Featured Ingredients

Pycnogenol

Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree, which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France in Les Landes de Gascogne.

The extract has three basic properties-it is a powerful antioxidant, selectively binds to collagen and elastin, and promotes the production of endothelial nitric oxide, which supports normal vasodilation of blood vessels.

More than 200 scientific articles and clinical trials have confirmed Pycnogenol's safety, absence of toxicity and clinical efficacy over the past 35 years. Today, Pycnogenol is one of the most researched ingredients in the natural product marketplace.
