Some followup comments that have emerged from a recent Rosacea News article on Grape Seed Extract + Vitamin C increases Blood Pressure. This article finished with the conclusion

Although the mechanism remains to be elucidated, these results suggest caution for hypertensive subjects taking supplements containing combinations of vitamin C and polyphenols.

A subsequent thread on The Rosacea Forum was wanting to downplay the significance of this study.

Some further comments from the Published Article’s Author:

This research has been published in a peer-reviewed journal following a rigorous review process.
