The seeds of the fruit of the grape plant (Vitis vinifera) contain certain constituents called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which are related to Resveratrol, a potent antioxidant. Grape seed extracts also contain Vitamin E, flavonoids, and linoleic acid. Most of the benefits of grape seed extract are attributed to its OPC content, and the cardiovascular benefits of drinking red wine are due in part to the antioxidant functions.
Antioxidant
OPCs are strong antioxidants, which means that they are substances that protect cells from oxidative damage by neutralizing free radicals. Free radicals, on the other hand, are unstable molecules with an unpaired electron that are extremely reactive, and can damage surrounding cell membranes, fats, and fat-soluble vitamins and nutrients. We encounter free radicals through environmental exposures, such as cigarette smoke, air pollution, processed foods, and ultraviolet radiation from the sun (UV rays). In studies, OPCs are shown to be far more powerful than other antioxidants like vitamins E and C. Additionally, they work with the primary antioxidant in the liver called glutathione and recycle vitamin C so it can continue to fight free radicals. OPCs are easily taken in by most cells in the body and even cross the blood brain barrier to provide protection to our brain and nerves. .
Cardiovascular health
OPCs are used for cardiovascular health because they strengthen the collagen lining of vessels, thus improving circulation, and decreasing inflammation and blood clots. This helps to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Anti-aging and Immune Support
OPCs have anti-aging properties because they protect the body from environmental pollutants, and other free radical sources. They also keep tissues, like the skin, elastic and keep the immune system in good working order (to prevent cancer formation). In addition to general immune system support, OPCs also help to prevent improper (allergic) immune responses. They do this by preventing the release of histamine from certain immune cells called mast cells. This reduces systemic inflammation and allergic symptoms like runny nose, congestion and watery eyes.
How can I take grape seed extract?
Grape seed extract can be purchased as a powdered beverage or encapsulated extract. These supplements should be standardized as an assurance of the amount of OPCs they contain. Generally, 40-80% proanthocyanidins or 95% polyphenols are the standardizations used for medicinal use.
TESTIMONIALS
I'm a guy and I really like this. It's good any time of the day if I start to get a little shiny. (The Amino Derm Gel and Men's Stock moisturizer also help with that.) It's refreshing, very lightly scented, and never irritates my sensitive skin, even after I shave.
This toner and its matching cleanser are the answer to my 50s combo skin. Very state-of-the-art natural skin care products. I love the accompanying mask, too.
I absolutely love the blue green algae line! Especially the blue green algae toner. It has totally changed the way my skin looks but also the way it feels. I used to use a lot of chemicals on my face and now appreciate what nature can do. Who needs all those harsh chemicals anyway! I have a new self esteem about my skin. Thanks Aubrey, you're the greatest!
I am an avid devotee of Aubrey's blue green algae line. This toner is phenomenol in that it is exquisitely refreshing, abundant in a host of beauty-enhancing herbals, and gentle to not only the complexion,but to the animals as well!
I love this toner so much! It has helped my skin dramatically. I normally have oily skin in the hot humid DC summers, but this toner has kept the oiliness to a minimum yet it is not drying at all. It feels very cool and light and smells great. My skin has the best texture and tone it has had in years. I have olive skin, oily/combo t-zone, tendency towards discolorations and rednesss, and some fine lines and this product has made it all better!
