There’s strong evidence that grape seed extract is beneficial for a number of cardiovascular conditions. Grape seed extract may help with a type of poor circulation (chronic venous insufficiency) and high cholesterol. Grape seed extract also reduces swelling caused by injury and helps with eye disease related to diabetes.

Many people are interested in grape seed extract because it contains antioxidants. These are substances that protect cells from damage and may help prevent many diseases.

Grapes are native to Asia and were later introduced to Europe and North America, where many red, green and purple varieties are now cultivated.

Grape seed extract (GSE) has been scientifically proven to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. GSE is considered safe by the FDA and any serious side effects have not been reported.

GSE is an antioxidant that researchers support as boosting cardiac health. Proanthocyanidins are antioxidant compounds in grape seed extract, reportedly 50 times more effective than vitamin C for hampering free radicals. The supplement also contains flavonoids, vitamin E and linoleic acids.

Phytonutrients

Phytochemicals are reported to have pharmacologic actions that distinctively push a body process in one or another direction. This type substance has been discovered to be in a wide range of foods with health-enhancing benefits. They are termed phytonutrients.

The grape is a phytonutrient, which contains ellagic acid to block the body's production of cancer-helper enzymes. Research, using mice, proved the Concord grape as effective as the cancer drug methotrexate in putting the brake on cancer growth.

Grapes contain AHAs, substances that help peel dead skin cells from the face.
