Proanthocyanidins have been reported to possess a wide range of biologic properties against oxidative stress. For this reason a recent study was conducted using Proanthocyanidins to see if they hold potential to protect against periodontopathogens. The study conducted in Canada, demonstrated that Proanthocyanidins have potent antioxidant properties and should be considered a potential agent in the prevention of Periodontal diseases. Periodontal diseases are diseases involving bone loss, pockets and recession of gums. More research is needed to confirm these findings.

At Bangalore University’s Department of Zoology in India, scientists conducted a study involving rats which showed that proanthocyanidins (PA) consumed in a moderately low quantity provides antioxidant protection of the brain. Researchers concluded that PA may have a potent role in enhancing cognition in older rats. This is possibly exciting news for humans, however, more human research would provide a fuller understanding of a PA/human relationship.
