Proanthocyanidins are so amazing
Have you found that the brown rust spots will appear soon after the apple is cut, the steel will rust slowly after the wind and rain, and the rubber pipe will become hard and brittle after a year or two, in fact, these phenomena can be explained by one word: oxidation. Have you ever noticed that as we get older, our skin gets more and more wrinkled? Our concentration and memory decline; Our blood pressure begins to rise and our blood vessels become stiff and narrow; Joints are less flexible and occasionally painful, and we start to live with sub-health states of one kind or another...
More and more studies have pointed out that aging is caused by the attack of free radicals on cells and excessive oxidation, such as the free radical theory proposed by scholar Denham Harman. Normally, the body has a mechanism to stabilize and remove excess free radicals. But this balance ability will weaken as people age and change their constitution. When free radicals are overproduced or their scavenging power is reduced, aging, tumors and various chronic degenerative diseases will occur. However, proanthocyanidins can be used to exert their important antioxidant value in the fields of nutrition, medicine and health care.
Proanthocyanidins are a general term for a large class of polyphenolic compounds widely present in plants, which have strong antioxidant properties and protect lipids from peroxidation damage. It may be said that the antioxidant effect of lycopene and astaxanthin is more powerful than that of proanthocyanidins. Yes, the difference is that the first two are fat-soluble substances, and they need fat to help them work. It is worth mentioning that the content of proanthocyanidins is the highest in the young pulp and mature peel of apple fruits.
The proanthocyanidins contained in Apple polyphenols from APPCHEM(BON) can significantly inhibit the activity of tyrosinase and the formation of melanin, and play a role in whitening skin. Proanthocyanidins can inhibit allergic reactions caused by nitrochlorobenzene and other allergens to avoid the occurrence and development of allergic reactions. In addition, it can also improve other symptoms caused by allergic reactions and have anti-allergic effects.
