But what exactly is a grape polyphenol?

Polyphenols are chemical substances found in plants that have more than one phenol group on them. There are hundreds of types of polyphenols found in plants of all types, including grapes.  The polyphenols are responsible for how foods taste, their color, and how they feel in your mouth.  They are water soluble.

Grape and plant polyphenols can be divided into two categories – flavonoids and non-flavonoids.  Some of the flavonoids found in grapes are similar to the bioflavonoids found in the yellow part of the rind of oranges and grapefruit. In grapes, sun exposure increases the concentration of flavonoids.  These compounds include anthocyanins and tannins.  Anthocyanins are responsible for grapes to turn color when ripe.  Tannins are chemical compounds that are astringent, or make your mouth pucker.  In red wine, flavonoids make up about 90% of the polyphenolic compounds.

One flavonoid found in grapes is Quercetin, which is a component of Vindure 900.  Others include ellagic acid, kaempferol, and myricetin.

Resveratrol is one of the non-flavonoid compounds.

When grapes are made into wine, the skin of the grape increases the amount of polyphenols in the wine.  Red wine has a greater amount of polyphenols than white wine because white wine does not have contact with the skin of the grape.  Aging wine in oak barrels increases the polyphenol content by increasing a phenol called vanillin.  Vanillin gives these wines a vanilla aroma.

Vinomis wants you to have all the polyphenol power you can get.  That’s why they include not only Resveratrol, but also Quercetin and grape polyphenols together in Vindure 900.  With this winning combination, you can only experience benefits.
