Proanthocyanidins are another family of powerful antioxidants. They have been used as part of the herbs used in Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Proanthocyanidins are the other nutrient I would like to include for my sojourn on the proverbial island. Recent studies have shown proanthocyanidins to be 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times more potent than Vitamin E in anti-oxidant power! Its main effects in humans include:
-
Is an exceptional antioxidant
-
Prevents heart disease, strokes and cancer
-
Increases elasticity and strength of blood vessels
-
Inhibits inflammation
-
Enhances the bodys ability for collagen repair
-
Reverses appearance of aging
-
Removes amyloid (cause of age spots, Alzheimers and others)
Dosage: With the safety and utility of proanthocyanidins, it is a "must" for anyone interested in a comprehensive anti-aging program. 60-100mg/day seems to be an effective "anti-aging" dose.
