An ally to manage stress and improve mood is grape (Vitis vinifera), which belongs to family Vitaceae, one of the most highly consumed fruits across the world.
The skin and seeds of grapes are highly rich in polyphenols specifically proanthocyanidins, which can be used as a functional ingredient to address various health issues by boosting the natural bio-processes of the body (1). Many beneficial properties in cardiovascular, cancer, and neurological disorders as antioxidant, immunomodulatory, antidiabetic, cardio, and neuroprotective agents have long been described and recently reviewed (2).

Managing stress: from ENOVITA® ORGANIC an effective help
A recent human study focused on the effects, both in vitro and in humans, of ENOVITA ORGANIC® on blood pressure revealed a surprising health counterbalance on perceived stress.(3).
The statistically significant reduction of worries, as well as an improvement of the mental component score by trend, which could be noticed after ENOVITA ORGANIC® supplementation, indicates that a beneficial effect on stress and mood is associated with such a supplementation.
ENOVITA® ORGANIC for blood pressure control in healthy people
ENOVITA® ORGANIC has already showed its effectiveness in ameliorating systolic and diastolic blood pressure in individuals prone to hypertension, thanks to a human study published in 2013 (4).
The recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in healthy volunteers (3) showed that ENOVITA® ORGANIC modulates systolic blood pressure also in healthy population: the measured effect is in line with other RCT studies on grape seeds extracts (5), but it is now proven for the first time also in the challenging target of healthy subjects.
