Grapeseed Extract Protects the Brain and the Heart

Grapeseed extract is an antioxidant that defends fat cells against harmful free radicals - unstable oxygen molecules - and can play an important role in the protection of your brain.  Since the brain is composed of more than fifty percent fatty tissue, grapeseed extract can help prevent destruction of brain cells and offers protection against such diseases as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.  It also aids blood circulation and can reduce the dangers of heart disease and stroke and the development of cancerous tumors.  As an antioxidant, it is considered more powerful than vitamins C and E.
 
Because it helps prevent the formation of plaque in the arteries, promotes healthy circulation, and helps strengthen blood vessels, grapeseed extract protects your cardiovascular system.  Other benefits are that it improves blood flow in the blood vessels of the eye, which helps protect against macular degeneration and cataracts.  It has anti-inflammatory properties that help combat skin diseases, such as eczema and psoriasis, and is a natural antihistamine and can help control allergy symptoms.
 
The usual dosage of grapeseed extract, available in tablet, liquid, and capsule form, is 100 milligrams a day to receive antioxidant and cancer protection, and 100 milligrams three times a day for treatment of diseases.  There are no known side effects with long-term use and no known adverse drug interactions.
