Grapeseed Extract Part IV

[cindylulu]

i have oily skin. is there any effect kung ATC grapeseed oil ang itake ko instead of the Cosmo GSE na powder form?

i too have oily skin and i've used atc gse prior to switching to ho's gse. it didn't cause any breakouts naman. 

[crybaby05]

yung sa HO, is it powder form? and ilang mg ang difference nya sa atc?

[cindylulu]

ho's gse is in dry form and i'm currently taking 100 mg cap. ho has 100-300 mg gse. atc is 500 mg, oil-based and in gel form.

have oily skin here too, i'm taking vitaglow by avon ( tablet form )..helps a lot with my pimples, cause it promotes faster healing, and with my period..for the 1st time since nagkaperiod ako ngayon lang nagfall on almost exact date yung period ko unlike before na 2-3weeks delay..

for the prevention of breakouts, i have no idea yet kasi may mga underlying pimples ako kaya from time to time lumalabas but atleast nagheheal naman agad.besides almost a month ko pa lang naman sya tinetake kaya i think its too early to expect drastic results..

reading up on gse. as i've started drinking glutha just today. will backread on the past threads na rin.

Mukhang okay ang vitaglow ah.

[viellemacey]

^yup sis..give it a try. im very satisfied with it...i actually order my 3rd bottle   

[rlin_0811]

May purging stage ba ito?

[viellemacey]

^sakin wala.. i guess it depends upon to the user. may mga nabasa kasi ako that some purge while some did not..hiyangan siguro

[spoiledbratinella]

ilang tablet tinitake mo daily sis and after when mo nakita ang effect? ako kasi im on my second bottle na of vitaglow pero i'm not sure if nageefect na ba sa akin..

[viellemacey]

^1st bottle pa lang sis meron na, nakita ko effect sa current pimples ko that time, madali silang nagdry..then my period came, amazed ako kasi saktong 30 days yung gap ng period ko which is never nangyari since nagkaperiod ako..i awe it all to vitaglow..but i don't know if it prevents future breakouts..

[spoiledbratinella]

^how about the whitening effect sis? may nagchange ba sa skin mo? does it moisturize or lighten your skin?

[cindylulu]

^if you're hiyang, gse clears problematic skin, but it doesn't necessarily lighten it. gse is a polyphenol, a super antioxidant. 20-50 times more powerful than vit c, e and beta-carotene. it provides cardio vascular protection as well as an anti-aging supplement.

 sisses, do you buy your GSE online or you just find it pharmacies po? I saw cosmoskin GSE in watsons, but I wasn't sure if it's a good one to get. What brand is often recommended?

[cindylulu]

^cosmoskin, avon, solgar, ho, usana proflavanol 

[viellemacey]

avon ! 
cheap but effective..

[minatay91]

 by any chance, HO is "healthy options" ba sis? @_____@ I'm not good with the acronyms. XD

[cindylulu]

^that's right sis. 

[minatay91]

^ can this be taken on an empty stomach po sis? I'm concerned sa statement "50x more powerful than vitC". Does this contain vit C? I tried taking vitC on an empty stomach, 20 mins later, I was wailing in pain and I vomited. @_______@ I was hoping to take this with gluta~ . . And I prefer taking these on an empty stomach talaga..

[viellemacey]

^i tried taking it with an empty stomach and after i eat, same lang, no pain..

if it says "50x more powerful than vit c" then i think GSE alone does not. what i'm certain is it contains vit p ( proanthocyanidins ). vit c and vit p are both antioxidants that's why they're comparable..
try to look at your GSE's supplement facts, you might notice that a different supplement is added, vit c..
 

OT: same experience with vitamin c, ascorbic acid form, but im not acidic naman.. i tried taking ester c (sodium ascorbate) and no stomach upset..
