It's too bad you can't take it, my good friend who has horrible allergies/sinus issues and borderline emphysema (sp) has tried grape seed and pycnogenol and due to colitis she deals with, just can't take it. Another sad thing as her allergies are horrible...

I play bridge on thursdays, the hostess on this day is going to be 94 in Oct...yes 94. She is now on grape seed ex over 5 yrs due to my informing her of it .. she ran it by her pharmacist before she got on it and he said "go for it"...I take them...she believes due to the supps and grape seed ex, her health is as good as it is....she walks daily, she walks better than me, she has had no joint replacements....grrrrrrrrr and now takes a cane on her walks...but she is amazing and thanks so much to grape seed ex. The other 2 ladies, both in 80's take it also, but not as long as Elaine.
