The oxygenation process is essential for life and cellular activity, and therefore for physical exercise. During physical exercise an oxidative stress situation is produced, which can result in cellular oxidation and alterations in the immune system, causing cells to age prematurely. To prevent this, it is recommended to use high concentrations of antioxidants to minimize this process.
The phenolic compounds of the flavonoid family, among which are the procyanidins, have shown neuroprotective effects, and cardioprotective effects. The cardiovascular protection and antiatherogenic effects of procyanidins have been attributed to the antioxidant properties of these phenolic compounds derived from its chemical structure. Different studies have shown the cardioprotective effects of chronic ingestion of procyanidins on models of hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia.
