What are Proanthocyanidins?
Proanthocyanidins are currently the subject of intense scientific interest, because
they are the principal vasoactive polyphenols in red wine which is linked to a
reduced risk of coronary heart disease and to lower overall mortality.
Unlike most other nutritional supplements, the beneficial effects of
proanthocyanidins cross the blood-brain barrier. This enables
proanthocyanidins to fight free radicals in the vessels of the brain that in turn will
help them remain healthy. This can result in increased mental acuity, a decreased
potential for stroke, and possibly in fighting senility.
Proanthocyanidins can be found in many plants, most notably pine bark, grape
seed, grape skin, and red wines of Vitis vinifera. However, bilberry, cranberry,
black currant, green tea, black tea, and other plants also contain these
flavonoids. The black chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa), has the highest
measured concentrations of proanthocyanidins found in any plant to date.

The benefits of proanthocyanidins include:
- Antioxidant protection against free radicals and DNA damage
- Cardioprotection (reduces risk of athersclerosis)
- Reduces cancer risk
- Improves vascular strength (stronger blood vessels)
- Reduces edema (inflammation/swelling)
- Promotes eye health (reduces risk of macular degeneration and cataracts)
- Selective toxicity to human breast-, lung-, and gastric-cancer cells
- Protection against drug-induced liver and kidney damage, tobacco-induced
DNA damage, UV-induced skin damage, and chemotherapy-induced toxicity - Prevention of heart damage from oxygen deprivation strengthening blood
vessels, repairing varicose veins, reducing leg edema, enhancing
microcirculation - Stimulation of collagen synthesis, protection and restoration of damaged
membranes and connective tissue, including the blood-brain barrier; - Prevention, amelioration, or reversal of chronic pancreatitis, asthma, lupus,
diabetic retinopathy, and deep vein blood clots.
