  • Grape Seed Extract

    I use to know a gal who had a basket full of every known vitamin and mineral supplement in the world next to her couch. I'll bet she spent $100s of dollars on them, but I don't recall her ever taking any. She was a vitamin junky and I guess there could be worse things to stick into your body, but before I spend a great deal of money, its wise to read the research..
    Anyway, first, this was a 4 week study on 24 folks so I don't think it is really that comprehensive, but they do know that GSE contains antioxidants and we all know that they are good for the treatment of cancer. But this article saids that it is also good for the treatment of cardiac disease by preventing the development of plaque in the arteries which can cause heart attacts.
    Also red grapes, including wine, have always been used by folk healers to treat a wide range of health problems, including cancer.
    I am of that age that anything to protect against High Blood Pressure and heart disease and cancer seems like a good choice for me. Look for a brand that has 95% OPC content (its active ingredient) and a 50 mg tablet is a good preventive amount. The FDA regards this as a safe supplement by the way.

    the only caution on that was only 24 folk took part and in the study and each group was only 8 folk. they will need to have amuch greater dad base to see if in fact the stuff actually producxed the effects or was it in fact a plecebo effect.

      That was my first thought 2big, The study was done at the Univ of Calif at Davis which is a pretty prestious university but those numbers really don't mean a lot. But on the other hand, anything that might help with cancer and heart disease is something to look into.
