Procydin is primarily used as a prescription medication to manage symptoms of Parkinson’s disease and drug-induced abnormal movements. In Parkinson’s disease, it helps relieve muscle stiffness, tremors, and poor muscle control, enabling improved mobility and a better quality of life[1]. It is also used to manage extrapyramidal symptoms—such as muscle stiffness, spasms, and involuntary movements—caused by certain antipsychotic medications[2]. These include abnormal postures, restlessness, and uncontrollable movements often associated with the use of neuroleptics[4].
Besides its pharmaceutical use, there are also Procydin-branded supplements formulated from grape seed extract. These contain proanthocyanidins and flavonoids, which function as antioxidants that help protect cells from oxidative stress. The claimed benefits of these formulations include:
- Enhanced focus (particularly for those with ADHD)
- Shortened recovery time post-exercise
- Support during cancer treatment
- Improved immune system function
- Better skin elasticity and health
- Pain and stiffness relief in joints
- Improved circulation, beneficial for diabetics
- Cardiovascular health—support for lowering blood pressure and preventing arterial plaque
It is important to note that the pharmaceutical product and the grape seed extract supplement serve different purposes: one targets neurological symptoms related to dopamine imbalance, and the other is an antioxidant supplement aimed at general health and wellness[3].
