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.

You may well think that Coke Zero has zero calories, zero fat and zero taste and that may well be true but it will not leave you with zero fat according to a report published in the Canadian Medical Associations Journal in July 2017. Nonnutritive sweeteners, such as aspartame, sucralose and stevioside, are widely consumed, yet their long-term health impact is uncertain and there is evidence that they may cause all sorts of long-term adverse cardiometabolic effects.
The report authors searched MEDLINE, Embase and Cochrane Library for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) relating to nonnutritive sweeteners and the effects that they had. They found that the consumption of nonnutritive sweeteners was associated with increases in weight and waist circumference, and higher incidence of obesity, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular events.
According to the lead author of the study, Dr. Ryan Zarychanski, ‘Despite the fact that millions of individuals routinely consume artificial sweeteners .. we found that data from clinical trials do not clearly support the intended benefits of artificial sweeteners for weight management… Caution is warranted until the long-term health effects of artificial sweeteners are fully characterised.’
So we see that no calories and no taste does not mean no fat – at least not on you.
