- LEUCOSELECT® PHYTOSOME® Composition
LEUCOSELECT® is extracted only from Vitis vinifera L. seeds and has well-defined chemical composition:
- 15% (+)-catechin, (-)-epicatechin
- 80% (-)-epicatechin gallate, dimers, trimers, tetramers and their gallates
- 5% pentamers, hexamers, heptamers and their gallates

- LEUCOSELECT® PHYTOSOME® Benefits
The high content (80%) smaller size OPCs is critical for bioactivity, since the absorption procyanidins decreases with the oligomerization degree. It is formulated with Phytosome® technology for optimized bioavailability, creating LEUCOSELECT® PHYTOSOME®.
LEUCOSELECT® PHYTOSOME® is useful for cardiovascular health particularly due to the increase antioxidant defenses. The human studies show that this ingredient can:
- improve total antioxidant capacity plasma in healthy volunteers
- improve plasma oxidative status in healthy volunteers after a fatty meal
- reduce LDL susceptibility to oxidative stress in heavy smokers
- improve oxidative stress in humans with impaired glucose homeostasis
- improve life conditions and immune function in elderly people challenged by various conditions linked to the aging processes
- Is easy to formulate as stand-alone, easy to combine with multi-component formulations and has versatile formulation options.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Leucoselect® Phytosome® into Action
- Thanks to OPC’s antioxidant activity, Leucoselect® Phytosome® has shown relevant biological activity in human studies, with a real positive effect on antioxidant capacity, in particular improving antioxidant capacity of plasma and protecting LDL from oxidation in heavy smokers.
- Furthermore, Leucoselect® Phytosome®can affect positively oxidative status of people with impaired glucose homeostasis and life conditions and immune function of elderly people challenged by aging.
