This extract from the tiny seeds of red grapes is a flavonoid and one of Europe's leading natural treatments. Plant substances with potent antioxidant potential, flavonoids protect the cells from damage by unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals. Grape seed extract contains procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs), also called proanthocyanidins. Once called pycnogenols (pik-NODGE-en-alls), PCOs are believed to play an important role in preventing heart disease and cancer. Pycnogenol with a capital P is the trademark for a specific PCO derived from maritime pine bark; it can be used in place of grape seed extract, but it is more expensive, and many practitioners don't believe it's worth the extra cost.
Grape seed extract exerts a powerful, positive influence on blood vessels. Not coincidentally, the active substances in this extract, PCOs, are key ingredients in one of the drugs most frequently prescribed for blood vessel (vascular) disorders in western Europe
Because it is both oil- and water-soluble, grape seed extract can penetrate all types of cell membranes, delivering antioxidant protection throughout the body. Moreover, it is one of the few substances that can cross the blood-brain barrier, which means it may protect brain cells from free-radical damage.
Major benefits: With its powerful ability to enhance the health of blood vessels, grape seed extract may both reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke and also strengthen fragile or weak capillaries and increase blood flow, particularly to the extremities. For this reason, many experts find it a beneficial supplement for almost any type of vascular insufficiency, as well as for conditions that are associated with poor vascular function, including diabetes, varicose veins, some cases of impotence, numbness and tingling in the arms and legs, and even painful leg cramps.
Because it can have an impact on even the tiniest blood vessels, grape seed extract also benefits circulation in the eye. It is frequently recommended as a supplement to combat macular degeneration and cataracts, two of the most common causes of blindness in older people. And if you use computers on a regular basis, grape seed extract may also be for you. At least one study showed that 300 mg daily for just 60 days reduced eyestrain associated with computer monitor work and improved contrast vision.
Many experts now endorse grape seed extract for its cancer-fighting properties. Working as antioxidants, PCOs correct damage to the genetic material of cells that could possibly cause tumors to form.
Additional benefits: Helping to preserve and reinforce the collagen in the skin, grape seed extract is often used in the treatment of connective tissue disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. In Europe, it is often included in cosmetic creams to improve skin elasticity.
For allergy sufferers, grape seed extract offers relief; it inhibits the release of symptom-causing compounds such as histamine, which, in turn, helps control a variety of allergic reactions, from hives to hay fever. Grape seed also blocks the release of prostaglandins, chemicals involved in allergic reactions and in pain and inflammation, particularly that of the menstrual disorder called endometriosis.
