Native to southern Europe and Asia Minor, this plant loves clay soils and sunshine. It is now present in all temperate regions of the world where it has given birth to several grape varieties for wine production.

Composition and main active compounds of red vine
The leaves of the red vine contain a lot of tannins and anthocyanin pigments which give them a beautiful red color in the fall. Anthocyanosides have significant vitamin P activity, which give the leaves of the Red Vine an antioxidant effect. They inhibit the degradation of certain enzymes which 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 to regaining a feeling of light legs*.

Description of the plant and its key components
The red vine is a climbing plant native to Mediterranean regions. Its leaves are large and green, but they turn red in the fall, hence its name.
