Resveratrol and procyanidin
It has been shown that resveratrol protects against aging caused by the sun's UV rays. In a study done where participants took resveratrol and procyanidin for 60 days, their skin became significantly more resistant to oxidation. There were also improvements in hydration and elasticity as well as a decrease in the number of liver spots and smoother skin texture. However, it is not clear whether these changes were caused by resveratrol, procyanidin, or the combination of the two substances. In order for you to boost your combination of resveratrol and procyanidin, we created this recipe below!
