Overview
- Pycogenol originally denoted all proanthocyanidin extracts, regardless of source. It now refers specifically to maritime pine bark.
- The mixture of proanthocyanidins in pine bark supports vascular endothelial integrity by stabilizing collagenous membranes.
- They also promote vascular function by modulating nitric oxide levels.
- In addition to facilitating vitamin C regeneration and preserving vitamin E, Pycnogenol is a potent hydroxyl and superoxide radical scavenger.
- Collectively, these actions promote the health of blood vessels.
- Pycogenol contains a minimum of 65-75% proanthocyanidins by weight.
