PROFLAVANOL

   PROFLAVANOL - FOR CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH   

         WHY PROFLAVANOL?          
Proflavanol is a key weapon in your antioxidant arsenal. In producing this product, USANA uses the highest quality grape seed extract. Coupled with our exclusive formulated product, Poly C, the free-radical scavengers in Proflavanol provide you with an important tool in the quest for good health.

Proflavanol contains 30mg of grape seed extract and offers antioxidant protection that’s right for you.

It provides an antioxidant formula based on a synergistic combination of grape seed bioflavonoids and Poly C.It is clinically proven to promote sound cardiovascular health.

          WHAT IS IN GRAPE SEED EXTRACT?          

What you may not know is that grape seed extract contains a vast array of health-giving ingredients, such as protein, lipids, carbohydrates and polyphenols (which come mainly in the form of flavonoids, also known as bioflavonoids).

The term flavonoid is used for a class of plant chemicals known for their activity as highly potent antioxidants, and therefore for their capability in protecting the body against oxidative and free radical damage. It’s not really surprising when you consider the scientific studies: they show that the antioxidant power of polyphenols is 20 times more powerful than vitamin E, and 50 times greater than vitamin C. 

Some people call these polyphenols “nature’s biological response modifiers” because of their ability to help the body fight viruses, allergens, and carcinogens.

That means that among their many talents, they exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-cancerous and anti-microbial activity. 

Luckily, you don’t have to drink litres of wine or grape juice, or eat sacks of grape seeds to get these helpful chemicals into your body.

Thanks to modern technology, we now have high-quality grape seed extract in the form of supplements. 

    PROCYANIDIN: THE SECRET ANTI AGING VITAMIN?     

One particular type of phenol found in grape seed is called procyanidin.

Procyanidins are thought to protect the body from premature aging.

Scientists think they do this by increasing vitamin C levels in the cells and scavenging for toxins so the organs can get rid of them.

Procyanidins also bond with collagen, the most abundant protein in the body and a key component of skin, gums, bones, teeth, hair and body tissues.

The bonding promotes cell health and skin elasticity, making it seem more youthful, in a process that works almost like a natural face-lift. Procyanidins additionally help protect the body from sun damage, which can also cause premature aging of the skin.
