Detox action is deeply linked to oxidative stress and our antioxidants status. Grape seeds are one of the richest extracts in antioxidants, particularly thanks to the proanthocyanidins (OPC).
OPC helps defend cells against damage caused by harmful molecules known as free radicals. When free radicals accumulate, they may cause oxidative stress. Fighting oxidative stress may help to maintain a functional liver.
The efficacy of grape seed OPC has been assessed in a preclinical study. After a high-calorie diet, grape seed OPC supplementation has been found to reduce the levels of stress markers in the liver.
