Grape Seed Extract INCI Name VITIS VINIFERA SEED EXTRACT EINECS ELINCS No 284-511-6 CAS 84929-27-1 Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins OPC Polyphenols photo picture image Important differences between Grape Seed and Pine Bark:There are some important differences.

 Antioxidant advantage: In the words of Professor Masquelier, developer and patentee of both OPC products announced: . . ."I underline that in 1986 I discovered that grape seed has an intense free radical scavenging effect (FRSE) on radical oxygen species. These discoveries were laid down in my U.S. Patent (no 4,698,360) of Oct. 6 1987, 'Radical Scavenging Effect of Proanthocyanidins' . . . The tests showed that in this respect OPC from Grape seed has an advantage over OPC from Pine bark. OPC from grape seed contains the gallic esters of proanthocyanidins (in particular: Proanthocyanidin B2-3'-O-gallate). These proanthocyanidins -esters have been recently described as the most active substances in the battle against free radicals." October 1991 Martiliac, France (Procyanidines de France). Independent research by Dr Ricardo Da Silva showed "Proanthocyanidin B2-3'-O-gallate" available only in grape seed was found the most effective compound in trapping free radicals.

 Strength: Pycnogenol (Pine tree) has an OPC strength ranging from 80-85% compared with Grapeseed normally marketed at 90-95%. Be careful that the Grapeseed is 95%. A slight difference in favour of grapeseed. Research points toward the fact that proanthocyanidin 100% purity is non-mutagenic. Thus the range 90-95% for maximum benefit.
