Proflavanol® C100

Prized for their sweetness and distinct flavours, grapes have been enjoyed for thousands of years. In the last half century or so, scientific research has focussed on specific parts of grapes for their potential health benefits including the fruits themselves, grape skin and grape seeds.
They are also rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid (a type of essential fatty acid). Grape seed flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that have evolved to protect the plants from the harmful effects of free radicals generated by the sun. The active ingredients in grape seeds are a group of closely related compounds called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) AKA procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs). You’ll also find OPCs in peanut skin, cranberries, blueberries, bilberries, pine bark and green and black teas, and in lower concentrations in grape skin, grape juice and in red wine. Like other fresh fruits, grapes are naturally rich in vitamin C which adds to their antioxidant power. 
USANA’s research and development scientists have isolated the potent protective plant 
pigments from grape seeds, concentrated them and added antioxidant vitamin C to produce 
the unique Proflavanol® C100. These two key ingredients work together to boost each other’s 
health power. Let’s take a closer look at the health boosting properties of Proflavanol® C100 
and the dynamic duo themselves!
