Health function

1. Protect human blood circulation system through three ways: eliminating oxygen free radicals in blood; Help the body prevent the production of oxygen free radicals; Enhance the integrity of blood vessel wall.

7. Proanthocyanidins have very good solubility in water, are well absorbed after oral administration, and take effect quickly and last for a long time after entering human body.

8. As a health food, safety is very important. The results of various animal experiments and experimental systems prove that proanthocyanidins are non-toxic, non-mutagenic, non-carcinogenic, non-teratogenic and non-allergenic, so proanthocyanidins are safe.
