A study published in the July 16th issue of Metabolism Clinical and Experimental indicates that, when taken in conjunction with lifestyle modification, MegaNatural BP grape seed extract, from Polyphenolics, a division of Constellation Wines U.S., may effectively lower blood pressure in patients with metabolic syndrome. Patients with metabolic syndrome are also encouraged to increase their exercise levels, lose weight, eat more healthfully and stop smoking.
The placebo-controlled trial involved 24 subjects with metabolic syndrome and documented the blood pressure lowering effect of MegaNatural BP grape seed extract. Two dosage levels (150 mg/day and 300 mg/day) and a placebo were given to 3 groups of 8 patients, respectively. After 1 month of treatment, there was a significant reduction in blood pressure in both groups given MegaNatural BP. There was no change in the group given the placebo. Also, subjects given 300 mg of MegaNatural BP had a significant decrease in the concentration of oxidized LDL in plasma. For further information: www.polyphenolics.com
