Grape extract increases energy production in cells - In a 2006 study, a group of athletes in Belgium was given 400mg of Bordeaux grape extract per day. Results included a 14% increase in lipophile antioxidant capacity, a 60% increase in vitamin C, and a 96% increase in ubiquione, an antioxidant involved in energy production in cells. More...
Grape extract improves athletic performance and recovery. A group of twenty athletes, aged between 18 and 34 took part in the study, a collaboration between researchers from Avantage Nutrition and the French Agronomic Research Institute (INRA). the athletes were given 400mg of Bordeaux extract per day. Results indicate that the grape extract could reduce the risk of muscular damage, improve the explosive sports performance during effort, improve recovery capacity after effort, and improve the antioxidant status in athletes.

Vindure combination benefits heart and brain. 54 sedentary adults were given a mixture of 400mg red wine grape extract, 400mg of Resveratrol, and 100mg of Quercetin. Results included improved (decreased) submaximal heart rate, improved neurocognitive performance, and improved memory. By Dr. James Smoliga of Marywood University. More...
Grape extract reduces heart disease risk. Conducted by UC Davis cardiovascular researchers in 2006, the study was the first human clinical trial to assess the effect of grape extract on people with metabolic syndrome, a combination of risk factors that increase the risk for heart disease, including high blood pressure, excess abdominal body weight, high blood cholesterol fats and high blood sugar. In 24 patients, the extract lowered blood pressure by 8-12 points. More...
Grape extract reduces incidence of heart attacks. A study at the University of Wisconsin of 15 adults with coronary artery disease discovered that the flavenoids in red grapes may prevent cardiovascular events. A 14 day supplementation improved endothelial function and reduced the susceptibility of LDL cholesterol to oxidation. More...
Beneficial Effects of Quercetin. At the University of Western Australia, in Perth, a study using 200mg of quercetin found that dietary flavonoids may improve endothelial function and ultimately lead to beneficial cardiovascular effects. More...
Resveratrol may block colon cancer. Dr. Randall Holcombe, director of clinical research at the Cancer Center at UC Irvine, followed up on previous in vitro studies showing that Resveratrol blocks a cellular signaling pathway known as the WNT pathway. The WNT pathway has been linked to more than 85 percent of sporadic colon cancers, which is the most common form of colon cancer. More...
Quercetin prevents illness in stressed subjects. In 2007 researchers at Appalachian State University proved in a double blind DARPA funded study that Quercetin is able to reduce illness and maintain mental performance in physically stressed test subjects. More...
