Grape seed
contains a high level of proanthocyanidins, also known as OPCs,which belong to the flavonoid family, a class of water-soluble plant pigments.OPCs have antioxidant activity and they play a role in the stabilization ofcollagen and maintenance of elastin. These two proteins are found inconnective tissues that support organs, joints, blood vessels and muscle.OPCs have been shown to strengthen capillaries, improve aspects of vision,and prevent abnormal blood clotting in smokers.In Japan, the anti-cataract activity of OPCs from grape seed extract was investigated in hereditary cataractous rats. The results suggest that OPCsand their antioxidative metabolites prevented the progression of cataractformation by their antioxidative action. Hence supplementation of OPCs fromgrape seed extract may offer protection against progression of cataract.
Bilberry
has a long history of use, both as food and medicine. Its use wasacknowledged when Second World War pilots noticed their night visionimproved after they ate bilberry. Since then, bilberry has been used forvarious eye conditions such as cataracts and macular degenerations, as wellas blood vessel problems including varicose veins and ulcers. Bilberry hasantioxidant actions, and helps to strengthen capillaries and relax smooth muscle. Russian researchers explored that supplementation of bilberry extractprevented impairments in the lenses and retina in senesce-accelerated OXYSrats, which was used as models for macular degeneration and senile cataract.The findings indicate that long-term supplementation with bilberry extract isuseful in prevention of macular degeneration and cataract, which are themajor cause of blindness and acuity of vision deterioration in the elderly.
Ginkgo Biloba
is the world’s oldest living tree species. Its leaves have beenused in modern herbal medicine. Ginkgo has many valuable effects includingstabilising cell membranes, reducing free radical damage, improving bloodcirculation and enhancing oxygen and glucose use. It is particularly beneficial for brain, nerves and blood vessels.
