Pure Encapsulations Pycogenol
Pycnogenol promotes vascular health and provides powerful antioxidant support.
What it is best for:
The term "pycnogenol" originally denoted the generic proanthocyanidin extracts. However, it is now a registered trademark name referring specifically to the maritime pine extract. Pycnogenol (R) contains a minimum of 85% pycnogenols by weight. The maritime pine was the original source of proanthocyanidins studied and researched by Jacques Masquelier, Ph.D.
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.
Pycnogenol extract is derived from maritime pine bark and contains a minimum of 65–75% proanthocyanidins by weight. Ascorbyl palmitate is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and palm oil. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from pine cellulose.
