Powergrape shown to have a new mechanism of action

Up to this date, Powergrape is claimed to be the first natural ingredient having an efficacy on physical performance AND cell oxygenation, scientifically demonstrated on humans.

03/09/08 Naturex´s NAT’Life Division has introduced new claims on the Energy market due to a completely identified and clinically demonstrated mechanism of action: Powergrape increases muscle oxygenation.

Up to this date, Powergrape is claimed to be the first natural ingredient having an efficacy on physical performance AND cell oxygenation, scientifically demonstrated on humans. Powergrape maximizes physical performance and recovery by improving muscle
oxygenation and protection.

Thanks to a globally complete protocol (randomized, crossover, double blind, placebo controlled clinical study), NAT’Life’s clients can associate their claims with quantified results as well for antioxidant efficacy (no less than 13 parameters significantly improved – urinary and plasmatic analysis), as for its capacity to improve physical performance (5 different parameters – urinary, plasmatic analysis and effort test), and for its activity on oxygenation transport (haemoglobin concentration improvement). “Results obtained with Powergrape allow both originality and synergy with other tonic ingredients in final products”, comments Benoit Lemaire, Business Director of the NAT’Life division of Naturex.

Powergrape (400 mg/d. during 30 days) has previously been proved to significantly:
- improve performance and recovery capacity,
- increase the plasmatic ORAC value of supplemented volunteers,
- improve their antioxidant status.

Obtained from whole grapes, Powergrape is a 100% natural and safe ingredient which conforms to current European standards regarding the absence of GMO, allergens, pesticides, heavy metals, aflatoxins and ochratoxine A.
