Regrapex-R®

whole grape extract enriched with resveratrol

Our extract maintains the natural balance of all biologically active components (polyphenolic acids, flavanols, flavonoids, anthocyanins and OPC´s - oligomeric proanthocyanidins) of red grapes, grown in Southern France and produced under the European Community rules for environmentally controlled agriculture. Such balanced whole grape extract has been shown in the scientific literature to be superior to a manipulated product in reducing blood cholesterol.

It is known that the polyphenols contained in red wine are responsible for the s.c. “French paradox,” i.e. why did the French in the South who used to consume a lot of red wine regularly have lower frequency of cardiovascular diseases compared to the other populations? Red wine polyphenols and particularly resveratrol and its analogs are powerful antioxidants and free-radical scavengers which were shown to have salutary cardiovascular effects. Resveratrol was shown to lower the blood fats and cholesterol levels, as well as the intrinsic hypertensive agent endothelin-1. Also, resveratrol was found to be a natural regulator of cellular growth, suggesting cancer preventative value.

scientific references

Resveratrol is not an indispensable component of red grapes or wine. It is synthesized by Vitis vinifera, as needed, as a defense against parasites. Once abundant (up to 8 - 20 mg per liter) in red wine, it is now almost absent due to the use of pesticides. Our Regrapex-R® is enriched with this important compound, which is extracted from other plants, and standardized to a minimum of 100 mg trans-resveratrol per 1gram.

This product is prepared, analyzed and certified under Good Manufacturing Practice rules in a plant inspected by the National Regulatory Authorities.
