Grape Seed
Grape seed extract is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds. These antioxidants, called oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes or OPCs, help fight free radicals and may prevent various illnesses. Most of the claims made concerning grape seed extract aren't backed up by large clinical studies, but some evidence indicates it may help symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency and other cardiovascular illnesses.
Certain compounds in grape seed extract are natural anticoagulants. These compounds may interact with medications, and therefore should be taken under medical supervision.2‘Grape Seed Extract.’ National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, www.nccih.nih.gov/health/grape-seed-extract
