Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Grapefruit) — Not covered (AHP; KOM;
PHZ). The fruit and juice can potentiate many drugs dramatically and sometimes dangerously with
poisonous pharmaceuticals with narrow therapeutic ranges. This potential should be studied and
standardized to lower required dosages of those noted pharmaceuticals.

Dosages (Grape Seed) — 75–600 mg seed extract (or pycnogenol)/day for up to 3 weeks;
maintenance dose 40–100 mg/day (APA, PH2).
Contraindications, Interactions, and Side Effects (Grape Seed) — In general, agricultural selec-
tion breeds out some of the natural pesticides, such as resveratrol, which also have many interesting
biological activities. The recent ACS book, Wine, Nutritional and Therapeutic Benefits, heaps praise
on resveratrol, failing to tell us that there is 10–100 times more in the leaves, and I suspect seeds,
than in the fruit pulp and wines. The seeds have only recently come to the market and clinical trials
are few and far between. On the other hand, the fruits contain more than 30 types of anthocyanins.
Small wonder that grapejuice has four times the ORAC score of any other fruit juice studied (JNU).
