"Pycnogenol has been in my life for the last 5 years. My skin is radiant and supple thanks to its anti-aging properties.Previously I was paying $200 a bottle for this in the famous supplement store in the shopping centres. Now I'm only paying a fraction of that amount here, and they even deliver it to me! Thanks Vitadeals!" -product review by Samantha, Tanjong Rhu, Singapore

Shield your body from the harmful effects of free radical damage. Extracted from the bark of the French maritime pine, Pycnogenol is a water-soluble antioxidant flavonoid that stimulates the immune system. It also protects vital collagen structures in the blood vessels, skin and joint tissues all while fighting environmental stress. Pine bark extract and pycnogenol contain OPCs, also called procyanidolic oligomers (PCOs), which are also found in grape seed extract, reports the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC). OPCs appear to have anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiviral and antimicrobial actions and might act to stimulate your immune system, protect against atherosclerosis and prevent certain types of cancers, according to the Sloan-Kettering. Specifically, the OPCs in pine bark extract and pycnogenol seem to prevent leaking in the blood vessels, and the flavonoids called catechin and taxifolin in the herb stimulate nitric oxide production in the body, which relaxes your blood vessels, DrugDigest.org explains
