I take the grape seed extract for my arthritis. It works miracles since it not only effects the joints, but stops any swelling from inflammation. I take a 300mg dose of it instead of the standard 50 to 100 for normal antioxidant uses.
I can't imagine what condition I would be in right now without it. It really saved my life so to say. The type of arthritis I have is pretty agressive and I was dislocating joints constantly, even to the point of tearing my AC joint just from sleeping. I couldn't turn my head or lift my arm for several months. It was pretty horrible and the stuff the docs put me on didn't really seem to address the inflammation that had set into my muscles and tendons. The grapeseed had me pain free within 3 days. If I stop taking it though, I'm in pain again in about 3 days, so I know for sure it is the grape seed that has worked the miracles.
Since I'm so young with this illness, my whole intent is keeping it under control so I don't end up unable to function by 50 and so far I think I'll manage that and then some.
