In order to understand the magnitude of the discovery of potent and powerful antioxidants in the Muscadine Grape Seeds, one must understand a little about free radicals.

The ever increasing pollutants, radiation, and the body’s natural metabolism produce free radicals. Free radicals are unbalanced oxygen atoms due to a missing or damaged electron.  These predators try to replace the lost electrons by raiding other molecules.  This theft damages all DNA and tissue contacted until stopped by antioxidants or certain enzymes produced by the body.  Antioxidants readily give up electrons without becoming harmful.  As we age, our body’s production of antioxidant enzymes decreases and we see symptoms of the battle against free radicals in wrinkles, age spots, and stooped posture. 

NutraGrape™ now produces two health products specifically targeting the visible signs of aging.  The Vine® Facial Creme , NutraGrape’s antioxidantfacial cream and The Vine® Hand and Body lotion ,  are created with the same antioxidants proven to be healthful in both our wines and grapes.
