Antioxidants - Grape Seed Extract

 
Description

Grape seed extract is a nutrient primarily derived from the seeds of grapes but is found in the skin and stems. It has powerful antioxidant properties and has protective compounds known as flavonoids. These include oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), anthocyananins, quercetin, catechin, ellagic acid and reveratrol, which is also found in red wine. OPCs may be up to fifty times more potent than vitamin E and twenty times more potent than vitamin C in terms of their bioavailable antioxidant activity. For more information on OPCs, see Pycnogenol.
