Where do I get “organic” GSE? And how do I know it’s the real thing? There is a flood of GSE on the open market.. which one really works for plaque build-up? What is GSPE.. where can I get that?? I live in the USA

Thank you

In reply to Talese Yensch. The scientific studies do not mention that they depend on the grape species. Standardization is what matters most. High-quality supplements for oral use should be standardized to contain 95% of proanthocyanidins

Are the health benefits dependent on species of grape?

Is it safe to take 200 mg in the morning and 200 mg in the evening?
And, is GSE a stimulant?

I don’t see grape seed extract listed in the site index. Am I just missing it?

How can it be good for the gut when it kills off so many bacteria. ? Bacillus coagulans is advised as a supplement by dr Gundry ( the lectin specialist ). Is it not a pity to kill them ?

OPCs aren’t exactly a Th1 stimulant although they tend to promote certain types of inflammation. They work by making immune cells more “primed” to respond which increases their potency.

Personally, I wouldn’t suggest them for Hashimoto’s. I did check the primary research literature and was unable to find results specific for Hashimoto’s. If you want an antioxidant use something other than OPCs. Antioxidant capacity can be found in hundreds of other supplements, OPC’s unique functions would concern me without having a known outcome.

In reply to Tom. I believe you are confusing Grape seed extract with GrapeFRUIT seed extract

In reply to Carlissa Brown. It is, but it's also an anti-inflammatory.

‘Grape seed extract inhibits CYP2C9 and CYP3A4 at a very low concentration, this may increase the uptake and potency of some pharmaceuticals and herbs [R].’

This is a huge understatement. Grape seed extract in conjunction with a large variety of drugs can cause FATAL overdose.

Isn’t it a TH1 stimulant? I’m curious. I have read conflicting information and had an acupuncturist recommend it. I have Hashimotos.
