Jamin,
How much GSE do you take a day? I have been taking it and I think it really has helped me but as I type this, I can't remember the dosage I take. Just curious on what you do

Hi, I take 200mg two times daily, one in early am and one later in day closer to bed. It's never kept me awake but maybe best to take 2nd dose about 5PM or so. Gotta learn to work with it for your body and watch for subtle and sometimes stunning changes, like allergy issues improving.

Thinner people can take less, I'm not thin but know this antioxidant and still learning more new info. j

One has to have faith, and so many don't choose that in food based "meds". So much info out there in the universe.

Ok, good to know Jamin
I'll have to check and see how much I have been taking. LOLOL
I know it can't hurt and I love the idea of preventing as much bad stuff in our bodies as possible

Thanks for all of your tips

I posted in here already, but Andrew Lessman who sells good quality supplements on HSN sells this 1 capsule supplement that contains 100mg EACH of:

resveratrol
green tea extract
grape seed extract
pomegranate extract

That's what I take along w/ black seed oil occasionally & about 12-15 other supplements. I don't really feel any difference, but I assume they're all doing me some good!

Actually it could but the OP never mentions the possible side effects, drug interactions (even with other supplements) and warnings, about GSE or any other supplement.

So you are getting 400mg in one capsule. Are you taking 1 per day? How long you been doing this?

I don't know that I feel different but I've been taking mine so long, I don't know how I'd feel if I didn't take it and I'm not going to chance it. I know I get comments from people who know and don't know that "no way are you almost 80".... I even took it in the hospital/rehabs for the 4.5 months. I had friends/family bring me my important supps while I was in them.

And IF I'm preventing cancers from taking off, I'm doing great.

One thing you could do to test yourself, go off for a while and that MAYBE could tell you something.

She never mentions any as she doesn't get any, never has. 23 yrs, no side effects...and I get only good effects as I know myself and my body.

Good Results:

No allergy/sinus issues
No headaches
No hearing issues, no ringing
No cataracts, good vision
No wrinkles for this almost 80 yo face
Good tight healthy gums

And what is going on inside my body, I cannot see.

Now, if only the grape had pain relief properties, then I'd even be happier, much so.

I've posted a disclaimer about taking it while taking a pharma blood thinner, can't take both so they tell us.

Do you think that means no one else will? You don't know what drugs others may be taking or their medical histories. Disclosing that information so that others won't be misled to think it can't hurt seems like the responsible thing to do.

Frankly, I'm skeptical that you would know if you were causing adverse effects. I remember your blood presssure thread in which you were complaining that you couldn't get your pressure down despite taking one drug and 2 supps to lower it. At least one of the supps you were taking is known to counteract the drug you were on, so you were very likely contributing to your problem because either you hadn't researched it or you ignored it.

Just do a search on grape and cancers

And many links come up.

So many non believers and naysayers around here, it's truly amazing. So many tightly closed minds...
I looked at the list and there are other foods listed there. These are all common food items most of us eat unless we're on a really bad junk food diet. With the exception of soy and flaxseed I live on those foods yet developed cancer and it keeps coming back. I also take supplements to make sure I suffer no deficiencies. I get as much exercise as possible with my arthritic hips.
