healthyselves.net - Karuna 5109 Grape Seed Extract: French Grape Seed Extract: Proanthocyanidins Capsules

Grape Seed Extract: Contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins possessing high antioxidant and connective tissue stabilizing activity.

Grape Seed Extract provides a cost effective concentrate of grape seed flavonoids (GSFs), including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), upon which this extract is standardized.
GSFs depress the activity of collagenase, the enzyme that degrades collagen, and have tonic effects on the capillaries and veins (Arzneimittelforschung 1994;44:592-601, Gazette Medicale 1985;92:96-100).
GSFs have been shown by some studies to be the protective agents in wine that provide wine-drinking populations with a conspicuously low incidence of heart problems, in spite of diets rich in saturated fats and cholesterol (Clin Chim Acta 1996;246(1-2):163-82).
GSFs have been shown to reduce LDL cholesterol oxidation and maintain normal arterial blood flow capacity in animal studies (Atherosclerosis 1999;142:139-49).
A water extraction method of concentrating the grape seeds assures that no solvent residues remain after processing.

Natural sources, hypoallergenic.
