Overview
Phytosome®
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Obtained from Vitis vinifera L. seeds, Leucoselect® Indena 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 Indena Phytosome™ delivery system, Leucoselect® is an innovative formulation that optimizes antioxidants’ bioabsorption.
Leucoselect® Indena Phytosome™ into action
Thanks to OPC’s antioxidant activity, Leucoselect® Indena 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® Indena 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
Indena Phytosome™
Find out how Leucoselect® Indena Phytosome™
is one step beyond
The uniqueness of Leucoselect® Indena 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 Indena Phytosome™ strategy optimizes bioabsorption. Leucoselect® Indena Phytosome™ is an optimal solution for an effective defense against oxidative damage, combining the efficacy of the antioxidant molecules and the innovative delivery system.
