BENEFITS:Anti-inflammatory properties to help produce collagen and hyaluronic acid, vital forhydrated and youthful looking skin.Improves blood flow to peripheral tissues, skin, and organs for better efficiency.Very potent source of antioxidants derived from French pine bark, reducing damage done to skin, joints, cognition and more.Pycnogenol is Nature’s super antioxidant, providing a number of health benefits.Unique SourcePycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract is extracted from the bark of mono-species pine trees grown exclusively in Les Landes de Gascogne forest insouthwest France. The forest is unspoiled and natural, with no pesticides, no herbicides.The premium quality of Pycnogenol®components comes from the fact the bark is not subject to seasonal variations, unlike other plants, which makes it an ideal botanical source. Theextraction process of Pycnogenol® is patented, and complies with the highest quality standards. The manufacturing plant is GMP(1) compliant, and the production process does not include any toxic solvent.

1. Boost Antioxidant StatusIf you’re overweight, out of shape, or in poor health, your body will produce an excess of free radical compounds that trigger inflammation throughout the body, damaging your DNA and compromising your health. Antioxidants extinguish these internal fires. Research has shown that Pycnogenol® – the patented formula of pine bark extract – is able to prevent and minimize this oxidative damage from free radicals.1Ensuring you eat a diet high in vegetables and fruit is also important to lay the foundation for robust antioxidant intake (coffee is another great source, just remember to ditch the sugar!).

2. Improve Erectile Dysfunction (Blood Flow)Studies on Pycnogenol® also show it has a significant impact on nitric oxide (NO) levels in the body, which are responsible for vasodilation and improving blood flow. A recent study found the combination of pine bark extract and arginine (an amino acid that also boosts NO production) were effective for improving mild to moderate erectile dysfunction.2If you struggle with low libido or erectile dysfunction, or suffer from high blood pressure, boosting NO levels in the body is an effective strategy for helping to reverse these conditions.

3. Balance Blood SugarsPycnogenol® may provide some added benefits for you if you struggle with high blood sugar, pre-diabetes, or diabetes. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 77 diabetic patients taking their prescription medications, along with 100mg of supplemental Pycnogenol®, found greater improvement in blood sugar control and cardiovascular health when pine bark extract was combined with diabetic medications.3(Make sure to talk to your doctor before combining any supplements with current medications you’re taking.)

4. Fight Off Common ColdsThere is nothing more annoying than a nagging cold; it stalls your productivity at work and in the gym. A study of 146 people suffering from a common cold found supplementing with Pycnogenol® was able to reduce the duration (i.e. the number of days) and severity (i.e. the intensity of the symptoms you experience) of the colds.4This is great news for keeping up your pace, even if you’ve got the sniffles.

5. Boost Brain FunctionIf you’ve been struggling with forgetting small details – like where you put your car keys or what you’re supposed to pick up for dinner – you may be suffering from the early signs of age-related cognitive decline. Stress, poor diet, and lack of sleep can all contribute to sub-optimal brain function, and while diet and exercise are fantastic for boosting healthy brain function, so too is pine bark extract. New research shows that adults over the age of 55, supplementing with Pycnogenol® over the course of one year, showed superior results in brain related tasks compared to placebo groups.5The researchers believe the benefits stem from pine bark extract’s antioxidant effects and ability to reduce oxidative stress (associated with poor diet, high stress, lack of exercise, etc.).

6. Protect Skin From Sun DamageGetting enough sun exposure and vitamin D is crucial for your health and vitality. New research shows that not getting enough sun exposure is as dangerous to your health as smoking.6Unfortunately; you don’t want to sacrifice your skin along the way. The addition of supplemental Pycnogenol® has been shown to offer protection from harmful UVB rays and may reduce hyperpigmentation and improve skin barrier function.7If you spend a lot of time in the sun, this can be a nice added skin support.

7. Reduce InflammationCytokines are a group of pro-inflammatory molecules that are released when you get a cold or flu, suffer from a fall or injury (or train too hard in the gym!), or if you’re struggling with a chronic health condition. Research shows that pine bark extract is capable of reducing pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1 and IL-6, responsible for many of the adverse effects of chronic inflammation.
