Short answer:<\/strong> Grape seed extract is a concentrate of the antioxidant compounds in grape seeds, mainly OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), and people take it for antioxidant support, skin and healthy circulation; the research is encouraging but still limited, and it is generally well tolerated. Side effects are usually mild, but ask your doctor first if you take blood-thinning medicine, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a medical condition. Our BIO Grape Seed tablets<\/a> hold 50 mg of French grape seed extract standardised to 95% OPCs in each tablet, taken as one tablet after each meal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

What is grape seed extract?<\/h2>\n

Grape seed extract comes from the seeds of wine grapes (Vitis vinifera<\/em>), usually a by-product of winemaking, extracted to concentrate their polyphenols. It is not the same as grape seed oil, the cooking oil, which is pressed for its fat and is not a source of standardised OPCs.<\/p>\n

What are OPCs, and why does \u201c95%\u201d matter?<\/h2>\n

OPCs, or proanthocyanidins, are the main antioxidant compounds in grape seeds. Our page puts it simply: they dissolve in both water and fat, so they work inside and outside the cell.<\/p>\n

Standardisation tells you how much of the extract is the active compound. Two products can both say \u201cgrape seed extract\u201d and deliver very different amounts of OPCs, so look for a stated percentage and the milligrams per tablet. BIO Grape Seed states 50 mg of grape seed extract per tablet, standardised to 95% OPCs, and our page says 120-130 grape seeds go into a single tablet.<\/p>\n

Grape seed extract benefits: skin, circulation and women<\/h2>\n

Grape seed extract is taken mainly as an antioxidant, to help the body cope with the free radicals that sun, pollution, smoking and stress produce. Research has looked at circulation and skin, but many studies are small or use different extracts, so the evidence is still building. Does it work? It can support a healthy routine, but it will not undo late nights or sun damage on its own, and it is not a medicine.<\/p>\n
