Pycnogenol is a natural plant product made from the bark of European coastal pine, Pinus maritima. Pycnogenol is rich in proanthocyanidins, a special class of water-soluble antioxidant flavonoids which are excellent free radical scavengers. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated that Pycnogenol helps to maintain vascular strength and function. In addition, Pycnogenol has been shown to support a healthy, balanced inflammatory response.
