Grape seeds
General Features
Grape seed extract is a dietary supplement made by removing, drying, and pulverizing the bitter-tasting seeds of grapes. It is an industrial derivative of grape seeds which is rich in antioxidants and oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes and has been linked to a wide range of possible health benefits including the treatment of conditions such as high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, macular degeneration, poor circulation, and nerve damage
Therapeutic Application
GSE is one of the best-known sources of proanthocyanidins that can help prevent the disease and protect against oxidative stress, tissue damage, and inflammation
As a rich source of flavonoids, GSE may thus help increase your bone density and strength. So including grape seed extract in diet with calcium has a beneficial effect on bone formation and bone strength for the treatment of bone debility caused by a low level of calcium
Flavonoids’ combination of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties are also thought to delay or reduce the onset of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s disease
One of the components of GSE is gallic acid, which studies have shown can inhibit the formation of a substance that cause Alzheimer’s disease
Several studies have researched the effects of GSE on high blood pressure. Some other studies suggest that GSE may improve blood flow
Grape seed extract has the potential to increase the speed that wounds heal
GSE supplements have been found to reduce LDL or bad cholesterol oxidation triggered by high fat diets in several animal studies. Some research in humans show similar results, too
Grape seeds contain proanthocyanidins which might prevent the development of cancer since they are useful in the attenuation of the adverse UV-induced health effects in human skin
GSE may also reduce kidney damage and improve its function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammatory damage
Another benefit of GSE comes from the antioxidants in it. They can potentially protect the blood vessels from becoming damaged, which may prevent high blood pressure
GSE is widely used in traditional medicine as a remedy for candida. Candida is a common yeast-like fungus that can sometimes result in candida overgrowth, or thrush
