What is Grape Skin extract?

Grape skin extract are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid, and OPCs. Typically, the commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed extract constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins recognized as antioxidants.

Grape skin extract is rich in Oligomers Procyanidin Complexes (OPC) , which is a powerful antioxidant. In addition to the ultra rich potence of over 20 times higher than Vitamin C. Grape skin extract is also 50 times better than Vitamin E. Grape skin extract helps to strengthen the immune system, and also slowdown the aging process, which is of very high market value. Procyanidin B2, which is the most active compound to neutralize free radicals that cause aging, is available only in Grape Seed.

In Europe, OPC from grape skin extract proanthocyanidins has been adopted and used for several decades as a safe and effective compound. Grape skin extract has no record of any acute or chronic toxicity, no harmful reaction even under very high dosage. For these reasons, grape skin extract proanthocyanidins has become a new star in the food supplement market.

DESCRIPTION: Whole fruits and vegetables were compared to both antioxidant pills as well as supplements containing fruits and vegetable extracts for their ability to treat seasonal allergies, improve lung function, and control asthma.

If you missed my last video about the fruit and vegetable treatment study, you can watch it here: Treating Asthma With Fruits and Vegetables (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-with-fruits-and-vegetables). Prior to that I dealt with preventing asthma in the first place: Preventing Asthma With Fruits and Vegetables (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-asthma-with-fruits-and-vegetables). I’ll close out this video series with video about the efficacy of vegetarian and vegan diets for the treatment of allergic diseases in Treating Asthma and Eczema With Plant-Based Diets (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/treating-asthma-and-eczema-with-plant-based-diets).

The video I referenced about the cedar allergies in Japan was Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors and Allergies (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/alkylphenol-endocrine-disruptors-and-allergies/).

The theme of whole foods being more efficacious than supplements seems to come up over and over again. See for example:
• Produce, Not Pills to Increase Physical Attractiveness (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/produce-not-pills-to-increase-physical-attractiveness/)
• Dietary Treatments for Computer Eye Strain (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-treatments-for-computer-eye-strain/)
• Some Dietary Supplements May Be More Than a Waste of Money (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/some-dietary-supplements-may-be-more-than-a-waste-of-money/)
• Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/)
