About Grape Seed ExtractVitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid, and OPCs are highly concentrated in grape seeds.Mechanism of Action of Grape Seed ExtractIt is rich in flavonoids, which are plant substances that help protect cells from free radical damage. Grape Seed Extract is a natural plant substance that has a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC). These anti-oxidants help protect cells from free radical damage and also promote healthy circulation. Grape Seed Extract is rich in polyphenols, a compound that's high in antioxidants. Studies have shown OPC to be more powerful antioxidants than vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene. Grape Seed Extract is both water and fat-soluble and may therefore penetrate all types of cell membranes delivering powerful antioxidant protection. It is also one of the few antioxidants that can cross the blood brain barrier, potentially helping to protect brain cells from free radical damage.Pharmacokinets of Grape Seed ExtractN/AOnset of Action for Grape Seed ExtractN/ADuration of Action for Grape Seed ExtractN/AHalf Life of Grape Seed ExtractN/ASide Effects of Grape Seed ExtractN/AContra-indications of Grape Seed ExtractN/ASpecial Precautions while taking Grape Seed ExtractN/APregnancy Related InformationN/AOld Age Related InformationN/ABreast Feeding Related InformationN/AChildren Related InformationN/AIndications for Grape Seed Extract1.Reduction of blood cholesterol
