Dosages (Grape) — 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) — None yet known. Not in (AHP).
“Hazards and/or side effects not known for proper therapeutic dosages” (PH2).
Extracts (Grape) — In general, agricultural selection 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).
