Pycnogenol® (pic noj en all) is the brand name for an extract from the bark of the French Maritime pine tree. Maritime pine bark has been used in herbal medicine for several centuries but it is only in the last 35 years that the potential benefits of this extract have been studied extensively.

The principle benefit of Pycnogenol® is as a powerful antioxidant. The strength comes from compounds called oligomeric proanthrocyanids (OPCs). OPCs are stronger antioxidants than more common ones like Vitamin C and E.

Our bodies produce free radicals in the course of everyday life. Free radical production increases when our bodies are under stress or exposed to pollutants, smoke, or even the sun. Free radicals damage cells much like metal becomes rusty and deteriorates. Scientists believe aging and some degenerative diseases can be traced to excessive free radicals. Pycnogenol® works to “catch” free radicals in the bloodstream and stimulate cells to increase their antioxidant activities.

Pycnogenol’s® antioxidant factor helps boost the immune system and strengthen the vascular system. Circulation is improved by reducing stress induced constriction of arteries and blood clotting. Pycnogenol’s® benefits have been studied and demonstrated potential benefit in several different areas including diabetes, eye health, dermatology, joint health, and menstrual disorders. Research continues to reveal potential benefits of Pycnogenol® in a variety of areas.
