Oligomeric proanthocyanides is the full name of the abbreviation OPC. These are secondary plant substances and antioxidants, the effectiveness of which was already philosophized by the ancient Romans. However, the wholesomeness of grapes did not disappear with the Roman Empire - on the contrary. Grapeseed oil serves as a supplier of high-quality ingredients and is mainly used in healthy and light cuisine. As a dietary supplement, grape seed extract can support health and well-being.

The so-called free radicals have been gaining more and more attention in our consciousness for a long time. These are substances that damage body cells and accelerate cell aging. This in turn is also reflected in an aging complexion. Antioxidants as opponents of free radicals ensure that they are rendered harmless and eliminated. This is the only way cells in a wide variety of tissues - for example nerve, muscle and connective tissue - can perform their function properly.

Grape seeds - power from small seeds

Grape seeds can not only support the fight against free radicals. The fight against cell-damaging UV radiation can also be supported by the supply of grape seeds. Grape seed oil can strengthen cell formation in many ways. In this way, irritated, sensitive and dry skin can also be improved. Last but not least, skin aging can be prevented with the help of a healthy diet and reduced exposure to direct sunlight. Fresh grapes, with their high-quality ingredients and delicious taste, are ideal as a summer highlight in fruit salads or desserts.
An extract from grape seeds, on the other hand, concentrates on the effective nutrients and ingredients and bundles them in a highly concentrated "vital powder". An already healthy whole-food diet is thus enhanced many times more than just the fresh grapes themselves.
By the way - so that grape seeds can develop their effectiveness, they should not be swallowed whole, as the digestive tract cannot process them. They must be chewed finely, consumed as a powder or as a valuable extract. Consumption in the form of a dietary supplement is the simplest and most effective option.
