Whole Grape Extract Displays Benefits in Cholesterol Reduction

By: Lisa Olivo

A study published in the Journal of Functional Foods has established the benefits of a whole grape extract (WGE) on cholesterol balance, total cholesterol and antioxidant effects.
 
Scientists from KGK Synergize administered 350 mg daily of VinCare, a patented WGE from Ethical Naturals Inc. (ENI) to 24 human subjects in a six-week randomized, double-blind, placebo controlled trial. They found that the VinCare group experienced significantly increased HDL-cholesterol (“good” cholesterol) levels compared to the placebo group. Moreover, the study found that levels of 8-isoprastane (a marker of oxidative stress) and oxidized LDL (a risk factor for heart disease) fell for the extract group.
 
Given that all subjects exhibited symptoms for either pre-hypertension, overweight, pre-diabetes, or a combination, the results are particularly promising for population health.
 
“Our team put a lot of work into the development, patenting and GRAS affirmation of this ingredient (VinCare),” commented Cal Bewicke, president of ENI. “This is something of a breakthrough, and does open the door for a new range of products in this important area of health support.”
