1. Anti-free radicals

Antioxidants eliminate free radicals and prevent them from damaging human cells. Protect human organs and tissues, prevent and treat more than 100 diseases caused by free radicals, including heart disease, cancer, premature aging, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, etc.

Grape seed extract (OPC) has very strong in vivo activity. Experiments have shown that OPC's ability to resist free radical oxidation is 50 times that of vitamin E and 20 times that of vitamin C.

Grape seed extract is one of the most effective plant-derived antioxidants discovered so far. In vivo and in vitro tests have shown that the antioxidant effect of grape seed extract is 30-50 times that of vitamin C and vitamin E. Its super strong antioxidant efficiency has a powerful effect in removing free radicals and enhancing human immunity. Grape seed extract is rich in bioflavonoids and is a powerful essence molecule that is used to fight free radicals and maintain the health of capillaries. (Free radicals are one of the important causes of aging and many diseases. It is estimated that about 80%-90% of aging and degenerative diseases are related to free radicals. Therefore, grape seed extract has excellent effects on human antioxidants and improving immunity).

2. Lower blood lipids

Grape seed extract is rich in more than 100 effective substances, among which unsaturated fatty acid - linoleic acid (which is essential to the human body but cannot be synthesized) accounts for 68-76%, ranking first among oil crops. It consumes 20% of cholesterol from unsaturated to saturated state, which can effectively lower blood lipids.

3. Protect your skin

The youthfulness of the human body depends largely on the flexibility of its structural tissues. This ensures the elasticity of the natural connection network of various parts of the body, and the antioxidant effect of grape seed extract can protect structural tissues from being damaged by free radicals, thereby delaying aging.
