[Introduction:]

Grape Juice concentrate extract  powder is another powerful antioxidant. It strengthens and protects living tissue and aids in circulation. It is a super antioxidant, 20-50 times more powerful than vitamin C, E and beta-carotene. As we age, our bodies produce less antioxidant to combat the aging process and therefore need to supplement with these. Grape seed extract contain natural bioflavonoids called proanthocyanidins which help support the health of the cell membranes from free radical damage. It also provides cardiovascular protection by preventing oxidation of lipoproteins, making them less likely to stick to blood vessel walls.

[Main Function]

1) Flavors in seasoning packets for raspberry juice powder keep the original flavors

2) Colors in ice cream, cakes for beautiful brown color of raspberry juice powder

3) Also can be applied in drink mix, infant food, dairy product, bakery, candy and others

DESCRIPTION: Antioxidant intake from foods (not supplements) is associated with lower cancer risk.

But should we take a multivitamin? See Should We Take a Multivitamin?(https://nutritionfacts.org/video/should-we-take-a-multivitamin)

I recently covered how and why we should strive to eat antioxidants with every meal in an important three-part series:

1. Minimum “Recommended Daily Allowance” of Antioxidants (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/minimum-recommended-daily-allowance-of-antioxidants/)
2. How to Reach the Antioxidant “RDA” (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/how-to-reach-the-antioxidant-rda/)
3. Antioxidant Rich Foods With Every Meal (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-rich-foods-with-every-meal/)

Preferentially getting one’s nutrients from produce not pills is a common theme in the nutrition literature. See, for example:

• Are Iron Pills Good for You? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-iron-pills-good-for-you/)
• Can Folic Acid Be Harmful? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/can-folic-acid-be-harmful/)
• Produce, Not Pills to Increase Physical Attractiveness (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/produce-not-pills-to-increase-physical-attractiveness/)
• Greens vs. Glaucoma (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/greens-vs-glaucoma/)
• Cranberries versus Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cranberries-versus-cancer/)
• Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/)
• Optimal Phytosterol Source (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/optimal-phytosterol-source/)

Antioxidants may also slow aging (https://nutritionfacts.org/videos/mitochondrial-theory-of-aging/), reduce inflammation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/anti-inflammatory-antioxidants/), improve digestion (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/bulking-up-on-antioxidants/), and help prevent COPD (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/preventing-copd-with-diet/). So where are antioxidants found? See my series that starts with Antioxidant Content of 3139 Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-content-of-3139-foods/) and Antioxidant Power of Plant Foods Versus Animal Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/antioxidant-power-of-plant-foods-versus-animal-foods/).

What about the role of antioxidants in other leading causes of death? That’s the subject of my next video, Food Antioxidants, Stroke, and Heart Disease.
