Absolutely, patently FALSE.

If it was "known to slow down aging" there would be a host of verifiable documented evidence and it would be well known and prescribed for every person by every doctor. You may be convinced but the medical community is not. I'll side with science.

As always everyone is welcome to side with whom they choose. I side with my benefits of 22+yrs.

I usually try to keep it quiet, but if you really want something that will help try Revalenta Arabica. The ancient Egyptians were aware of its powers.

Looks like it's a lentil, right? Lentils are given high marks in foods. Unlike you, I want to share the goodness of what has truly worked in my life and especially as I've aged. My neighbor is going to buy me some Lentil wraps at Trader Joe's that he just loves, he's pretty much vegetarian, after dropping 50 lbs from eating his mega tasty meats.

Yup, try Revalenta Arabica. It sounds like something you would like. Made from lentils. Gluten free. No trans fats, in fact fat free. No salt needed.

Grape Seed Extract Benefits OPC Antioxidant Page

I don't buy from the above company but LOVE LOVE their thorough overview of Grape Seed Ex.

Here is the History of OPC's.

OPC History | OPC Antioxidant Reference Guide

I found Pycnogenol in 1995 and took it for the first year and then switched to Grape Seed Extract as it was less money. Same same results:

What they've done for me:

1. Threw away allergy/sinus drugs in a short time on OPC's, never to visit an allergist again as I did for some years prior to OPC's.

2. Eye health is good, still wear scripts that I got 10 yrs ago and no cataracts and have NOT been to an eye doc in going on 10 yrs.

3. Gum health is good, I've years of dental work prior to OPC's, but to this date I have also not gone to a dentist in going on 10 yrs. I also make my own Coconut Oil Toothpaste. Commerical TP's are full of cwap.

4. Brown spots, liver spots and even birthmarks are faded and many gone.

5. Spider veins are about history too.

6. No cancer issues and the main reason I got on Pycnogenol is the panel of MD's and researchers who were touting this OPC said "May Prevent Cancers". It was coming into U.S. from France. Europe in many ways is ahead of us in remedies. I use homeopathics too, but that's another subject.

7. I was 57 when I found Pycnogenol or should I say Pycnogenol found me and I'm headed to 79 in August and still get you look in 50-60's.

8. I just spent 4.5 months in hospitals/rehabs for an infection in my knee and true the OPC's didn't prevent this, a long hard story and I'm still dealing with the MD's and hospital who did NOT find the infection until 2.5 months out when I was in the first rehab.

Anyway, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Not going to doctors and absolutely know the OPC's have made a huge difference in my life. If I can find help for a health issue I go to Dr. Google first and foremost and then if that fails I will see an MD.


My parents lived into early and mid 90's and if I will who knows, but if I'm not healthy I don't want to be there.
Cool stuff, i am all for it. Now is there real clinical proof this works, or are we talking more "herbal" sorta kinda stuff.

I am all for it, if there is some real studies supporting it, not vested interests.

Where do you get it, is it a food or capsule or what? I like lentils a lot. I take a lot of supplements now and don't know if adding another one of the lentil origin is what I want to do.

There is a history and I posted some links above. It comes from France and NO not FDA approved, and that is just fine in my books...all the toxic drugs are FDA approved so why something so natural be FDA stamped....why would the medical world want people to HEAL themselves vs going to them for their drugs and pay trillions to the pharma industry. Think about it.

As for Real studies, I don't live my life by real studies or not real studies. I'm living proof of what I do and what I choose to trust.

You may believe you got benefits from this stuff but your anecdotal "evidence' without controlling for any other changes is no evidence at all, particularly in a single isolated case.

I do understand you are slowing down. Someone else might be able to explain this. I cant do it with a straight face.
