Solgar Pycnogenol provides 30mg of powdered French Maritime Pine Bark extract (Pycnogenol) per vegecap.
Pycnogenol is a natural flavonoid Pinus maritima, imported from France. Pine bark extract is a rich source of phenolic components including oligomeric proanthocyanidins, monomeric polyphenols (catechin, epicatechin) and organic acids (cinnamic, capric, galic, ferulic, vanillic, parahydroxybenxoic).
The official Pycnogenol website states...The extract has four basic properties – it’s a powerful antioxidant, acts as a natural anti-inflammatory, selectively binds to collagen and elastin, and finally, it aids in the production of endothelial nitric oxide which helps to vasodilate blood vessels.
Pycnogenol has differentiated itself from other ingredients in the marketplace because of its extensive research portfolio. More than 170 published studies and review articles ensuring its safety and efficacy as an ingredient have been completed over the last 35 years. Scientific evidence on its Antioxidative Capacity and protective action on the Vascular System have been published in the most renowned scientific journals. Additional published findings have demonstrated Pycnogenol’s beneficial effects in cardiovascular health, skincare, cognitive function, diabetes health, inflammation, sports nutrition, asthma and allergy relief and menstrual disorders, among others.
