• Grapeseed is considered one of nature's most potent antioxidants. It contains tannin compounds called proanthocyanidins (also called OPCs for oligomeric procyanidins or PCOs for procyanidolic oligomers). They are classified as flavonols, and the way in which these versatile healing compounds are distinct from flavonoids is their simple chemical structure, which allows them to be readily absorbed into the bloodstream. They work actively against fat-soluble and water-soluble oxidants, thus protecting the cells from damage. OPCs may also be derived from pine bark and are present in red wine, hops, various flowers, fruits, berries, nuts, and beans, but Grapeseed is the richest source of these important nutrients. Grapeseed is also rich in beta-carotene, vitamin E compounds, and bioflavonoids that exert vitamin-C-like effects. These constituents strengthen the cell membranes and are free-radical scavengers that protect the cells from oxidative damage. Grapeseed also improves blood circulation, which benefits both cardiac and cerebral function. Studies have shown that it improves peripheral circulation, resulting in less pain and swelling in arms and legs and fewer nighttime cramps. It is also said to relieve numbness and tingling.
