Black Grape Seed (Vitis Vinifera)
ACTIVE COMPOUNDS CONTAINED
Resveratrol, OPC, Linolenic Acid, Phosphorus – Iron, Calcium – Sodium, Vitamins A, B, C, Potassium, Sulfur
After the Chernobyl disaster in Russia, black grape seed extract was used to help protect people exposed to radiation and to help repair the damage they suffered. It is a very powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals.
The proanthocyanidins contained in grape seeds are known as anti-aging (cell-regenerating) compounds that support metabolism and act as antioxidants. Another active compound, resveratrol, is known to regulate blood circulation, lower cholesterol, and provide heart comfort.
The true color of human blood is a cloudy whitish-red. Many substances give blood its density. Blood reaches every point of the body through proteins and oxygen. The red color comes from hemoglobin, which contains iron and carries oxygen.
Iron is such an important element for blood that black grape seed extract contains plenty of it. The body needs iron to increase its oxygen-carrying capacity and to provide energy. Aging is a process that accelerates when oxygen levels decline. Because of this, grape seed extract is used in cases of anemia.
Resveratrol is also known to prevent cancer cells from multiplying. Research from the University of Alabama examined grape seed extract’s effect on brain tissue and found regulatory effects on brain proteins, suggesting possible benefits in neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Grape seed is also known to slow age-related vision deterioration and prevent yellow-spot degeneration. It is recommended during pregnancy and for babies suffering from iron-deficiency anemia. After the Chernobyl disaster, black grape seed extract was distributed by the government to people in affected regions.
The proanthocyanidins in grape seed protect heart and vascular health by preventing oxidative damage caused by free radicals. It is used to help prevent cholesterol-related vascular blockages.
MINERALS & VITAMINS
IRON: Increases the red color of blood and its oxygen-carrying capacity. Essential for energy production and immune support.
MAGNESIUM: A vital mineral supporting the nervous system, energy production, and bone health.
CALCIUM: Necessary for healthy bones and teeth, muscle contraction, and nerve transmission. Important for preventing osteoporosis.
ZINC: Supports the immune system, cell division, tissue repair, and accelerates wound healing.
FOLIC ACID: Essential for DNA synthesis and cell division. Critical during pregnancy and for healthy fetal development.
VITAMIN B6: Supports protein metabolism, energy production, and hemoglobin formation. Helps protect the nervous system.
VITAMIN B12: Required for red blood cell production and nerve cell protection. Supports energy levels and healthy nervous system function.
