Grape Seed is one of the most potent anti-oxidants found in nature. Rich in bioflavonoids, radical fighters, it helps prevent damage to cells by free radicals, often called 'garbage cells'. This extract is at least 15 to 25 times more powerful than Vitamin E in neutralizing iron and oxygen free radicals.
Grape Seed extract is a medicinal herb used primarily for it's high proanthocyanidin content. Proanthocyanidin is a bioflavonoid which has demonstrated anti-oxidant properties.
It is thought to protect and strengthen connective tissue. Proanthocyanidins are also considered helpful in improving and preserving the elasticity of skin by stabilizing collagen and elastin. Grape seed extract's anti-oxidant properties have been used for treating inflammation.
Grape seed extract has gained in popularity over the years. It has been studied since the early 80's for its free radical scavenging effect and it's ability to inhibit histamine. This free radical scavenging effect has demonstrated itself to be 20 times more potent than either vitamin C or vitamin E.
Therapeutic benefits have been shown to be dose dependent. Its usage is considered safe for conception, and pregnancy.
Properly prepared Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidin has been said to yield a 95 % concentration of the Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin Complexes (OPCs).

The seed itself would have little if any nutritional value. They just go in and come out. Good Luck ! :)

Antioxidants!!!!! They disarm free radicals -- molecules that can damage DNA, cells, and tissues, eventually contributing to heart disease, cancer.... Grape seeds are a good natural source for it!
