Pycnogenol 50mg. 60 capsules

A potent antioxidant, maintain a healthy cholesterol balance, control the level of blood sugar. Reduces oxidative damage to vital tissues. Acting anti-inflammatory by inhibiting the enzymes causing inflammation.
Pycnogenol is a standardized extract from the bark of the French maritime pine (Pinus pinaster Ait.), Which have multiple biological effects, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer. The active ingredients are bioflavonoids group with recognized antioxidant properties that have the ability to inhibit the activity of certain enzymes that cause inflammation and damage in the body.
Pharmacological and physiological effects:
- Pycnogenol is a potent neutralizer of free radicals, which is now well known to cause damage in the body, leading to over 50 disease states, including the acceleration of aging, cancer, cardiac and arthritic conditions.
- In vitro studies demonstrate that pycnogenol is 50 times more potent than vitamin E and 20 times more potent than vitamin C. In vivo studies have also demonstrated that it is extremely effective as an antioxidant.
- Plant flavonoids are generally insoluble in water. Pycnogenol produced solely by extraction with hot water pressure is water-soluble. This means that it is bioaccumulable and easily absorbed. That is why it is so efficient as a powerful antioxidant and a means strengthening capillaries. Pycnogenol can easily pass the blood-brain barrier to provide antioxidant protection to the tissues of the central nervous system. This is the advantage over other known antioxidants.
- Prevent cardiovascular disease processes which are normal reactions in the process of aging or prematurely induced by stress and lifestyle.
- There is a particularly strong effect on the porous capillaries, which may be regarded as faulty network of collagen fibers. It enhances the activity of vitamin C in the membranes of the capillary walls and strengthens the collagen in the capillaries. Moreover, some components show antiviral and anti-inflammatory effects, antiproliferative and antimutagenic potential and protective effect on human skin against harmful ultraviolet radiation. Cytotoxicity of natural killer cells increases when taking Pycnogenol.
- It was found that Pycnogenol strengthens the capillaries and stop the attack of free radicals.
- Bioflavonoids in Pycnogenol bind to skin proteins, and protect them from degradation action of collagenase and elastase in the inflammation process. Two of Pycnogenol in bioflavonoids, catechin and proanthocyanidin B-2, inhibit hyaluronidase. Thus Pycnogenol protects hyaluronic acid - the main component of connective tissue, and creates younger intact structures of the face and other body parts. Connective tissue recovers its strength and elasticity.
- Pycnogenol is licensed by years in France for the treatment of diabetic retinopathy. French doctors concluded that he was the first choice in the treatment of this disease.
- In a clinical trial of smokers of them received Pycnogenol and the rest - aspirin. Smoking cause stress in subjects in good health, measured by appropriate biochemical parameters. It was found that only 100 mg Pycnogenol taken orally, reduced blood clotting, without prolonged bleeding time until a minimum of 500 mg of aspirin reduces coagulation to the same extent, but accompanied by unwanted side effect of the prolongation of bleeding time. The results of this study were recognized for the discovery and published as US patent (5720956) on February 24, 1998 Therefore, Pycnogenol is called recommend aspirin.
- Dr. Kohama of Japan reported on the treatment of gynecological problems with Pycnogenol. He pointed out that menstrual cramps, sensitivity and pain in the abdomen have decreased in a substantial proportion of patients, ranging between 66 and 100%. Researchers concluded that Pycnogenol helps partially alleviate the most serious forms of gynecological problems.
Toxicology Pycnogenol:
Long-term studies conducted in the institutes "Pasteur", "Huntington" and others over many years, confirmed its purity and safety.
- Pycnogenol is not toxic, carcinogenic or mutagenic, which was proven by several standard test systems. Even it was found that it inhibits mutagenesis.
