This Pine Bark extract contains 95% Proanthocyanidins extracted from Pinus Massoniana LambCustomers, please note that this product is NOT Pycnogenol tmPycnogenol tm is the patented trade name for Proanthocyanidins extracted from the French maritime pine, Pinus maritima.

Pine Bark Extract (95% Proanthocyanidins) has shown qualities that make it useful for antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, capillary health, to increase skin elasticity, for UV protection, and for healing. Since it both increases elasticity, and helps with blood flow, it is a good choice for anti aging formulations.

Pine bark proanthocyanidins have antioxidant, anti-allergy, anti- inflammatory, and wound healing properties.  Pine bark proanthocyanidins protect capillary walls, help promote tissue elasticity, restore collagen, improve peripheral circulation and inhibit enzymes that break down collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin (elastase). 

 

"Proanthocyanidins are believed to inhibit production of free radicals and inflammatory pathways, such as histamine, serine protease, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes."
