Pycnogenol® – Pycnogenol 100mg or maritime pine bark extract, is a powerful antioxidant that supports the vascular functioning of endothelial cells by strengthening collagenous membranes. Pure Encapsulations’ Maritime pine bark extract has also been shown to modulate nitric oxide levels, and assists with vitamin C regeneration, while protecting vitamin E. This mighty antioxidant supports and promotes healthy blood vessels through these actions.

Pycnogenol originally denoted all proanthocyanidin extracts, regardless of source. However, 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. Pycnogenol® contains a minimum of 65- 75% proanthocyanidins by weight.*

Pycnogenol® promotes vascular health and provides powerful antioxidant support.*
