Grapes contain beneficial bioflavonoid-like ingredients called proanthocyanidins (PCOs or OPCs). Proanthocyanidins protect cell membranes by neutralizing harmful free radicals called lipid peroxides. PCOs may strengthen capillary walls and skin. It inhibits the release of inflammatory chemicals, such as histamine and prostaglandins. PCOs have been used in allergies and asthma because of their ability to slow histamine release from mast cells. Resveratrol has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may protect against COPD and asthma. It inhibits LDL oxidation, smooth muscle cell proliferation and platelet aggregation.
