Pycnogenols are naturally occurring antioxidants prepared from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. Bio-Pycnogenol may help to maintain healthy skin and joints, healthy cardiovascular and immune systems, and healthy vision. It may also block the excess production of histamine thus benefitting chronic hayfever sufferers.
Pycnogenols are potent antioxidants, with an antioxidant activity approximately fifty times that of vitamin C. Because of the chemical structure of pycnogenols, they can be incorporated into and protect both the aqueous (cytoplasmic) and lipid (cell membrane) phases of cells from damage by free radicals. Pycnogenols are particularly effective as antioxidants in maintaining normal functioning of blood vessels, and the eyes, as well as for maintaining normal strength, flexibility and suppleness of skin. Pycnogenols also promote a normal response by the body's immune system to allergic or inflammatory challenge. This is of great benefit to people who regularly produce too much histamine and suffer from chronic allergic reactions such as hayfever.
