As we age, inflammation and free radicals cause increasing damage, threatening the health of delicate tissues. Natural Factors Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract derived from French maritime pine bark (Pinus pinaster) and is a great source of antioxidants.
Pycnogenol is a popular supplement for people experiencing age-related changes and declines in natural antioxidant defence. It helps reduce climacteric symptoms associated with perimenopause, including hot flushes, restlessness (difficulty falling asleep), and poor mental focus. Pycnogenol may also help provide relief for symptoms of osteoarthritis of the knee, including pain and stiffness. It is also used to help reduce blood C-reactive protein levels, a clinical marker of inflammation.
The patented extract is sourced, using no pesticides or herbicides, from the bark of pine trees grown exclusively in southwest France. The concentrated formula is extracted using a chemical-free process that guarantees the potency and purity of Pycnogenol’s active compounds, offering standardized amounts of procyanidins and bioflavonoids. Pycnogenol has been extensively clinically tested and found to be effective. The antioxidant power of pycnogenol is 20 times greater than that of vitamin C and 50 times greater than that of vitamin E. This formula is non-GMO, suitable for vegetarians/vegans, and delivered in convenient vegetarian capsules.
