Individuals with Type II Diabetes are at particular high risk for cardiovascular disease. In a double-blinded randomized crossover trial 32 type II Diabetic patients were given 600 mg of grape seed extract or placebo each day for four weeks.
The results were very positive as the researchers concluded that grape seed extract use in Type II Diabetics “may have a therapeutic role in decreasing cardiovascular risk.”
The results showed statistically significant improvement in blood sugar control, improved antioxidant status (boosting glutathione levels in the blood), reduction of inflammatory C-reactive protein (CRP), and reduction of cholesterol.
Any one of these findings is important. The fact that a very safe nutrient produced all four benefits is marvelous.
