Grape Seed
Grape seeds and other grape products have been highly regarded for their medicinal benefits since ancient times. Today, grapeseed extract is used for a variety of purposes and has been found to have a number of health benefits including:
Benefits of Elderberry:
Provides anti‐oxidant protection - Grapeseed is a rich source of compounds known as oligomeric proanthocyanins (OPCs), which have potent antioxidant activity and may therefore help protect the body from free radical damage that results in premature aging.
Grapeseed also has the ability to work in synergy with other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, selenium and carotenoids.
Supports skin elasticity and flexibility – Components of grapeseed help collagen fibers to cross link. This strengthens collagen, and helps support skin elasticity and appearance.
Assists in the management of varicose veins and spider veins – Grapeseed extract helps strengthen capillaries, thereby minimizing the risk of spider veins. Venous (vein) function and tone are also improved which aids in the management of varicose veins.
Supports vision – By helping strengthen capillaries, grapeseed may assist the health of the retina, thus supporting the vision. In clinical trials studying grapeseed, improvements in the eye’s ability to adapt to changes in light intensity have been observed.
Maintains heart health – Grapeseed improves blood circulation and inhibits the oxidation of LDL cholesterol (undesirable cholesterol) which is beneficial to heart health.
