Herbal Combination Proves Helpful With Heart Disease
By: Brigitte Synesael
t has now been established that more than 60 human diseases
involve free-radical damage, including heart disease, cancer, and
the acceleration of the aging process. All that you really need to know
is that your body is under constant free radical attack, and that you
need to keep your antioxidant defenses strong.
Certain types of bioflavonoids have been found to significantly
surpass other known antioxidants in their ability to scavenge free
radicals. One group of bioflavonoids, specifically known as proanthocyanidins, have extraordinary anti-oxidant capabilities.
Studies have shown that leucoanthocanins derived from grape seed
are practically devoid of any oral toxicity. Even extremely high doses administered over sustained periods of time showed no toxicity or side effects. Grape seed extracted proanthocyanidins have been shown
to be safe for conception, pregnant women and the unborn fetus.
There is enormous potential of grape seed flavonoids to prevent
cellular deterioration or uncontrolled growth. Several investigations
have shown that if they are taken daily, the benefits for people
suffering from cardiovascular diseases and breast tumors is impressive.
John Folts, PhD, director of the Coronary Artery Thrombosis Research and professor of medicine recently conducted a study using a formulation containing grapeseed flavonoids, grape skin, Ginkgo biloba and bilberry extracts. The results showed that this combination was able to reduce platelate activity by about 52%. Because of the powerful antioxidant nature of this composition, it is considered superior to the traditionally used aspirin.
