Guest guest Posted July 13, 1999 Report Share Posted July 13, 1999 Hi Guys, I've been taking the Vit C and grapeseed extract for the past few days, and have been amazed by the effect, my skin hasn't been this good in a long time. I don't know whether this is due solely to the Vit C and grapeseed, or due to the fact that I've given up using regular moisturisers and am just using jojoba oil with water. I've also just started using an Aveda foundation daily which also contains loads of jojoba. Anyway, I'm using a brand of Grapeseed Extract formulated in the UK, the brand's called " Rejeuvenol " and apparently has the highest concentration of pro-anthocyanidins available on the world market (99%). It cost me 12.99 (irish punts) for 30 capsules, which are each only 30mg!!! I'm currently only taking two of these daily, and two Vit C (Ester form) capsules (500mg each), which is below what Dr. Nase recommended. This is because I am concerned about the effects of taking really high doses of Vit C , as I recall research that was carried out last year finding that at very high doses Vit C can go from being a free-radical scavenger to actually acting as a pro-oxidant (i.e. causing damage to cells/DNA etc). Does anyone have any opinions on this ????

Guest guest Posted July 13, 1999 Report Share Posted July 13, 1999 Hi SS, I was wondering if you could tell me the exact name of the Aveda foundation you are using. Thanks, Matija P.S. I'm glad the Vit. C and grapeseed extract are working for you. I find it's working wonders for me too. wrote: original article:/group/rosacea-support/?start=63 07 > Hi Guys, > I've been taking the Vit C and grapeseed extract for the past few days, > and have been amazed by the effect, my skin hasn't been this good in a long > time.
