Many people enjoy grapes when they are in season, as they are a healthy and nutritious fruit. They’re one of the most easily available fruits, too, and easy to transport and eat, which makes them perfect for lunches. One of the most healthful aspects of these fruits, however, is missing from most of the grocery store varieties, and that is the seed.

Grape seeds have powerful antioxidants known as OPCs, which stands for Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes. Since it’s less common to find grapes that still contain the seeds in the store, you can get these OPCs and other beneficial compounds in grape seed extract. And you might be interested to know that the American muscadine grape is more powerful than European grapes, and has more health benefits.

The benefits of grape seed extract is primarily antioxidant based. The OPCs in this extract are 20 times greater than is found in Vitamin E, and 50 times greater than in Vitamin C. This type of antioxidant is essential in the formation of collagen, which is the substance that keeps tissues soft and elastic. Collagen is important in vibrant, youthful skin, cell longevity, and flexibility.

Since collagen is so necessary for pain free joint mobility, using grape seed extract can be a way to slow the stiffness associated with arthritis, and can help improve overall flexibility and strength of these joints.
