01

Why supplement?

✓

High-linoleic cooking oil

Pressed oil is mostly linoleic acid, with a relatively high smoke point for medium-high heat cooking. Softgels supply the same triglyceride calories. The endpoint is dietary fat composition and skin-barrier fatty acids. If used as a cooking oil, count the serving in daily polyunsaturated fat and total calories.

✓

Almost no OPCs in the oil phase

Grape-seed extract is standardized to water-alcohol oligomeric proanthocyanidins. Pressing takes the glycerides; OPCs stay in the meal. If a softgel only says grape seed oil, read linoleic millilitres or milligrams, not the OPC vascular-trial label. The two milligram systems are not interchangeable.

General wellnessTypical daily intake for general wellness: cooking or softgels often 5–15 mL (about 1–3 teaspoons)
Specific needsTypical adult daily safety upper limit is about 30 mL; this is fat calories, not OPCs, and do not exceed this on your own long term.
