Grape Seed
Extract
Antioxidant-rich supplement derived from grape seeds, primarily used for cardiovascular, antioxidant, and skin health benefits.
Grape seed extract (GSE) is derived from Vitis vinifera seeds and is rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and other polyphenols. It is widely used to support cardiovascular function, provide antioxidant protection, and promote skin health, based on moderate clinical and mechanistic evidence.
Benefits for cardiovascular support and antioxidant protection have moderate evidence, while skin and anti-aging effects have limited but promising data.
Supports cardiovascular health and blood pressure
ModerateSupplementation with GSE may lower systolic blood pressure and improve endothelial function, likely through increased nitric oxide and reduced inflammation.
Provides antioxidant protection
ModerateGrape seed extract is a strong source of proanthocyanidins, which exhibit potent antioxidant properties, protecting cells from oxidative stress and free radical damage.
Promotes skin elasticity and anti-aging
LimitedStudies suggest GSE supplementation can improve skin hydration, elasticity, and reduce wrinkles, potentially due to collagen stabilization and anti-inflammatory effects.
