Pycnogenol ® is an extract from the bark of the maritime pine. Proanthocyanidins, a subgroup of plant of the family of flavonoids compounds, are the key component in Pycnogenol ®.
Pycnogenol ® was researched for the first time by Dr. Jack Masquelier, of the University of Bordeaux, France, after reading about an unknown substance that members of an expedition had been used successfully. His research focused on Pycnogenol ® Proanthocyanidins, renowned for its significant antioxidant effects. The tests in vitro showed that Pycnogenol ® has powerful antioxidant properties similar to those of the vitamins C and e.
as a consequence of the results, Dr. Masquelier developed the pine bark extraction process and awarded a patent in the United States for the use of Pycnogenol ® as a destroyer of radical free.
