Grape Seed Extract, Quickly Absorbed.

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 The OPCs in Grape Seed Extract Plus are the most quickly absorbed antioxidants. Absorption begins ten minutes after entering the digestive tract. Maximum absorption is reached within forty-five minutes. After seven hours the level is still a third of maximum. OPCs are retained in connective tissue and collagen for up to seventy-two hours.

 Indications and Usages:

 Experimental data suggest that grape seed proanthocyanidins may have anticancer activity, that they protect against some forms of lipid peroxidation and that they may be cardioprotective, hepatoprotective and capillary protective. They appear to have anti-inflammatory activity. Claims that they are useful in the treatment of arthritis, varicose veins, diabetic retinopathy and some allergies are largely based upon anecdotal testimony; clinical trials are lacking.

 Grape seed proanthocyanidins are available in products called grape seed extracts. These products contain grape seed procyanidins as well as catechin and epicatechin. Typical doses are 50 to 100 mg daily. Products called OPCs or PCOs (procyanidolic oligomers) are typically grape seed extracts.
