Grape Seed Extract is derived from the ground-up seeds of red wine grapes and well-known for its medicinal and nutritional value for thousands of years. It is also prominent for its having some nootropic benefits to offer and plays an important role in preventing cancer, bone strength, oral health, healthy blood pressure, and Alzheimer’s disease.[1][/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″ offset=”vc_col-md-offset-1 vc_col-md-5″][vc_single_image image=”628″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_custom_heading text=”Benefits” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:50|text_align:left|color:%23c1c1c1″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1507817372513{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]With immense potential health benefits, Grape Seed Extract is now used by people to relieve them of a number of diseases.

The supplement has a number of different mechanisms of action to work. The flavanoids and polyphenols are considered to be such compounds which are the most active and cause effects. They both primarily work as antioxidants. They are able to eat up free radicals and remove many different types of chemicals and compounds from the body.
The most important component of Grape seed extract is Resveratrol, also known as 3,5,4′-trihydroxy-trans-stilbene. Resveratrol has great effects as an anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant, as well as on stabilizing blood sugar levels and improving cardiovascular function.
Procyanidins from Grape Seed, in studies, have been shown to exert anti-oxidative effects in vitro in PC12 neurons, and can fully protect H2O2 induced cytotoxicity at a certain concentration without negatively affecting cell viability. Grape seed extract is also shown to protect cells from cytotoxicity induced by beta-amyloid pigmentation. In reference to a different study, feeding a strain of animals, especially mice with Alzheimer’s-like cognitive deficits, Grape Seed Extract (GSE) daily at a certain concentration for 5 months found notable cognitive improvement.[4][/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Considerations” font_container=”tag:p|font_size:50|text_align:left|color:%23c1c1c1″ google_fonts=”font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal” css=”.vc_custom_1507817347583{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Though Grape Seed Extract is generally considered safe, it has relatively a few side effects.

We already did the research so we figured we would share with you the best products for each supplement. Most grapeseed extracts we tested were low in quality. One easy way to determine the quality is to look at the powder. It should look like fine purple crystals rather than brown powder. If you don’t have a chance to look at the powder you can look for proanthocyanidins content which can be an indicator it meets basic quality standards. We get commissions on any Grapeseed Extract supplement you buy on Amazon, but we would recommend the one in the link provided.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
