Angel, you're right. That's VERY strange. An aromatase inhibitor?
I doubt that Whitex added the grape seed in order to block aromatase. They probably added it because it contains vitamin E, but it still seems weird.
While searching for studies on grape seed extract and aromatse, I found some evidence that hops and red clover also inhibit aromatase. This is totally unexpected, and I don't know what to make of it. The endocrine system is a hell of lot more complicated than the simple caricature we make of it on these forums. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3074486/ Scroll down to "Natural product extracts tested for aromatase inhibition".
