glucoside has been found to be 3.5 times stronger
than Trolox (vitamin E analogue) and the
predominate anthocyanin found in red wine
(nalvadin-3-glucoside) in an ORAC analysis
(measure of antioxidant capacity).
-

oil, which is thought to be a contributing factor
in maintaining the cardiovascular system in
Mediterranean populations.*
