- Subjects must have normal serum phosphate and serum calcium levels:
- Serum Phosphate \> 2.3 and \< 4.8 mg/dL
- Serum Calcium \> 8.5 and \< 10.5
- Subjects may be receiving anti-cancer treatment, but this treatment should be have been instituted at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment, and may not change during the study period.
Exclusion
- Uncontrolled cancer requiring the institution of new anti-cancer therapy during the study period.

- Pregnancy or breast feeding
- Any history of allergies to grapes or grape seed.
- Current treatment with lenalidomide, thalidomide, imipquimod, interferon, cytokines (G-CSF, GM-CSF, IL-1Rα), TNFα antagonists, or Lithium.
