nausea. Do not take grape seed extract if allergic to grapes.
Recommended Use of Grape Seed Extract
The recommended serving size for grape seed extract capsules is one capsule every other day, depending on individual needs. The key ingredient, proanthocyanidin, has a half-life of approximately 72 hours in the body. Thus, taking it every other day will maintain sufficiently constant levels in the blood. We offer both gelatin (bovine source) and vegetarian (cellulose) capsules.
PureBulk does not use fillers in their encapsulation process so the amount (in milligrams) of each capsule varies slightly from batch to batch. Typically, each capsule has 500 mg of grape seed extract (for the entire batch). Some batches will have 450 mg per capsule.
