What is Grape Skin extract?

Grape skin extract are industrial derivatives from whole grape seeds that have a great concentration of vitamin E, flavonoids, linoleic acid, and OPCs. Typically, the commercial opportunity of extracting grape seed extract constituents has been for chemicals known as polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins recognized as antioxidants.

Grape skin extract is rich in Oligomers Procyanidin Complexes (OPC) , which is a powerful antioxidant. In addition to the ultra rich potence of over 20 times higher than Vitamin C. Grape skin extract is also 50 times better than Vitamin E. Grape skin extract helps to strengthen the immune system, and also slowdown the aging process, which is of very high market value. Procyanidin B2, which is the most active compound to neutralize free radicals that cause aging, is available only in Grape Seed.

In Europe, OPC from grape skin extract proanthocyanidins has been adopted and used for several decades as a safe and effective compound. Grape skin extract has no record of any acute or chronic toxicity, no harmful reaction even under very high dosage. For these reasons, grape skin extract proanthocyanidins has become a new star in the food supplement market.

We we review multiple In-Vitro studies confirming the potential of Grape Seed extract no only helping to remineralize dentin, but remineralize the enamel itself.

DESCRIPTION: Dietary strategies, including the use of black pepper (piperine), can boost blood levels of curcumin from the spice turmeric by up to 2,000%.

Why would we care about boosting curcumin levels? I started talking about this golden spice pigment in Which Spices Fight Inflammation? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/which-spices-fight-inflammation) and Spicing Up DNA Protection (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/spicing-up-dna-protection) and then moved on to treating actual clinical conditions in Turmeric Curcumin and Rheumatoid Arthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis) and Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis). Next I’ll end this video series with some cautionary notes in Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I’ve previously covered this topic of food synergy in videos such as Apples and Oranges: Dietary Diversity (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/apples-and-oranges-dietary-diversity/) and Garden Variety Anti-Inflammation (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/garden-variety-anti-inflammation/) that emphasize the importance of eating a variety of plant foods to take advantage of some of these interactions.

The black pepper mechanism reminds me of the grapefruit (Tell Your Doctor If You Eat Grapefruit, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/tell-your-doctor-if-you-eat-grapefruit/) and broccoli (The Best Detox, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-detox/) stories. A testament to the power of plants (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/power-plants/).

The painkilling properties of aspirin mentioned in the video are actually found throughout the plant kingdom: Aspirin Levels in Plant Foods (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/aspirin-levels-in-plant-foods/).

In some circumstances, traditional medicine wisdom seems incredible (Tomato Effect, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-tomato-effect); in others, dangerous (Get the Lead Out, https://nutritionfacts.org/video/get-the-lead-out). But that’s what we now have science for!

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin/ and he’ll try to answer it!
