Top 5 USANA Proflavanol C100 Benefits

I love all varieties of grapes.  With their sweetness & great flavor, grapes have been enjoyed for thousands of years. But in the last 50 years, scientific research has focused on specific parts of the grape for their potential health benefits.   They are also very rich in vitamin E and linoleic acid (a type of essential fatty acid). Grape seed flavonoids are powerful antioxidants that have evolved to protect the plants from the harmful effects of free radicals generated by the sun. The active ingredients in grape seeds are a group of closely related compounds called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) AKA procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs). You’ll also find OPCs in peanut skin, cranberries, blueberries, bilberries, pine bark and green and black teas, and in lower concentrations in grape skin, grape juice and in red wine. And grapes, like other fruit, are naturally rich in vitamin C which only adds to their antioxidant power. Research from the scientists at USANA has isolated the potent protective plant pigments from grape seeds, concentrated them & added antioxidant vitamin C to produce Proflavanol® C100. The key ingredients in Proflavanol C100 work together to boost each other’s health power. Let’s take a closer look at the Top 5 USANA Proflavanol C100 Benefits.

1. USANA Proflavanol C100  has Heart protectors keeping blood vessels healthy is one of the ways you can reduce heart disease risk and research suggests a strong role for dietary flavonoids such as OPCs in supporting and maintaining sound cardiovascular (heart and blood vessel) function. Plus, grape seed extract and vitamin C have been shown to improve antioxidant status and vascular (blood vessel) function.

 2. USANA Proflavanol C100 also fights Free radicals. Free radical damage is thought to contribute to ageing and also to chronic (long-term) health problems such as heart disease and cancers.

 3. Proflavanol C100 contains blood vessel boosters OPCs strengthen the structure of weakened blood vessels and have been shown to effectively treat vascular conditions. In France, prescribing OPCs to treat blood vessel problems is common. This is because laboratory studies have shown that OPCs can make blood vessels more elastic. They work by supporting collagen (a cross-linked matrix of fibres) by reinforcing its natural structure.

4. USANA Proflavanol C100 has healing agents.  After an illness, eating well and resting are a must. Getting plenty of fluids, enjoying a mixed diet including wholegrains, easy-to-digest proteins such as fish, tofu and eggs and plenty of seasonal fruits and vegetables are all important, too. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C needed for growth and repair of tissues and this delicate vitamin is needed daily because your body can’t store large amounts of it. Vitamin C helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin and to heal it; it’s also needed to make cartilage, ligaments and blood vessels needed for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth.

5. USANA Proflavanol C100 also has skin safe guarders.  We all know how important it is to protect the skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays. Over 80 percent of the damage to facial skin is due to sun damage and/or overexposure to glare produced by water and snow or due to wind damage. The sun ages skin by triggering free radical production; it also reduces the skin’s small reserves of vitamin C so getting enough of this important antioxidant can help boost your skin’s ability to filter UV light. Vitamin C works with vitamin E and with pl plants’ natural sunscreens (antioxidant pigments like lutein, beta carotene and lycopene) and the kind of OPCs in Proflavanol® C100. You can find antioxidants in many foods including fruits, vegetables and teas but in much smaller concentrations. While supplements boost youth from the inside, don’t rely on them and on diet alone – look for products with an SPF of 15 (such as Sensé Daytime Protective Emulsion which also contains Proflavanol TTM complex) or higher that block both UVA and UVB rays. Wear sunprotective clothing (a wide-brimmed hat, long sleeved shirt), and sunglasses that block the sun’s rays.

Proflavanol® C100 works in synergy with other vitamins.  This product can be found on our USANA Catalogue
