Animal experiments show that chemicals extracted from grape seeds can effectively prevent skin cancer caused by long-term exposure to the sun, according to a report published at the 223th annual meeting of the American Chemical Society in Chicago Researchers at the University of Alabama used mice to do the experiment The researchers divided the mice into two groups One group ate proanthocyanidins extracted from grape seeds, the other group did not contain proanthocyanidins in their food, and the two groups received ultraviolet light at the same time Dr kaidil, who led the study, said at the conference that mice that had been exposed to violet light for a long time had skin cancer, but the group of mice that had Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidins in their food effectively inhibited the occurrence of skin cancer The mice who ate proanthocyanidins regularly had 65% less skin cancer than those who did not Even if the mice who ate proanthocyanidins had skin cancer, their cancer cells were 78% less than those in the other group "This experiment shows that regular supplementation of Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidins in food can effectively prevent skin cancer," said Dr kaidil One of the important properties of proanthocyanidins is that its antioxidant ability can effectively avoid the decline of the immune system caused by ultraviolet radiation, which was rarely mentioned before " In recent years, the incidence rate of skin cancer caused by sun exposure is very high In the United States alone, more than one million people suffer from various skin cancers every year Finding a drug to prevent and control skin cancer has become a hot topic in the medical field Grape seed extract procyanidins are generally found in the skin of fruits and the wood of plants Its main function is to protect the easily oxidized part of plants In the 1970s, French scientists found that grape seed is an important source of proanthocyanidins The content of proanthocyanidins in grape seed extract can be as high as 95% Previous studies have shown that procyanidins extracted from grape seeds have a wide range of functions Proanthocyanidins, extracted from grape seeds for the prevention of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, have been used to improve vascular resistance and reduce capillary permeability Its antioxidant and anti enzyme effects have been proved by experiments Proanthocyanidins can effectively reduce cholesterol and LDL levels, prevent thrombosis, and help prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases In Europe and America, grape seed extract enjoys the reputation of "skin vitamin" and "oral cosmetics" The collagen and elastin contained in the skin play an important role in the whole structure of the skin Grape seed extract can promote the proper cross-linking of collagen, effectively remove free radicals, and make the skin smooth and smooth The effect of Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidins on improving eyestrain was tested in human body 75 patients with eyestrain who had been working in front of the screen for a long time were given 300 mg of Grape Seed Extract Proanthocyanidins every day Two months later, their relative sensitivity and objective symptoms were significantly improved.
