What is Red Wine Extract 50% Polyphenols?

This is a pure extract derived from the same grapes that make red wine and contains at least 50% active polyphenols. These potent antioxidants offer protection from free radical molecules in the body that can damage cell membranes.

This extract contains high concentrations of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (Wikipedia), including dimeric, trimeric and tetrameric OPCs, cathechin analogs and other flavonoids.

Phenolic and polyphenolic constituents (including catechins and resveratrol) have been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation (clotting) in the blood.

Health Benefits of Red Wine Extract

Red wine extract is rich in polyphenols and flavonoids: phytochemicals whose antioxidant properties may exceed those of the more well known sources like vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene.

Some people call these polyphenols “nature’s biological response modifiers” because of their ability to support the immune system.

One polyphenol in red wine extract is resveratrol, a potent antioxidant that occurs naturally in plants and is considered part of their natural defense system. Resveratrol is specifically found in grapevines with the highest concentration being in the grape skin.

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins inhibit a number of enzymes that degrade connective tissue such as elastase, collagenase, and hyaluronidase. Antioxidants also promote healthy circulation.

Purity and Concentration Red Wine 50% Polyphenols Extract

This red wine extract is standardardized to contain 50% polyphenols, and is the powdered extraction from the common red wine grape wine Vitis Vinifera L. It contains no fillers, taste additives or anti-caking agents.

Suggested Use of Red Wine Extract

As a dietary supplement, take 800 milligrams (1/4 tsp) once or twice daily, or as directed by a physician. Individual needs may vary.

Potential Side Effects of Red Wine Extract

Do not take red wine extract if allergic to grapes. Do not use this product if you have anemia or take blood-thinning medication.

Since the tannin content of red wine extract is high, it may counter the effects of iron supplements and should be taken at a different time.

Red wine extract is safe at suggested serving sizes. In some cases, people consuming more than 300 milligrams at a single time have reported mild nausea. If this occurs, split your serving size and take smaller servings more often during the day to give the same daily amount.

Bioavailability, Mixing and Solubility of Red Wine Extract

Red wine extract can be mixed with juice or water. It can also be sprinkled on food.

How should I store it?
