Good supplement.

I've been having itchy rashes for a few years and nothing (Ointments) really helped. Dr. Berg said that the root cause of most rashes resides from the liver not doing it's job. He didn't mention GSE, but I've read where GSE helps the liver. I can say that after a week or so the rashes are gone and no itching. It's like a miracle. The side effects are that the numbness in my legs (neuropathy?) is fading away fast and no longer have those staggering off balance symptoms from the numbness. And endurance has increased a lot, I've been shoveling a foot of snow in the last day or so and it didn't phase my in the least. I remember that my back always hurt when I shoveled a lot of snow, but this time no pain at all and felt strong as a bull. I just got this product Nov. 18th and I take a teaspoon a day in boiling water in my coffee. I also add a little ghee or butter or a little coconut oil, iows, some fat. This is most profound supplement I've ever taken. 76 years old.

Grapeseed extract is very bitter so it needs to be mixed with something. I use glycine powder and water to make 1/4 tsp grapeseed extract palatable. I drink this, ideally, when I wake up at night, hoping to hit the 10pm to 2am window when the body is renewing itself. Since doing this my severe dry eye has improved to a degree, when nothing else seemed to help. I am hoping it will also help my venous insufficiency. Care has to be taken when opening the packet. I did not make sure first that the zip lock type closure was sealed when I cut the marked place to cut. The powder is very light and can go everywhere and is highly staining. I use a long handled stainless steel measuring spoon. You might even want a glove on when the volume gets low in order to avoid touching the powder. You might want to put the powder at the bottom of the cup to mix it with some liquid. It can tend to float on top. If you have powdered magnesium or collagen powder it is much better to mix the grape seed extract with some of that first. Then it mixes well with water with no nasty globs of bitter extract. Great product. Requires some effort.

I haven't long been taking Grape Seed Extract, but few weeks ago I started taking it in pill form for inflammatory issues. It takes a while to notice improvement with any type of supplement or medicine in general, but before I ran out of the first bottle of pills I had , I wanted to order more and found this seller during my search for a better price. I like the fact that it's uncut - that when you order the supplement , there are no fillers. I like the fact that it's bulk, which means you get a lot more of the supplement itself. That said, I feel it fair to mention that Grape Seed Extract is very tart ( think "alum" - it makes you pucker involuntarily ) and it's also quite bitter. I've tasted a LOT of herbal supplements in my life and have had much worse, and one thing I can say about the bitterness is that at least it doesn't linger - drinking a glass of water after swallowing it should remove the taste. However, you may want to consider using empty capsules to fill with this for that reason ; it's not yummy. The way it tastes is exactly the way it *should* taste , though ; if you've ever eaten grapes *with* seeds , like Muscadines for example, and you've ever chewed up the seeds, the flavor lets you know it's the real thing which is what you want when taking a health supplement - in other words, the tart and bitter components are not necessarily "bad", just comes with the territory - so don't let that dissuade you and if the flavor bothers you and you don't have empty capsules perhaps there's something else it could be mixed with and "chugged" quickly. Overall, this seems to be a good company for product, price and service - 5 stars earned!

My husband had taken grape seed extract for years in order to reduce recovery times and relieve soreness from workouts and extended hiking sessions, but had been told by a physician to stop. He is now afflicted with severe arthritis and heart disease and wanted to use it again, and opted to try the Bulk Supplements product. He consulted with his current physician and pharmacist before taking it, and was told that he needed to pay close attention to his INR levels because grape seed extract has been known to elevate them, but otherwise it would be safe for him to begin using it again. What a difference this product has made for him! He began taking an introductory dose of 1/8tsp per day, and within three days he became more ambulatory and began experiencing less pain in his joints. He has since increased his dosage to 1/8tsp twice per day, and the results are still positive. The only drawbacks to this product are that it is not as convenient as taking a capsule and consuming the raw extract can be difficult. My husband has found that one should never try to consume the powder without diluting it or suspending it in a semi-liquid food first. The raw powder has a very unpleasant taste and will stick to one's tongue, forming a gelatinous mass that seems impossible to move to the rear of the mouth so that it can be swallowed. My husband has found that by mixing the powder with a small dab of Greek yogurt or mashed banana he can swallow the powder without undue difficulty. This product is pure, without fillers or additives, and its results are great. I would recommend that others try it.
