Red vine

This plant has been used by humans for over 3,500 years, particularly in winemaking. Indeed, 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 locations. 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

Red vine leaves contain a high concentration of tannins and anthocyanin pigments, giving them a beautiful red color in autumn. Anthocyanins have significant vitamin P activity, which provides red vine leaves with 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*.
