Description
A polyphenolic extract derived from red wine or wine grapes (Vitis vinifera), capturing the cardiovascular-positioned polyphenol fraction associated with the 'French paradox' hypothesis. Distinct from Grape Seed Extract (catalog id 8403) by source (whole grape or wine, rather than seeds) and from Resveratrol (catalog id 8376) by being a broad-spectrum polyphenol mixture rather than a standardized single compound.
Reddish-brown to dark purple-brown free-flowing powder. Highly water-soluble.
We supply food-grade Red Wine Extract from manufacturers in China holding ISO, Halal, Kosher and other certifications relevant to the product and production.
Common market grades include Standard 30 percent Polyphenols, 50 percent Polyphenols (premium), 95 percent Polyphenols (concentrated), and Resveratrol-Standardized Red Wine Extract (combining polyphenol breadth with defined resveratrol content).
Bulk and reduced-MOQ shipments. Batch-level COA covering total polyphenols (UV), anthocyanin content, resveratrol content, alcohol content (typically ≤ 0.5% for dry products), residual solvents, heavy metals, and microbiology.
Introduction
Red Wine Extract emerged commercially in the 1990s following the 'French paradox' research linking moderate red wine consumption to cardiovascular protection. The extract captures the polyphenol fraction (anthocyanins, proanthocyanidins, resveratrol, quercetin) of red wine without the alcohol content.
Industrial production proceeds by extraction of dealcoholized red wine or fresh red grapes, followed by chromatographic purification, decolorization, and spray-drying. The extract preserves the broad polyphenol spectrum of red wine but in a stable, shelf-stable powder format suitable for supplement and food applications.
Recognized as a permitted food ingredient by the U.S. FDA (GRAS), the European Food Safety Authority, and equivalent regulators worldwide.
Strategic positioning targets the cardiovascular and longevity supplement segments specifically. The extract's broad polyphenol profile differentiates it from single-compound supplements like Resveratrol or Grape Seed Extract, supporting positioning as a 'whole food' polyphenol source.
Where it is used
- Cardiovascular-support dietary supplements (the dominant commercial application)
- Anti-aging and longevity supplement formulations
- Cosmetic skincare: antioxidant and anti-aging serums
- Premium functional beverages and wellness shots
- Beauty-from-within supplements positioned for skin health
- Natural food antioxidant in oil and fat applications
- Veterinary applications for senior animal cardiovascular support
