Recent research suggests significant antioxidant activity is primarily based on its proanthocyanidins content. Prodine prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, protects the DNA from free-radical damage, prevents stress-related blood clotting without increasing bleeding risk, increases nitric oxide synthesis leading to vasodilation, has profound anti-inflammatory activity, protects the skin from sun damage, improves wound healing while decreasing scarring, boosts many aspects of immune system function, and also lowers blood sugar while stimulating fat tissue breakdown.
