How to Best Absorb Grapeseed Extract

Grapeseed extract belongs to a group of naturally occurring substances known as oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). They are present in a wide variety of plants and food sources and act as powerful antioxidants, as well as helping to strengthen capillaries, boost immune function, prevent varicose veins, repair connective tissue and assist with allergy control.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Grapeseed Extract
• Pycnogenol
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin E

1. Buy a product which contains at least 80% proanthocyandins. This helps assure antioxidant activity.
2. Take at the same time as your other vitamins. It works synergistically with vitamins.
