French ‘longevity trick’ could keep you HEALTHIER… for LONGER
Friend, sometimes I wonder what the point is of living as long as you can… if your last years are RIDDEN with disease…
And you’re just hanging on by a thread.
Quite frankly, if you want to EXTEND your lifespan… it shouldn’t be at the SACRIFICE of your good health.
Who wants to OUTLIVE all their friends and loved ones… and be TOO SICK to enjoy the extra time?
It just doesn’t make sense.
Fortunately, I’ve come across a “longevity trick” that could help LENGTHEN life… and PRESERVE health.
It comes from a humble fruit that you might not have thought much about…
But there’s a lot of power PACKED into this tiny package!
A toast to your long life
Folks have treasured grapes (Vitis vinifera) for their medicinal benefits since the time of Ancient Greece.
Now, you may have heard about the SKINS of red wine grapes, which contain nutrients like resveratrol…
But there’s an UNDERAPPRECIATED part of this vineyard fruit… one that you WON’T find in your favorite varietal!
I’m talking about the SEEDS of grapes, a.k.a. grapeseed.
In 1947, French plant expert Jack Masquelier discovered how to extract active compounds from grapeseed…
And over the last 7 decades, grapeseed extract has been EXTENSIVELY studied.
You’ve read before right here in eAlert how this tiny ingredient… one that’s THROWN AWAY during the process of making your favorite bottle of Bordeaux or Cab… is a blood flow hero.
But its benefits don’t END with vessel health.
The latest science shows how grapeseed extract could actually EXTEND longevity.
A recent animal study looked specifically at a grapeseed compound called procyanidin C1 (or PCC1 for short).
It’s classified as a member of the “B type” oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), which are the compounds first discovered by Professor Masquelier nearly 75 years ago.
When the researchers in this latest study injected “old” mice with PCC1, they saw their overall lifespan increased by an average of more than 9%.
In a human timeline… that could mean an extra 7 years or more!
It worked by ZEROING IN on so-called “zombie cells” – or senescent cells.
Those are cells that are on death’s door… and have GIVEN UP the ghost… but REFUSE to kick the bucket!
The more of these “zombies” that build up in your body… the more your systems can SHUT DOWN.
But PCC1 is able to deliver a LETHAL BLOW to these zombies… and SHUT THEM DOWN for good.
Even better, PCC1 showed NO toxicity to normal, healthy cells.
And best yet, PCC1 appeared to also improve the study subject’s “healthspan” – with IMPROVED physical function and NO increase in age-related diseases like cancer.
If this sounds familiar to you… it’s because there are 2 other compounds that work in a similar way that I’ve recently shared with you.
Fisetin and quercetin.
You can find both of those in supplement form on their own… or in longevity formulas from quality makers.
The best supplement source of PCC1 is the patented Masquelier’s Original OPCs… which you can buy on its own brand name or as an ingredient in formulas by quality makers, like Life Extension’s Grapeseed Extract.
To your extended health (and life),
Sarah Reagan
