We also include Resveratrol and Viniferin from Vine Shoot extract, giving our Vitamin C the plus from the famous French Paradox. This expression grew from the fact that the French eat an enormous amount of fats, especially butter, in their rich diet, yet have very few cardiovascular problems when compared to other nationalities. Scientists have found this may be due to the Resveratrol consumed when French people drink red wine. The Vine Shoot extract provides Carotec s Vitamin C with Masquelier s Grape OPC Plus with biologically active Resveratrol and Viniferin. Resveratrol from the fresh grape vine shoots and from grape skins is known for its cardiovascular protection as well as its tremendous immune support.
Research also shows it to be neuroprotective good for the nerves.
The companion compound, Viniferin is especially supportive of the liver and makes an ideal adjunct to this supplement. We ve designed it so that one or two capsules a day is excellent supplementation for anyone. With Masquelier s Grape OPC present, the vitamin C activity lasts longer and is more effective. The amount of supplement necessary to provide superior health benefits is, therefore, far less. The health benefits of taking these anti-scurvy nutrients are legion because ascorbic acid with OPC work together to optimize connective tissue proteins in your body.
