vitaflavan® is a fine powder extracted from French white grape seeds, grown in the South West region. Its characteristics are:

Total polyphenols content (GPC) > 96 %
Procyanidin content (GPC) > 75 %
Procyanidin content (Porter) > 68 %

Composition (%) (GPC)
Monomers : 22
Dimers : 19
Trimers up to pentamers : 56

The procyanidins intestinal absorption and thus their biological activity are based on their molecular weight. The high molecular weight molecules are not absorbed.
vitaflavan® presents an optimal composition in low molecular weight procyanidins, which guarantees biodisponibility and effectiveness of the extract.
