Grape Seed Extract Explained: What "95% Proanthocyanidins" Means

By the Zespo team · Updated 26 October 2026

Grape seed extract is made from the seeds of grapes (Vitis vinifera), usually collected as a by-product of juice and wine making, then dried and extracted.

What are proanthocyanidins?

Grape seeds are rich in proanthocyanidins, also called OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins), a group of natural plant polyphenols that also give grape skins and red wine part of their astringent taste.

What does "95%" mean?

An extract standardised to 95% proanthocyanidins contains about 95 mg of proanthocyanidins in every 100 mg of extract. So 500 mg of a 95% extract provides roughly 475 mg of proanthocyanidins. Labels without a percentage give no guarantee.

What to check before you buy

  • The amount of each ingredient per serving, not just per capsule
  • How many capsules make one serving and how many servings are in the pack
  • Whether any ingredient sits inside an undisclosed "proprietary blend"
  • An FSSAI licence number and the veg/non-veg mark on the pack
