The vine has been cultivated for thousands of years, but extraction of the oil from seeds is recent, due to technological difficulties of obtaining the oil. The oil was Initially manufactured only in France and Italy where it was used strictly in the food industry.
Then, it was used in cosmetics due to its quality to be easily absorbed by the skin, which softens and stretches. Only later the grape seed oil was targeted by the pharmaceutical industry.
Anti-aging champion
Grape seed oil contains large amounts of vitamin E and vitamin F, and some minerals like zinc, copper and selenium, but, above all, it contains so-called procyanidins (abbreviated OPC), which is an anti-aging agent 50 times stronger than vitamin E and 20 times stronger than vitamin C.
It also contains substances that help maintain healthy blood vessels and a healthy heart, it catalyzes the action of vitamins in the body and helps prevent allergic reactions.

Clarifications:
When talking about therapeutic effects, we always refer to cold pressed oil. The refined grape seed oil is obtained at high temperatures, and due to this process all active substances in terms of treatment are virtually destroyed, thus not recommended in healing. Nowadays, cold pressed grape seed oil is sold in supermarkets, in the import oils aisle.
This oil is administered primarily through diet, as an excellent addition to salads, sauces and in various dishes that involve cooking without fire. It is necessary to avoid frying or boiling the oil, because above 50 degrees Celsius the therapeutic properties are diminished.
The daily dose of oil is 25-45 grams, 2-4 tablespoons per day, eaten as such or as an ingredient in different food recipes.
Externally, the oil is used in skin massage, because it nourishes the skin, preventing dryness and helping maintain its youth and natural elasticity.

Choosing good quality grape seed oil
To ensure good health, it is recommended that you get bio or virgin vegetable oils, because they maintain all nutritional qualities and it certifies that the oil has not undergone a chemical refining process. Only “bio” oils, obtained from untreated plants, can avoid chemical refining process, receiving the name of “virgin oil”.

Grape seed oil is obtained by cold pressing the pits, after grapes have been used in various processes of winemaking. It is slightly transparent, with a greenish-yellow color, without any distinctive odor. Instead, its taste is sweet and pleasant, which recommends it for seasoning salads or in combination with olive oil.
Treatment of diseases
Vascular disease
Daily use of this oil in salads is sufficient to avoid vascular diseases, such as arteriosclerosis, vascular fragility or arthritis.
