Grape seed extract

So imagine you're eating a yummy grape! And inside that grape, there are little seeds. Grape seed extract is what you can get from those little seeds!

But why would you want to do that? Well, scientists and doctors have found that grape seed extract has lots of really good things in it that can help your body.

For one thing, it has something called antioxidants. Antioxidants are kind of like superheroes for your cells! They help protect them from damage and keep them healthy. Grape seed extract also has something called polyphenols, which can help fight inflammation in your body.

Some people take grape seed extract as a supplement to help with things like blood pressure or cholesterol. Others use it for its antioxidant or anti-inflammatory properties. But it's always important to talk to a grown-up you trust before taking any kind of supplement!
