We give half a capsule twice a day. Each capsule has 12mg.

I think it works better in lower doses in synergy with other brain

activity enhancers, eg DMAE, bacopa, gingko etc

Results come slowly and are subtle, but we seem to have hit on a mix

that is giving slow, steady sustained improvements (then again, it

could be the chelation, the behavioural therapies, the exercise etc)

I also think grapeseed is doubly useful if your kid has ADD or ADHD

problems

Hey, we were only trying to help because I bought the wrong stuff the first

time around and needed to go back to the drugstore for the GSE.

> Grape seed extract is an antioxidant. Grapefruit seed extract is an

antifungal. I'm more interested in grape seed extract at this point.

In your previous message, you referred to it as " GSE " , which is the

abbreviation for grapefruit seed extract. This is probably what

caused the confusion. Plus, most people here use grapefruit seed

extract to eliminate the yeast caused by chelation.

Anyway, looks like someone had good info for you. Just be careful

when purchasing the product, to read more than the " GSE " listed on the

label, because most of the time it means grapefruit seed extract, not

grape seed extract which you indicate you want.

I have seen some reports that grape seed extract is given to ADD kids, increases

attention. It is also a potent antioxidant, said to be 50 x more powerful than

either C or E, and that is saying something. And our kids need all the

antioxidant power they can get, usually. So, yes, good for lots of things.

Hello Joanna,

I just started taking grape seed extract a couple months ago. From

what I remember, the recommended dose is 1 mg. per pound of body

weight divided into 2 doses per day. So a 200 pound man would take

100 mg. in the morning and repeat that in the evening. It is also

recommended for the first couple weeks to a month to maybe double

that just to get the initial anti-oxident level up to normal and then

level off to the normal dose.

Suppose no one makes 500 or 1000 mg. capsules because most poeple

aren't in that weight category................but maybe these

companies better start taking a closer look ?

Andre, I was using a product called OPC3 - it's sold by Market America. It's

the highest dose OPC product I've found. It's in a powder form that mixes

with water. You'll find it if you do a web search. Do an ingredients check

though because I think it contains some lactose.

Just be aware that ultra high doses of anything (even water, the staple

of life) can cause problems. Before I found LDN I had already virtually

stopped my progression for over 5 years with a wide range of

antioxidants. However, before that I had two sets of problems with high

doses of an antioxidant, in one case grape seed extract which is a very

powerful one. At that time somebody had put me onto Pycnogenol (a grape

seed extract sold by a multi level marketing firm) and I was taking the

very high starting dose recommended for people with serious illnesses

trying to get their body right again.

That period corresponded to the most rapid loss of speech I have ever

had and of course it never recovered. I doubt that it was coincidence

as for years before and after I kept a diary of everything I ate, mental

and physical state etc. and nothing else changed. I still take grape

seed extract, but not from that source and only in much smaller doses in

conjunction with quite a few other antioxidants (Vit C, Vit E, NAC,

alpha lipoic acid, CoQ10 etc). I subsequently read that too high a dose

of antioxidants can cause problems, but unfortunately that was too late

for me.

I'm certainly not saying don't use them, just saying don't work on the

" some is good therefore more is even better " principle because there is

some potential for harm if taking very high doses of something as

powerful as grape seed extract. I am a great believer in antioxidants

(see http://home.goulburn.net.au/~shack/ which is a great site I got

most of my info from) but in a wide range of different ones (hopefully)

working synergistically together, not just mega doses of only one or two.

Same thing holds true for those with cancer. There are quite a number of different supplements that if taken to excess will actully help cancer propogate. Stay within reason on anything you take. If you want to expand the number of things you take (greater variety to attack the same problem) you are much further ahead because each of those items will have other bioflavinoids that act as buffers as well as synergistically to get the desired effect (assuming you are using natural substances rather than synthetics). The greater the variety, the better chance for success.

A key to remember is that not everything works for everyone all the time or in the same manner. That is why you should be doing these things with some form of medical advisor involved. You should also keep a careful log of what you take, when, etc... so you can actually document what is going on inside you. It is your body and you are the one ultimately responsible for what happens.

I came across this problem when I first started researching my cancer. Most of the antioxidants can cause problems, especially E. B vitamins in general have a raging debate surrounding them as to whether or not they help cancer or help defeat it. There have even been some studies, as I recall with problems surrounding C. I am sorry I am not home right now or I could go dig in my notes, but I came across at least 15 or 20 different things that were a problem. Try plugging in different supplement names plus cancer into PUBMED.com and see what comes up. You can also google each supplement with overdose and cancer and see what pops up. That is what I did 2 years ago.

I will try to remember to look this stuff up the end of next week when I get back in the office.

Hello Gayle,

A friend of mine is a distributor for the OPC-3 that you mention. The

bottle is sold by a company called " Isotonix " . Have a cassete tape and

viewed. Sounds high quality but I believe price is high. I'm happy

with the 'Puritan's Pride' brand that I am using and have noticed an

improvement in no more back pain after about 3 weeks on the product.

By the way, thanks for the nice long reply to my post a while back.

Tried to respond but my message was returned - must have not had

enough postage ? :-]

The GSE referred to on this list is generally GrapeFRUIT seed extract which is

different from Grape Seed Extract. It's used to deal with yeast overgrowth but

is high phenol so some find they need to use No-Fenol with it.

Grape seed extract is a good antioxidant.

GrapeFRUIT seed extract is a good anti-fungal.

Hi Suzzie, ( to: Suzzienovember@...)

Grape seed extract is not a herbal. It is an anti-oxidant that is

anti-allergenic, antihistamine, and acts to ward off anti-inflammatory diseases.

It strengthen ones blood vessels, improves and aids in blood circulation.

Just go to google search, and type in Grape Seed Extract, there you will

find many articles informing you on how great this antioxidant is.

Recently Science Daily.com wrote an article about the research at University

of Kentucky, noting that grape seed extract kills laboratory Leukemia cells,

thus proving value of this antioxidant. I take about 100 mgs., and it has

benefit me from all my allergies, of not having to take ANY prescription

antihistamines which will also cause cancer patients DRY MOUTH!

I would not blame you for not taking any herbal remedies, as I never take any

of the USA herbal remedies either there is just too much junk or fillers in

them, that none of us really know much about, however, long ago, back in

Washington era, herbal remedies were known as medicine is today.

Sometimes the pain in our joints are also caused by gluten, that is if you know

you have a gluten sensitivity. A while back ago, someone wrote to me from the

, regarding Celiac. If you can google the name CELIAC then, you can also

research and find some of the gluten support groups, as well as articles which

will mentioned that gluten will be the cause of your arthritis. As for the pain,

I am aware of this. I had this while I was in

my late 30 something, in which I didn't know at that time I was gluten

sensitive. I took grape seed extract about 30mgs., and with a book that

I read in the late 1980's called: Arthritis Cure, you can find this book in

your local library. It will inform you on what actually causes arthritis,

without taking more drugs! I am definitely proactive on anti-oxidants, because

they

will make your life, more manageable without the over the counter drugs, and

cancer drugs, and they have NO side effects like drugs do!

Just that small millegram of 30 mgs. for maybe 1 year, cured me of having

permanent arthritis.

While I had never had the biopsy of the stomach, to see if I was a Celiac,

performed, because my platelets where always too low, I know I have a

sensitivity, as well as my children on any white flour. One would know if they

have a sensitivity, by just eliminating those food source for several weeks,

then waiting to see if the symptom they have get better, or worst. Usually

stomach bloating is caused by a sensitivity, and or celiac. Other symptoms

would include fatigue, brain fog, asthma, diarhhea and arthritis. Gluten is

contained virtually in everything one buys at the grocery store that is

processed. If you have a Trader's Joe in your city, they carry many gluten-free

products, too, I introduced and wrote to the corporate office

some 15 years ago, and explained to them the products a gluten sensitive

person needs to have to make life a little bit easier!

If you want quicker results then researching on Internet,( but you will be

satisfied in doing the research and reading it for yourself) you can call this

phone number toll free, and request for a nutritionist, inquiry about grape

seed extract, and you will be very happy with your results.

www.inViteHealth.com, or 1-800-844-9060 This company is exclusively only

in the State of New York. On staff there are a team of professional who is

made up of dedicated nutritionists, naturopaths, nurses, pharmacists, and allied

health professionals. I buy a brand under the name Pure~ Vitamin D3, 5000 IU

for monitoring with another University Research Hospital, to prevent

Osteoporisis. However, on Gleevec it is not possible to encounter

Osteoporisis, as Memorial Sloan-Kettering has done clinical trials on

cancer drugs Gleevec and bone loss.

Good luck with your research, and if you need to know more just ask the

real professionals! Thank you for inquiring, you won't be disappointed, and

maybe grape seed extract can help your husband to prevent having knee

surgery!
