What are the benefits of grape seed extract? Grape seeds are linked to a number of health benefits Health benefits associated with grape seed extract: •Healing wounds - Grape seed extract can heal dermal wounds. A study, published in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine1, "provided firm evidence to support that topical application of GSPE represents a feasible and productive approach to support dermal wound healing." •Improving bone strength - Including grape seed extract in your diet with calcium has a "beneficial effect on bone formation and bone strength for the treatment of bone debility caused by a low level of calcium," according to research published in the Journal of Musculoskeletal & Neuronal Interactions.2 •Preventing skin cancer - Grape seeds contain proanthocyanidins which can prevent the development of cancer. A study, published in the journal Molecular Nutrition & Food Research3, found that grape seeds have properties that can reduce the severity of skin cancer. The researchers concluded that grape seed extracts "could be useful in the attenuation of the adverse UV-induced health effects in human skin." •Cardiovascular benefits - The antioxidants in grape seed extract can potentially protect the blood vessels from becoming damaged, which may prevent high blood pressure. According to one study, published in the journal Mutation Research/Fundamental and Molecular Mechanisms of Mutagenesis4, "grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) provides superior antioxidant efficacy as compared to Vitamins C, E and β-carotene." •Reducing edema (swelling) - Taking grape seed extract can help reduce the swelling that occurs after an injury or surgery. •Preventing cognitive decline - Grape seed extract is very high in proanthocyanidins (oligomers of monomeric polyphenols) which may prevent cognitive decline.
