Life Extension Whole Grape Extract Standardized Resveratrol, Grape Seed, and Red Wine Polyphenols

Life Extensions Whole Grape Extract formula provides a concentrated blend of standardized proanthocyanidins found in grape seed and skins. The proanthocyanidins and flavonoids in this formula are rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the body, helping to eliminate free radicals while supporting healthy collagen. This is of particular importance in protecting the underlying supporting structure of the skin.

The most potent natural free radical scavenger may be the proanthocyanidins found in grape seed. Proanthocyanidins and other extracts from grape seed have been shown to inhibit abnormal blood clotting, promote the formation of collagen in the skin, and protect against cancer.

Classes of molecules found in natural whole grape, grape skin, and grape seed extracts include potent effectors like proanthocyanidins (in grape seed), anthocyanins (which give purple and red grapes their color), and single molecular entities such as resveratrol and quercetin. Scientific studies document the multiple health effects of these components, which can be characterized as antibiotic, anti-tumor, anti-diabetic, anti-ulcer, cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, and anti-brain aging.

The cardiovascular health benefits of grape seed extract include favorable effects on blood pressure, enhanced endothelial function, and decreased oxidative stress. The potent antioxidant activity of grape seed extract may be responsible for its reported neuroprotective effects, as observed in animal models of Alzheimers disease.

Unlike other products that contain only proanthocyanidins, this blend also provides standardized resveratrol and a whole red wine polyphenol extract.
