HOW DOES A CAPSULE OF GRAPE SEED SUPREME COMPARE WITH A GLASS OF WINE?
Nutall et al2have found that a 300mg dose of Leucoselect Phytosome has produced a plasma antioxidant capacity increase comparable to that of the consumption of 5-7ml/kg of red wine per Kg body mass 7, which for a typical 70 kg person translates into approx 0.5 l or a half bottle of red wine. Considering the amount of Leucoselect and Biovin per capsule, we may extrapolate to say that one capsule of Grape Seed Supreme could be equivalent to one glass of red wine, without the detrimental effects of alcohol. Also, many red wines vary as much as 40 fold in Resveratrol content.
