GRAPE SEED EXTRACT

DESCRIPTION: Recent research indicates that grape seed may help skin wounds heal faster and with less scarring. The extract seemed to aid wound healing in two ways: It helped the body make more of a compound used to regenerate damaged blood vessels, and it also increased the amount of free radicals in the wound site. Free radicals help clear potentially pathogenic bacteria from a wound. Grape Seed Extract is often used in conjunction with vitamin C or bioflavonoids to promote cardiovascular and soft tissue health. It also contains proanthocyanidins, which aid in the protection and support of collagen, the main protein in blood vessels.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS: Powerful wound healing and antioxidant protection from free radical damage.

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS: No side effects known when taken as recommended.
