As an antioxidant, grapeseed extract is many times more powerful than Vitamin C, E and beta carotene and boasts of a variety of benefits:
- It improves blood circulation, maintaining normal blood pressure, and inhibiting the formation of plaque in the arteries.
- It promotes the healing of wounds and protects collagen throughout the body most especially in the skin.
- It delays the onset of degenerative issues by protecting the brain and nerve tissues.
- It prevents senility and improves mental awareness. Unlike Vitamin C, grapeseed extract is not immediately excreted and is said to remain in the body for as long as 3 days. This allows the body to reap the maximum benefits of this powerful antioxidant.
- Grapeseed extract is a natural antihistamine. It keeps the body from releasing histamines that are responsible for producing allergic reactions.
- Grapeseed extract boosts the health-giving properties of Vitamins A and C, making it a valuable aid in improving eyesight and preventing wrinkles.
