Polyphenols are a large group of beneficial compounds occurring naturally in plants. More than 8,000 polyphenols have so far been identified and research indicate that polyphenol consumption may play a vital role in health. Alsiano supplies a line of sustainably produced, premium quality, powerful polyphenols for incorporation in health supplements. The health-promoting benefits of polyphenols include eye health, cognitive health, cardiovascular health, and other health benefits.
Mediterranean plants such as grapes are very rich in the phenolic compounds: proanthocyanidins, anthocyanins and resveratrol. These compounds have antioxidant, anti-free-radical, anti-inflammatory, and anti-microbial effects, which have many health promoting benefits. The main health benefits of phenolic compounds include eye, cognitive, cardiovascular, and digestive health. In addition, they may support weight management, and are also relevant in sports nutrition formulations.
Alsiano offers a range of natural, polyphenolic-rich extracts from sustainably grown, and mainly French, grapes. The extracts are of highest quality, fully traceable and solely extracted and purified by water and vinous ethanol. Three different grape extracts are available:

Several epidemiological studies have demonstrated that the French population, while eating a high fat diet, has a reduced mortality rate and a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease compared to other countries. This phenomenon has been called French Paradox. According to scientists, the secret lies in the moderate daily consumption of red wine, which is an integral part of the French diet. Further studies revealed that a high polyphenolic composition of red wine exerts an antioxidant effect and a free-radical scavenging activity, responsible for its health benefits. (Source: Grap’Sud)
