Pycnogenol – one of nature’s best kept secrets
Here’s a little secret: it’s called pycnogenol – a unique plant extract containing French maritime bark (Pinus pinaster) that contains potent antioxidants (it’s approximately 20 times more antioxidant than vitamin C), and is a natural source of proanthocyanidins. Pycnogenol supplements demonstrate antioxidant effects that may stimulate the immune system and potentially improve blood flow in research.
How does it do this? Pycnogenol's powerful antioxidants protect cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. These are substances created by our own metabolism, as well as environmental factors such as smoking, air pollution, and UV light exposure. Too many free radicals may be harmful to the body, and are linked to many degenerative diseases.
Because of the chemical structure of Pycnogenol, it can be incorporated into and protect both the aqueous (cytoplasmic) and lipid (cell membrane) phases of cells from damage by free radicals. It also promotes increased availability of vitamin C within the body.
A widely studied area of research
Studies demonstrate that Pycnogenol antioxidants are particularly effective for maintaining the healthy functioning of blood vessels and the eyes, and can help to support a normal response by the body to an allergic or inflammatory challenge.
Pycnogenol tablets may also contribute to healthy skin by maintaining its strength, flexibility and suppleness to combat the ageing process. Scientific research also shows that Pycnogenol can also help improve heart health and circulation, joint health, seasonal itchy eyes and runny nose, glucose control, menstrual discomfort, and skin issues. It really is a wonder of nature!
