Overview

Phytosome®

We’ve set the absolute advantage

Obtained from Vitis vinifera L. seeds, Leucoselect® Phytosome® is a smart combination of standardized grape-seed extract and soy lecithin, with a high concentration of oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs).
It is useful for the health of your cardiovascular system thanks to its antioxidant power.

Specifically designed for supporting normal heart function and protecting from oxidative stress related challenges, thanks to Phytosome® delivery system, Leucoselect® is an innovative formulation that optimizes antioxidants’ bioabsorption.

Leucoselect® Phytosome® into action

Thanks to OPC’s antioxidant activity, Leucoselect® Phytosome® has shown relevant biological activity in human studies, with a real positive effect on antioxidant capacity, in particular improving antioxidant capacity of plasma1,2 and protecting LDL from oxidation in heavy smokers3.

Furthermore, Leucoselect® Phytosome®can affect positively oxidative status of people with impaired glucose homeostasis4 and life conditions and immune function of elderly people challenged by aging.5

Find out how Leucoselect®
is one step beyond

The uniqueness of Leucoselect® Phytosome® lies in its high content (80%) of smaller OPCs, critical for bioactivity since the absorption of procyanidins decreases with the oligomerization degree. Indeed, the extract is characterized by a very specific HPLC profile: it has a very high content of smaller OPCs and it is standardized to contain 25-36% of proanthocyanidins.

What’s more, the formulation with Phytosome® strategy optimizes bioabsorption. Leucoselect® Phytosome® is an optimal solution for an effective defense against oxidative damage, combining the efficacy of the antioxidant molecules and the innovative delivery system.
