Zambroza Ingredients: Grape (Concord, red, skin, grape seed)
Grape juice, seed, and skin extracts (Vitis spp.) Scientists have measured the health properties of grapes and found that they contain the vitamins A, B and C, as well as thirteen minerals essential to human life. Grape seed extract (another ingredient in Zambroza) is rich in bioflavonoids (like reservatrol), that have powerful antioxidant properties.
- Reduces blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Prevents cardiovascular disease
- Fights arteriosclerosis, or the narrowing of the arteries
- Displays anti-viral properties
- Fights urinary tract infections
- Protects brain cells and brain function
- Reduces histamine-induced inflammation
- Protects and rejuvenates liver cells
- Prevents tumor growth
Concord grape concentrate contains anthocyanins, a class of flavonoids that give intense color to many fruits and vegetables. Epidemiological studies have indicated that the moderate consumption of anthocyanin-containing products is associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease and improvement of visual functions. In addition, concord grapes contain resveratrol, an antioxidant found in grapes and grape products, which demonstrates anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties.
Red grape concentrate - Red grapes contain resveratrol, a powerful antioxidant that exhibits anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. In addition, red grapes contain anthocyanins, which offer an array of health-promoting benefits such as antioxidant protection and cardioprotective effects. Red grapes have also been shown to inhibit the proliferation (growth) of human liver cancer cells in vitro.
Red grape skin extract is a rich source of polyphenols, antioxidant substances that protect the body's tissues against oxidative stress (free radical damage). One such polyphenol, resveratrol, helps reduce capillary permeability to prevent easy bruising and may also increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, thereby protecting against heart disease. Resveratrol is regarded as a powerful antioxidant that exhibits anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and antiviral properties. In addition, preliminary studies indicate that resveratrol acts as an estrogen receptor antagonist in the presence of estrogen, thus inhibiting the growth of human breast cancer cells. Furthermore, red grape skin extract has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation—a risk factor for coronary artery disease because it can lead to the formation of blood clots. Plus, research indicates that combining grape skin extract and grape seed extract provides greater antiplatelet effects than either substance alone
Red grape seed extract is known as a powerful antioxidant that protects the body from premature aging, disease and decay. Grape seeds contain a class of naturally occurring compounds known as< proanthocyanidins, which have been shown in scientific studies to have antioxidant power that is 20 times greater than vitamin E and 50 times greater than vitamin C. Many epidemiological studies indicate that consumption of dietary polyphenolic compounds is beneficial in the prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Other studies have shown that grape seed proanthocyanidins help protect the body from sun damage; enhance vision; improve flexibility in joints, arteries and body tissues such as the heart; and improve blood circulation by strengthening capillaries, veins and arteries. In addition, grape seed extract has been shown to inhibit platelet aggregation—a risk factor for coronary artery disease because it can lead to the formation of blood clots. Plus, research indicates that combining grape seed extract and grape skin extract provides greater antiplatelet effects than either substance alone. Furthermore, recent animal research has shown that grape seed extract inhibits human prostate tumor growth in mice.
