Our bodies need help in order to live a long and healthy life. Modern growing techniques, food distribution, and food preparation are killing a lot of essential nutrients in our foods. We need these lost nutrients not only to live, but also to reduce the inflammatory effects of both water- and fat-soluble free radicals.
Therefore taking antioxidants daily helps reduce inflammations of any kind. Antioxidants strengthen our capillaries, arteries, veins, and blood vessel walls; they also improve circulation, joint flexibility, skin smoothness, and elasticity.
When choosing between the antioxidants Pycnogenol and Grape Seed Extract, let me tell you that both have an excellent research record and will have many similar, positive effects in the body.
Only three differences give Grape Seed Extract the edge.
First: A higher concentration of the active and essential nutrient Proanthocyanidin. Pycnogenol’s percentage varies from 85-90%, whereas Grapes Seed Extracts percentage of Proanthocyanidins runs between 92-95%.
Second: Only Grape Seeds contain compounds that are the most effective free radical scavengers.
Third: It’s far more economical to make and therefore cheaper to buy.
You could alternate them for a few months and see if you notice different improvements one way or another?
