[What is Rhodiola Rosea]

Rhodiola Rosea (also known as Arctic root or golden root) is a member of the family Crassulaceae, a family of plants native to the arctic regions of Eastern Siberia. Rhodiola rosea is widely distributed  in Arctic and mountainous regions throughout Europe and Asia. It grows at altitudes of 11,000 to 18,000 feet above sea level.

There are numerous animal and test tube studies showing that rhodiola has both a stimulating and a sedating effect on the central nervous system; enhance physical endurance; improves thyroid, thymus, and adrenal function; protects the nervous system, heart and liver; and has antioxidant and anticancer properties.

Hypertension or high blood pressure is considered as a “silent killer” disease. In its first stage, hypertension may not present any symptom. A person may start having symptoms when there is already a complication that can lead to different serious health conditions. Nevertheless this critical health status can be prevented in numerous ways. Adjustment in diet and compliance with medication regimen are just some of the important activities in minimizing the dangerous outcome for people with hypertension. Notwithstanding antihypertensive medications can treat hypertension, just like any other medication, these can cause several side effects such as difficulty of breathing, insomnia, feelings of depression, hypotension and a decrease in sexual desire. According to the Food and Drug Administration, severe side effects associated with antihypertensive medications which require immediate medical attention include irregular heartbeat, fainting, chest pain and rash. Allergic reactions to antihypertensive medications are potentially fatal if not immediately treated (Goldsworthy, 2011).

These are some of the reasons why some people often seek for natural alternatives with preventive and curative effects, not devastating effects. It is the aspiration of the researcher to commence the wonders of the natural yields highlighting grapes and grape-seed extract as alternative medications in lowering blood pressure.

Grape seed extract is a natural plant substance that has a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPC). These anti-oxidants help protect cells from free radical damage and also promotes healthy circulation. Grape Seed Extract is rich in polyphenols, a compound that’s high in antioxidants. Studies have shown OPC to be more powerful antioxidants than vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene.

Before Grape seed extract was discovered, the best sources of antioxidants came from vitamin C, E, and beta-carotene; however, these sources were not powerful enough to fight the free radicals and are also excreted by the body within a short time of ingestion. Grape seed extract, on the other hand, has been shown to remain in the body for as long as 3 full days, and is 20 times more potent than vitamin C, and 50 times more stronger than Vitamin E.

The research done on Grape Seed Extract first came about in late 20th century from the “french paradox”, where the French had very low rates of heart disease, while some of their diet and other factors would contribute to higher incidence of heart diseases. Scientists believed the secret was in their red wine, and further research demonstrated that OPC present in their red wine promotes cardiovascular health, and now, grape seed extract has been found to contain the richest sources of OPCs. It can be said that grape seed extract is one of the most powerful antioxidants available.

Grape Seed Extract Benefits

There are countless studies that demonstrates the many health benefits of grape seed extract. It has been extensively research across the globe. In the research of Dr. Jacques Masquelier et al., the Pasteur & Huntington Institutes and 7 other leading Universities in Europe, Grape Seed Extract has been shown exceptionally effective fighting against free radicals in the body.

Many research publications have reported on the health benefits of grape seed extracts including antioxidant activity, improving cardiovascular health, and gastric health. There are also extensive research done on ActiVin grape seed extract (ActiVin is a well known brand of grape seed extract).

Below are some health benefits of grape seed extract:

Grape seed extract is one of the most powerful antioxidants that fights free radicals

Grape seed extract is 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E

Grape seed extract helps improve cardiovascular health

It also helps promote brain, skin and eye health

Grape seed extract is also anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory

Grape seed extract is one of the few antioxidants that can penetrate the blood brain barrier to help protect the brain and nerve tissue

Some studies have also shown grape seed extract to prevent the formation of plaque in the arteries

It can also improve mental alertness and help prevent senility.

5-HTP is a chemical compound that is naturally produced in your body as it makes serotonin, an important hormone for regulating your mood. Some doctors consider 5-HTP to be the best natural appetite suppressant. 5-HTP is also naturally produced in various plants, including the seeds of griffonia simplicifolia, a West African shrub. In addition to suppressing your appetite, there is some research that suggests that 5-HTP can also help treating headaches, insomnia, and depression.
