Product Description
People around the world have used pine bark remedies to treat various health problems from coughs to wounds for ages. Pine bark extract comes from the bark of the European coastal pine, pinus maritime. The rough bark of this particular pine tree contains a rich source of flavonoids.

Recent research suggests that many of the compounds found in pine bark such as oligomeric proanthocyanidin complexes (OPCs) act as a powerful antioxidant in the human body. These OPCs are among the most potent antioxidants existing today and they seem to help cells defend against the damages of free radicals.

Free radicals, or oxidants, are unstable molecules with an unpaired (free) electron. Free radicals result when your body is exposed to air pollution, stress, chemicals, radiation or cigarette smoke. They can even result when food is converted to energy.

Unfortunately, these free radicals can build up and over time start attacking normal cells and tissues. When the body has adequate antioxidants, it can defend against these destructive predators. Antioxidants provide the extra electron to neutralize the damaging effect of free radicals. By keeping these oxidants under control, the body is better able to fight off diseases and recover from injuries.

In France, both the pine bark extract OPCs have undergone extensive testing for safety effectiveness. They have been shown to protect cells from free radical damage and increase the effectiveness of other antioxidants including vitamins A, C E and the mineral selenium. Pine bark extract is one of the few antioxidants capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier to protect brain cells. Further, researchers have found that pine bark extract provides support for heart, circulation and brain systems.
