Dive into the fascinating world of grape extracts and discover how our expertise and passion make all the difference.
Premium Products Precisely Manufactured
The grape extracts are produced by our partner GRAP’SUD, a wine cooperative located in southern France. The extracts are made from French grape pomace and are extracted in France.
The grape pomace is carefully selected and gently processed. By using state-of-the-art technologies and environmentally friendly production methods, we are able to offer a grape extract that is not only beneficial to health but also environmentally sustainable. Grapes from specific wine-growing regions ensure consistent product quality and exclusivity.
Full transparency across all stages of production – from harvest to final extract – ensures complete traceability of raw materials from the vineyard to the finished product.
At Breko, quality comes first. We work closely with GRAP’SUD to ensure that every step of the manufacturing process meets the highest quality standards. Our grape extract is regularly tested for purity and efficacy to ensure you receive a product you can trust.
Sustainable Manufacturing Process
The products come from a sustainable circular economy. The grape pomace generated during grape processing and winemaking is upcycled into high-quality ingredients. Non-usable residues are returned to the vineyards as compost. Even the process water is treated in wastewater facilities and then reused for vineyard irrigation, ensuring sustainable water use. As a result, all by-products are repurposed in various ways without harming the environment.
Great emphasis is placed on local sourcing and short transportation routes. Vineyards, distilleries, and extraction facilities are located close to one another. These short distances result in a low carbon footprint, and the entire production chain takes place 100% in France. Unlike many other products on the market, our raw materials are not re-imported from China. This enables us to offer you an eco-friendly and high-quality product solution.
Grape Extract as a Natural Dietary Supplement
Grape extracts are a valuable gift of nature and offer numerous health benefits. These benefits are diverse and can make a significant contribution to overall health and well-being.
One well-known example is the “French Paradox”, which highlights the positive effects of red wine on heart health despite a rich diet. This phenomenon is attributed to a group of compounds known as polyphenols, including anthocyanins, resveratrol, flavonoids, and OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins). These compounds are responsible for a range of health-promoting effects.
Our high-quality grape extracts contain a rich concentration of these valuable phytonutrients, allowing you to benefit from the positive effects of grapes — without the negative impact of alcohol.
Below are some interesting examples of how grape extract can support the maintenance of good health.
Health Benefits of exGrape™ TOTAL Grape Extracts
| Antioxidant Power | The skins and seeds of grapes are rich in natural antioxidants such as polyphenols and flavonoids. These compounds have the ability to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body that can cause cellular damage. The polyphenols they contain help neutralize these damaging free radicals, contributing to slowing down the aging process and reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. | |
| Cardiovascular Health | Numerous studies have shown that grape extracts can have positive effects on the cardiovascular system. The polyphenols contained in them may help improve blood circulation, regulate blood pressure, and promote the health of blood vessels. This contributes to regulating blood pressure, enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation in the arteries, and lowering the risk of heart disease. | |
| Immune System Support | The bioactive compounds present in grape extracts can strengthen your immune system. By enhancing the body’s immune response, these extracts help to fend off infections and boost overall defense mechanisms. | |
| Anti-Inflammatory Effects | The anti-inflammatory properties of grape extract may play a role in reducing inflammation in the body. This is especially important, as chronic inflammation is associated with many diseases, including diabetes and arthritis. | |
| Skin Health | The polyphenols contained in grape extracts can help promote skin health. The antioxidants they contain may protect the skin from harmful environmental influences and reduce skin irritation and signs of premature aging. In addition, grape extract is also used in the skincare industry due to its potential anti-inflammatory properties. | |
| Weight Management | Grape extracts can also be beneficial as part of a healthy weight management program. Some studies suggest that the compounds they contain may support metabolism, which can positively influence fat burning and weight loss. | |
| Neuroprotection | Some studies suggest that the polyphenols found in grape extract may have neuroprotective properties. They may help protect the brain from damage caused by oxidative stress and inflammation, and reduce the risk of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. |
Our extracts are typically offered in capsule and powder form for oral use. However, they can also be provided in liquid form for other applications.
It is important to note that OPC is not a medicinal product and should not be used as a substitute for medication. It is intended to support a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
