Grape Seed Extract
Grape seed extract is a relatively new supplement in the United States. However, European researchers have been studying its wide range of health benefits for several decades. But we’re catching up. Studies conducted at leading universities here in the United States, and published in the most prestigious publications, have supported that Grape Seed Extract may possess remarkably potent antioxidant properties.
The health promoting compound in Grape Seed Extract is called oligomeric proanthocyanidins, or OPC for short. Researchers suggest that this dietary agent may be particularly effective in fortifying the immune system which is the body’s first line of defense against free radical damage.
In addition, by assisting your body in reducing tissue damage from oxidative stress, Grape Seed Extract may also be one of the most promising nutrients to help premature aging problems by supporting collagen and elastin growth which are necessary for youthful looking and healthy skin structure, strength, texture and elasticity.
