Another Age Old Supplement Comes to Life
It never ceases to amase me how many "recent studies" are proving what mankind has known about the health and healing properties of simple foods and herbs sense Biblical times.
Human case reports and results from laboratory and animal studies show that grape seed extract may be useful to treat heart diseases such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. By limiting lipid oxidation, phenolic in grape seeds may reduce risk of heart disease, such as by inhibiting platelet aggregation and reducing inflammation. While such studies are promising, more research including long-term studies in humans is needed to confirm initial findings.
A poly phenol contained in grape seeds is resveratrol which may interfere with cancer cell growth and proliferation, as well as induce apotheosis, among a variety of potential chemo-preventive effects.
Grape seed components may also be active against HIV by inhibiting virus expression and replication.
A Recent Study:
A team of scientists from the US and China have discovered that grape-seed extract kills laboratory leukemia cells by making them commit suicide, thus showing the potential value of natural compounds in the treatment of cancer.
