Red vine

This plant has been used by humans for over 3,500 years, particularly in wine production. In fact, as early as the 15th century BC, it was used by the Greeks, for whom the plant was sacred. Native to southern Europe and Asia Minor, this plant thrives in clay soils and sunny conditions. It is now found in all temperate regions of the world, where it has given rise to several grape varieties used in wine production.

Composition and main active compounds of red vine

The leaves of the red vine contain high levels of tannins and anthocyanin pigments, which give them a beautiful red color in the fall. Anthocyanosides have significant vitamin P activity, which gives red vine leaves an antioxidant effect. They inhibit the breakdown of certain enzymes that can weaken the walls of small blood vessels and reduce their permeability. As a result, red vine contributes to normal venous circulation in the legs and helps restore a feeling of lightness in the legs*.

Positive effects on microcirculation and eye health

Red vine also has beneficial effects on microcirculation and eye health.

 

When consumed or used asa dietary supplement, red vine can promote better blood microcirculation. This means that it can help increase blood flow to small capillaries, thereby improving the supply of nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Optimal blood microcirculation is essential for maintaining the health and proper functioning of organs, including the eyes.

 

The antioxidant properties of red grapes, particularly their flavonoids and anthocyanins, may help protect eye cells from damage caused by free radicals. This may play an important role in preventing age-related eye disorders such as macular degeneration and cataracts.

 

Red vine can be used to support eye health in a variety of ways. In addition to consuming red vine supplements, it is also possible to use gels or creams containing red vine extract for specific applications around the eyes.
