| Grape Seed Extract
Grape seed extract is rich in flavonoids, phytochemicals that have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are believed to prevent and control numerous ailments by safeguarding cells against the ravages of unstable oxygen molecules, i.e. the free radicals. Grape seed extract's anti-oxidative activities are much stronger than vitamin C and vitamin E and may involve radical scavenging, quenching, and enzyme-inhibiting actions
Our entire range of Grape Seed Extract
Before Grape seed extract was discovered, the best sources of antioxidants came from vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene; however, these sources were not powerful enough to fight the free radicals and are also excreted by the body within a short time of ingestion. Grape seed extract, on the other hand, has been shown to remain in the body for as long as 3 full days, and is 20 times more potent than vitamin C, and 50 times more stronger than Vitamin E.
Benefits of Grape Seed Extract
Specifically, grape seed extract may help to:
Protects the cardiovascular disease
Risk for heart attack and stroke may be reduced with this potent antioxidant, which is believed to prevent the plaque development that can clog arteries. Grape Seed Extract provides cardiovascular protection by preventing oxidation of lipoproteins (LDL), making them less likely to stick to blood-vessel walls. It also makes the linings of the arteries more resistant to damage and helps control excessive clotting. It also affects enzymes that influence blood-fluid balances and therefore may be helpful in lowering blood pressure.
Minimize fibromylagia damage
Some studies have shown as well that grape seed extract may help to minimize the damage done by fibromyalgia. This disorder, characterized by its chronic muscle pain and stiffness, does not respond to many traditional treatments, but there is anecdotal evidence to suggest that grape seed oil may be an effective treatment for some sufferers.
Cancer-fighting effects.
The antioxidants in grape seed extract work hard at helping to control cellular damage, routinely hunting down and neutralizing mutations within the genetic material of cells that could lead to tumor formation. Grape Seed Extract protects the body against certain cancer cells as breast cancer cells, lung cancer cells and stomach cancers. Grape Seed Extract destroyed the cancer cells but preserved the healthy cells.
Fight skin diseases
Grape seed extract is often rubbed directly on the skin as well, and doing so may help people maintain the elasticity of the skin. Many skin creams manufactured in Europe add grape seed extract for just that purpose. In this way, grape seed extract may be useful in treating inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis. Its flavonoids also inhibit allergic reactions that can generate such skin problems as eczema.
Ease eye strain.
Grape seed extract is especially helpful for the eye area, which tends to show signs of ageing first. People who stare at computer monitors for extended periods may benefit from taking grape seed extract. |
