Grape Seeds

Grape seeds are rarely found in the grocery store varieties of grapes. Several years ago, scientists developed seedless grapes to please the American palate. Now scientists tell us that these same seeds contain a remarkable bioflavonoid complex known as Procyanidolic Oligomers ( PCO ), recently found to be 20 times more potent than vitamin C and 50 times more potent than vitamin E as an antioxidant. It has been found to be anti-inflammatory, antiallergic and antimutagenic.

Bioflavonoids are natural plant compounds that strengthen and protect living tissue. PCO is the most potent bioflavonoid of them all. Named for their deep reddish purple color, they are visible in the skins of blueberries, cherries and grapes. Additionally, they can be found in the barks of the lemon tree, Landis pine tree, and leaves of the hazel nut tree. Grape seeds are the most concentrated source of these unique compounds, yielding 95% when extracted. This is 10% higher then the yield obtained from pine bark, the next closest source.

Our bodies can not make bioflavonoids.
Bioflavonoids strengthen connective tissue, the network of collagen and elastin that holds everything in your body together. Bioflavonoids in fruits actually get incorporated into the connective tissue throughout your body, especially your blood vessels, joints and skin.

A great way to get bioflavonoids is by taking B-Safe which contains the ingredients described above.

Antioxidants and Free Radicals

Antixoidants And Free Radicals

Other antioxidants derived from your daily diet (example: vitamins A,C, and E) stop the free radical chain reactions once they have gegun. Molecules produced by your body, such as Coenzyme Q10, also have powerful antixidiant properties.

Recently, plant-based substances known as flavonoids have received considerable interest for thier antioxidant effects. But none is more powerful then the proanthocyanidins in grape seed extract which I will discuss in my next post.

Until then check out B-Safe which I have been using since 1997 to keep my arthritis at bay. 2 a day keeps me out of the doctors office :)
