The beneficial properties of grape polyphenols
In fact, numerous scientific studies have shown the efficacy of grape polyphenols in improving the properties of the skin, digestive, cardiovascular and cognitive systems. Important studies on its potential beneficial effects consider the important role they could play in improving the conditions of diseases such as cancer and diabetes, in addition to inflammatory processes.
The so-called "French paradox", a curious nutritional evidence, reflected in a study that analyzed the impact on longevity by adopting a low-risk lifestyle, was the forerunner of many of today's scientific studies focused on the beneficial properties of grape polyphenols. This paradox showed how in France the incidence in cardiovascular disease cases was much lower than in the United States, although, in France, the consumption of saturated fats per inhabitant was much higher. The secret: their moderate consumption of red wine.
Today, grape seed and grape skin extract is used in the elaboration of multiple products in the food market, in dietary supplements, as an enriching component in animal compound feed, in the composition of medicinal products and, in a growing trend, in the production of cosmetic items.
