Pycnogenol is a powerful natural extract which provides effective antioxidant protection for several systems of the body, including circulation, skin health and cardiovascular health.
A special blend of bioflavanoids, Pycnogenol combines the powerful antioxidant effects of these active compounds to help combat the harmful effects of cell damaging 'free radical' molecules. It works synergistically with other antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, re-energising them to improve their function within the body.The subject of numerous studies, research suggests that pycnogenol helps to improve micro-circulation within the blood vessels. This together with its natural antioxidant properties, may in turn increase cardiovascular function, reduce inflammation and help to protect the skin from the ageing effects of free radicals.
Each of Healthspan´s Pycnogenol tablets contain 30mg of pine bark extract, derived from trees that have been cultivated over a period of 30-50 years, and grown without the use of pesticides or herbicides in the expansive natural forest of Les Landes in south-west France. Each tablet guarantees 95% of the active compounds, bioflavanoids and fruit acids.
