Polyphenols are one of the most effective natural antioxidants in Botany. These polyphenols are mainly found in the skin and seeds of grapes, especially in the Vitis vinifera tempranillo variety from the Ribera del Duero. ESDOR has its own patent to extract polyphenols, developed at its facilities in Valbuena de Duero (Valladolid, Spain). .
Polyphenols have a very high antioxidant power, greater than that of other recognized antioxidants like Vitamin C, and they concentrate on neutralizing free radicals to block the skin aging effect. Its clinical evidence is pretty wide:
- 1. Polyphenols have anti-inflammatory action.
- 2. They fight against varicose dermatitis, varicose ulcer and vascular retinal disorders.
- 3. They block the carcinogenesis process during its prevention, initiation, promotion or progression stage.
- 4. They slow down cellular aging that causes degenerative diseases as the Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease.
- 5. They delay skin aging, improve elasticity, increase cellular vitality, reduce the effects of oxidative stress and they protect the skin from external aggressions.
