I. Red vine: origins and nutricosmetic interest
A plant rooted in Mediterranean tradition
Originating from Mediterranean regions, red vine (Vitis vinifera) is part of ancient cultures, valued both for its clusters and its traditional virtues. Initially recognized for its action on circulatory comfort, it now holds a prominent place in nutricosmetic protocols, where it contributes to skin tone, leg lightness, and hair vitality.
Why is it used in dietary supplements?
Red vine is characterized by an exceptional richness in natural compounds that effectively act on microcirculation, support vessel tone, strengthen skin firmness, and help soothe the sensation of tired legs. This ingredient fits harmoniously into a global vision of beauty, combining inner balance and visible manifestations on appearance.
A concentrate of antioxidant molecules
Red vine, through its leaves, seeds, and skin, concentrates polyphenols, flavonoids such as quercetin, as well as tannins. These natural compounds significantly contribute to cellular defense against oxidative stress, while preserving the structure and strength of vascular tissues.
II. Its benefits
Beauty and overall well-being
Female vitality and comfort thanks to polyphenols
The polyphenols present in red vine offer remarkable antioxidant protection, promote harmony in female metabolism, stimulate microcirculation, and help preserve complexion brightness. They also support the strength of blood vessels and help limit the appearance of visible signs of skin fatigue, while optimizing overall vitality and daily comfort.
Support for skin radiance
By optimizing circulation within the skin layers, red vine supports complexion brightness, promotes better oxygenation of skin cells, and helps preserve the evenness of skin texture. Rich in antioxidants, it also contributes to protecting tissues against external aggressions, thus supporting the skin’s natural ability to maintain its radiance and freshness day after day.

Support for blood circulation
A plant-based response to the sensation of heavy legs
Extracts from red vine leaves actively contribute to circulatory balance, promote better capillary resistance, and support venous tone, thereby helping to alleviate discomfort related to circulation.
Water retention and silhouette slimming
Through its veinotonic action and antioxidant virtues, red vine helps limit water retention and provides a sensation of lightness, thus contributing to a perceptible slimming of the silhouette. Its polyphenol content promotes the elimination of excess water, while supporting microcirculation and optimizing the body's natural drainage for overall comfort.
Antioxidant action
Preservation of cellular youth
Flavonoids as well as OPCs (proanthocyanidin oligomers) extracted from red vine seeds and leaves provide a neutralizing action on free radicals, thus helping to slow the appearance of visible signs of skin aging. Their antioxidant power protects collagen fibers, supports skin resilience, and helps maintain supple and radiant skin, while promoting the preservation of cellular vitality against daily environmental aggressions.
Deep tissue protection
The antioxidant compounds present in red vine act deeply, offering protection to the vascular endothelium and strengthening the tissues' ability to resist harmful environmental factors. Their targeted action helps preserve the integrity of cell membranes, limit the impact of free radicals on the structure of blood vessels, and sustainably support tissue resistance against daily oxidative stress. Thus, red vine actively contributes to preserving vascular health, while supporting skin balance and overall vitality.
Silhouette management and overall balance
Support for water regulation
Red vine helps reduce sensations of swelling resulting from impaired circulation or water retention, while preserving the body's natural hydration. Thanks to its composition rich in polyphenols and tannins, it also promotes effective tissue drainage, contributing to a more refined silhouette and lasting bodily comfort. Its targeted action helps restore water balance, reducing discomfort related to water accumulation, while maintaining the suppleness and vitality of skin tissues.
A holistic and sustainable approach
Integrated into a balanced lifestyle and consistent sports practice, red vine fully finds its place within a holistic approach aimed at establishing lasting well-being and a continuous sensation of lightness. This plant is part of a global approach, where varied diet, stress management, hydration, and physical activity combine to optimize its effects and promote circulatory balance, vitality maintenance, and daily comfort.
