Muscadine Grape Seed
Muscadine Grape Seed contains higher levels of antioxidants than blackberries, black raspberries, blueberries, cranberries, red raspberries, and strawberries. This finding was established in the early 1990s by Mississippi State University , as well as by the National Institutes of Health. Because it is so much higher in antioxidants, Muscadine Grape Seed protects and restores Immune Function resulting in a wide variety of protection throughout the body.
Muscadine grapes are most commonly purple or bronze in color. Muscadines are quite robust compared to their puny anemic cousins — most of the grapes you may find in your local grocery store. Unfortunately, the majority of today’s grapes have been bred to remove the most nutritious part of the grape berry — the seeds. After all, most people don’t like to eat the seeds … or deal with spitting them out. Muscadines, however, are different. They contain seeds and thicker skin(90% of the nutritional health benefit of the grape is located in the skin and seeds). The Muscadine or the “All-American” grape is an entire constellation of powerful antioxidants.
Antioxodants play the role of “janitor” for your body. And they take their position very seriously. They go around mopping up excess free radicals before these pesky scavenger molecules get the chance to damage or destroy your body’s cells. In a perfect world, you’d be able to get all the antioxidants you need from a healthy diet alone.Unfortunately, there are just too many free radicals invading your body. So your bodies supply of in-house antioxidant “janitors” can’t keep up with all their chores, cleaning up the cell damaging messes made by the free radicals.
Muscadines natually contain an extra set of chromosomes that other grapes don’t have. These extra chromosomes contain genes that help create a phytochemical profile with a broader range of health-supporting potential than other grapes … particularly the ellagic acid family of compounds that are in muscadines — but virtually absent in other grapes. Ellagic acid is only one of the many phenomenal compounds found in muscadines. Many of these phytochemicals are antioxidants.
