Pycnogenol
Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract originating from the bark if maritime pine trees, which grow exclusively along the unspoiled coast of southwestern France. The pine trees from which Pycnogenol is produced are grown entirely without pesticides, and no toxic solvents are used during its production. These trees are ideal botanical sources, as the extracted components are not subject to the seasonal variations that most other plants would have been. This enables the supplier to have a high batch-to batch consistency in its Pycnogenol.
Pycnogenol contains a unique combination of procyanidins , bioflavonoids, and organic acids, which offer entensive natural benefits.
Pycnogenol had four basic properties:
- It’s a powerful antioxidant
- It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory
- It selectively binds to collagen and elastin
- It aids in the production of endothelial nitric oxide, which helps vasodilate (expand) blood vessels
