Viridian Grape Seed Extract 95% OPCs 100mg (90 Capsules)

Grape seed extract is one of those quietly-popular products that has built a reputation as a no-nonsense daily antioxidant. Viridian's version is standardised to 95% OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins, the active compound class grape seed is known for) at 100mg per capsule, which is the kind of dose that actually delivers a meaningful amount of the active.

This is the sort of product that doesn't shout. It just sits in customers' daily routines and quietly earns repeat orders.

What OPCs are and why people take grape seed

OPCs are a family of plant compounds in the broader polyphenol class. They're found naturally in grape seeds, grape skins, pine bark, and a handful of other plants. As a supplement, grape seed extract has been a popular daily antioxidant choice for decades, often used by customers working on heart and circulation routines, skin support, or general daily wellbeing.

Grape seed itself doesn't have an EFSA authorised health claim, so we'll keep this honest: it has long-standing widespread use as a daily antioxidant supplement, and the 95% OPC standardisation tells you you're getting a real concentration of the active compound profile rather than a powdered seed pressed into a tablet.

Who tends to take it

Customers working on heart and circulation routines as part of a broader healthy lifestyle. People who want a sensible daily antioxidant alongside vitamin C and E. Skin-focused customers who include it in a beauty-from-within routine. Midlife customers wanting a no-nonsense daily polyphenol option.

It pairs well with a quality vitamin C (vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal collagen formation) and a sensible omega-3. Browse the Heart & Cholesterol collection and the Beauty From Within collection for related routines.

Why the standardisation matters

The "95% OPCs" line on the label isn't marketing fluff. It's a real measure of how much of the active compound is in each capsule. A cheap grape seed product without standardisation can vary wildly batch to batch. A properly standardised extract is consistent and gives you the dose you'd expect every time.

This is the way Viridian formulate botanicals across the board. The brand has built a long-term reputation by sourcing quality raw materials and using genuine extract standardisations rather than label theatre.

The surrounding capsule is the usual Viridian standard. No magnesium stearate, no titanium dioxide, no synthetic colourings. Vegetarian-suitable shell. More on the brand in the Viridian collection.

How to take it

One capsule daily with food, or as your practitioner advises. Like most polyphenol-based antioxidants, grape seed works best as a consistent daily routine rather than an on-off habit. Give it a steady run rather than judging it after a fortnight.

Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without practitioner advice. If you're on prescription medication, particularly blood thinners (warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), check with your pharmacist first. Grape seed may have a mild effect on blood clotting at higher doses.
