What is Pycnogenol?

Pycnogenol is produced from the bark of the French maritime pine with the Latin name Pinus pinaster. The trees are grown on a 2.5 million hectare plantation in southwest France. All felled trees are replaced by new plants, meaning that the entire production is completely sustainable. The large quantities of bark that are a by-product of wood production are used as raw material to manufacture Pycnogenol, which is a bark extract. It takes about 1,000 kg of bark to produce 1 kg of Pycnogenol. It is important that the bioflavonoids are extracted from the bark within 48 hours of the tree being cut. No pesticides are used on the wood, and the patented extraction process does not use toxic solvents.

Pycnogenol is produced by extracting the outer bark of the pine tree. The fresh bark is pulverized and extracted with ethanol and water in a patented process. After being carefully cleaned, the crude extract is spray-dried and turned into a fine, brown powder. The extract is then standardized to a content of 70% +/- 5% of the plant's active substances known as procyanidins.
There are many different types of bioflavonoids in Pycnogenol, such as catechin, epicatechin, flavones, and taxifolin. Pycnogenol also contains a variety of fruit acids, including caffeic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, coumaric acid, and vanillic acid. Both bioflavonoids and fruit acids can be found in other fruits and vegetables, but not in a single plant and not in the same proportions.

Pycnogenol acts as an antioxidant and helps protect the body's cells against unwanted oxidation.

A very safe extract

Pycnogenol has been on the market for over 40 years. It has been clinically tested in a wide range of scientific studies and classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by independent toxicology experts and is therefore considered completely safe for human consumption.

What are bioflavonoids?

Bioflavonoids or flavonoids belong to a group of water-soluble secondary plant substances that contain flavones. They function as plant pigments and antioxidants. Bioflavonoids are found in fruit, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and roots. Bioflavonoids have several health properties similar to those of vitamins. This collective group of compounds was previously referred to as "vitamin P". The P stands for "permeability".

Consuming a sufficient amount of bioflavonoids is considered an important part of a healthy and varied diet.
