Yes.: Grape seed extract or "reveratrol" is an antioxidant, which helps to quench free radicals that accelerate aging and are associated with 100's of different diseases. Your body also produces some antioxidants. At least one product, protandim, aids this production thru adaptogens. Fyi, grape seed may also be used an aromatase inhibitor to prevent breakdown of testosterone or Progesterone to estrogen.

Not fully understood: Many of the statements made by these producers of herbal supplements have not been fully evaluated by the fda and do their claims remain unproven for the most part.
