The power of the grape is in the antioxidants that are found in the red grape. According to research, grape seed polyphenols, which are antioxidant compounds found in grape seeds, form a protective layer on the skin and stimulate the renewal of cells and collagen. Polyphenols also clear up free radicals, which damage and age cells. The free-radical protection from grape-seed polyphenols is unequalled in the plant world. Dr Fredric Brandt, best known as the king of Botox, suggests that concentrated levels of grape antioxidants can retard and even reverse skin damage caused by free radicals.

Many of the Wine therapy treatments also feature Resveratrol which is contained in grape vines. Resveratrol acts like a natural antibiotic to protect the vines against ultraviolet light and keep the vine looking healthy in the sun. Research has found out how to extract this from the vines and use this in skin treatments, as it firms the surface, improves elasticity and stimulates cell multiplication.

Grapes, Good for your skin! Great for your body! Grape seed extract may prove to be very beneficial in the fight against heart disease given these findings. The antioxidant found in grape seed extract assists the body in neutralizing free radicals, not only externally, but internally as well.   This helps to prevent cell damage and supports the body in repairing any damage already inflicted. The most active and powerful antioxidant found in grape seed extract is oligomeric procyanidins (OPC). This has been identified as the agent which helps to strengthen the blood vessels. OPC was first isolated from the skin of a red peanut in the year 1947 by a chemist in France, Dr. Jack Masquelier who was associated with the school of medicine at the University of Bordeaux. Later, it was discovered that this powerful substance was also found in red wine and grapes. Eventually, OPC became available as a supplement in grape seed extract form. One can obtain the health benefits from eating grapes, drinking wine (no more than 1 - 2 glasses a day depending on the study you read), or taking the supplements which are available in tablets or tinctures. Side effects from grape seed extract are rare and usually a result of reaction to the combining agents or fillers in the product. Therefore it is extremely important to buy standardized herbs at all times. Grape seed extract can be purchased from your health food store or from one of many online stores. Grape seed extract has enjoyed great popularity over the last two decades due to its well deserved reputation as the most powerful antioxidant, so it is produced by several companies and is readily available and affordable. No matter how you indulge, Red grapes are a good thing. Next time you’re at the supermarket, you may think twice about passing up red seeded grapes for green seedless ones.
