From Source to Supplement: The Making of Procydin®
Ever wondered how your daily supplements are made? Each Procydin® capsule starts in nature as Vitis vinifera grape seeds, a natural source of powerful antioxidants. Through a carefully controlled extraction process, these seeds are transformed into the high-quality active ingredient used in Procydin®. Here’s how we go from raw ingredient to finished product.
The Source:
Procydin® is made using Vitis vinifera, a grape variety known for its high concentration of polyphenols — plant compounds regarded for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Compared to other grape species, Vitis vinifera stands out thanks to its rich natural profile, including resveratrol and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) — the compounds that give Procydin® its signature antioxidant power.
The Extraction Process:
Not all grape seed extracts are created equal. What sets the grape seed extract used in Procydin® apart is its water-ethanol extraction method — a science-led approach that balances natural integrity with efficacy.
The process begins with grape seeds being carefully cleaned, ground and soaked in a solution of water and ethanol — both safe, food-grade solvents that are gentler and more sustainable than the synthetic solvents used in some other extraction methods. This water-ethanol blend helps dissolve key antioxidants like OPCs. The ethanol is then gently evaporated, and the mixture is filtered, concentrated and dried into a fine powder — ready for use in Procydin®.
This method is widely preferred for its ability to extract polyphenols effectively while preserving their full potency. It also offers several other key advantages, including:
- Safe & Non-toxic: Water and ethanol don’t leave any trace elements that are dangerous for the body or planet.
- Preserves Potency: The mild temperatures and absence of harsh chemicals help maintain the bioactivity of the antioxidants.
- Better Absorption: The water-ethanol combination improves polyphenol solubility, resulting in a more effective product.
- Eco-conscious: The process is sustainable and leaves a minimal environmental footprint.
- Globally Compliant: This method complies with food and supplement safety standards in most countries.
The Supplement:
The result of this extraction process is a concentrated grape seed extract that’s naturally rich in proanthocyanidins and flavonoids — organic compounds thought to support health by combating oxidative stress and the wide range of diseases linked to it.
By combining this high-quality extract with vitamins E and C, Procydin® delivers a powerful antioxidant boost that helps the body counter the imbalances and deficiencies caused by the demands of modern life.
