Grape
Seed Extract
Grape
seed extract contains powerful antioxidants known as oligomers of
proanthocyanidins (OPCs). Some studies say that OPCs are 20 times more
powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E. Grape
seed is one traditional source of OPCs, although they are present
throughout the plant world.
In a review of the benefits of the OPCs
found in grape seed extract, Bombardelli and Morazzoni (Fitoterapia 66,
no. 4 [1995]) note that OPCs’ antioxidant effects are generally credited
for their other benefits. The authors note that these include an
antimutagenic effect; that is, they inhibit the mutation of DNA. The
authors point out that chronic degenerative diseases are believed to be a
result of environmental mutagens (substances that cause mutation). OPCs
may be able to counter these mutagens.
OPCs also have "cosmetic" value.
They protect collagen and elastin, which are an important part of the
makeup of skin. It is the interlacing of collagen and elastin which gives
skin its strength, elasticity, and smoothness. When these two substances
are damaged, the skin loses elasticity—the result can be wrinkles. OPCs
help restore damaged collagen and elastin and protect them against further
damage. You could say that OPCs are an oral cosmetic to keep skin healthy.
Grape
seed is 50 times more powerful than vitamin E and 25 times more powerful
than vitamin C - two widely used ingredients in skin creams.
