What Is Grape Seed Extract?
Grape seed Extract Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins
are a set of bioflavonoid complexes that perform as free radical
scavengers in human body. Many names refer to this set of bioflavonoids,
including PCO's, Oligomeric Procyanidolic Complexes, leuco anthocyanin,
anthocyanidin and also others. Most of us take it as OPC's.
Use of Grape Seed Extract ?
OPC's are types of bioflavonoids, very powerful
ones. Bioflavonoids are parts of plants that are actually assimilated
into our body tissues when we consume them. It was this very ability
that led to their discovery. OPC bioflavonoids were first noticed in the
laboratory because they have the uncanny ability to strengthen blood
vessel walls within hours after taking them. The person who responsible
for their discovery was a French scientist named Dr. Jacques Masquelier,
who first tested bioflavonoid containing peanuts on lab animals and
discovered that their blood vessel walls would double in strength only
hours after eating them. His discovery was made in 1948. In 1951, this
same doctor extracted OPC's from pine bark.
In
1970, Dr. Masquelier obtained yet another patent for these bioflavonoids
- a far more potent product. It is the grape seed extract that you may
have heard about, and it is a powerful substance indeed.
