Discover the Benefits of Grape Seed Extract and WHY You Should Take Grape Seed Extract

Grape Seed Extract is one of those very rare natural remedies that actually does produce amazing benefits. I personally have used grape seed extract for years and quite frankly without it I may not have been able to be alive today, writing this article on the benefits of grapeseed extract.

I'm not going to post any unbelieveable online testimonials that may be true and then again may be as phony as a 3 dollar bill or tell you that grape seed extract cures everything from hangnails to prostate cancer. Instead, I am simply going to share with you what I know or have learned about grapeseed extract personally, throw in some scientific research to back up what I say as being potentially true, and you can judge for yourself the credibility of the information I pass on in regards to the benefits of grape seed extract.

Grapeseed extract relieves pancreatitis pain

I personally discovered grape seed extract in 1994 and thought that its benefits were simply to good to be true but I gave it a try because I had chronic pancreatitis and sometimes acute pancreatitis episodes and quite frankly I was searching for some way to beat the condition.

I found out the proclaimed benefits of grapeseed extract are true, at least in my case, as real and true as the nose on your face. I don't recall exactly how long it was before I saw some real benefit but I don't believe it was more than a few weeks. I started feeling better, the pain began to be less frequent and the tenderness in my abdomen began to fade. You can read all about it here: My Living with Pancreatitis Story

Grape Seed Extract Contains OPC's

Grapeseed Extract is full of flavonoids, called OPC's (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), and it is these flavonoids that seem to be responsible for the benefits seen by those who consume grape seed extract.

Previously I mentioned that I believe it is because of grape seed extract I am still alive and in essence that is what I believe but there are several other factors involved as well such as a particularily low fat diet and several dietary supplements, one of which is grapeseed extract. You can read my blog here: My Living with Pancreatitis blog

Jacques Masquelier (aka Jack Masquelier, born in 1922 in Paris, died 24 February 2009) is the French scientist credited with the discovery of oligomeric proanthocyanidins or OPCs.

Masquelier actually discovered OPC's in the skin of peanuts however he went on to find it in grape seed and French Maritime Pine Bark as well, developed an extraction process and then proceeded to trade name his product Pycnogenol. In other words nobody, neither manufacturer or seller of grapeseed and/or pine bark products, can call their concoction Pycnogenol, except Masquelier who is now dead as of 2009.

Masquelier promoted that his Pycnogenol could relieve symptoms of or cure almost anything, from hangnails to cancer. Other promoters say similar things but I rely only on what I can discern from my own personal experience and scientific research I have been able to dig up.

Research on Grape Seed Extract

I have my own personal experience to draw from but you don't know me from Paul Bunyan so it is important that you do your own research on grape seed extract and I have compiled some sources here for you to begin with. In fact I will post any new research I come across here at this site so that you can have a "One Stop Shop" so to speak on the benefits of grapeseed extract.
