HEALTH

The polyphenols and flavonoids have the following effects on health:

  • Heart attack risk is reduced by up to 50%
  • Blood pressure drops
  • Diabetes mellitus (type 2) is positively influenced
  • Aging process is slowed down
  • Anti-inflammatory effect
  • Prevents thrombosis formation
  • Antioxidant capacity – free radicals

With red wines high in polyphenols we are practically drinking the „immune substances of the vines.“
