NEW ROOTS Grapeseed Extract · 80% Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins · 100 mg 60 capsules

The proanthocyanidin-rich formula defends sensitive tissues and organ systems throughout the body against disease-causing free radicals.

Grape seed extract, a bioflavonoid rich in proanthocyanidins, combats free radicals and supports capillary health. Similar to pine bark extract, it contains a high proanthocyanidin content. Free radicals impact capillaries by inactivating 1-antitripsin, a compound that restrains enzymes breaking down collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. Additionally, they turn fats in cell membranes rancid through lipid peroxidation. Proanthocyanidins neutralize specific free radicals, safeguarding 1-antitripsin and lipids. Collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid form the capillaries' inner wall and supporting matrix, ensuring proper functioning.

Proanthocyanidins tend to accumulate in tissues rich in glycosaminoglycans, such as capillary walls and skin, and may apply to cartilage and synovial fluid. Demonstrating antimutagenic effects at high concentrations, proanthocyanidins surpass vitamin E in neutralizing iron and reactive oxygen species that attack lipids.

Grape seed extract, renowned for its free radical-fighting abilities and its impact on capillary health, synergizes with vitamin C for enhanced efficacy. Proanthocyanidins in grape seeds exhibit anti-inflammatory, antiarthritic, antiallergic, and UV radiation-inhibiting effects, bonding with collagen—the body's abundant protein. Indicated for various conditions, including poor microcirculatory blood flow, altered capillary fragility, chronic arterial/venous insufficiency, and aging effects, proanthocyanidins reduce the risk of degenerative diseases.
