What is Pycnogenol
Pycnogenol is a mixture of antioxidants extracted mainly from the bark of maritime pine (Pinus pinaster) and from the seeds of Vitis vinifera.
The most representative components of pycnogenol are oligomeric pro-anthocyanidins (80-85%), catechin, taxifolin and phenolic acids.
Property
The properties ascribed to the picnogenol are essentially antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, antiplatelet and capillarotropic agents (it preserves the collagen of the blood capillaries from the damaging action of the elastase enzyme); these extracts are therefore included in supplements intended for the treatment of edema, capillary fragility, cardiovascular diseases (atherosclerosis, ischemic heart disease, etc.), and in peripheral circulation disorders, such as venous insufficiency and its manifestations (tired and heavy legs, itching , swelling).
Pycnogenol, and bilberry extracts in general, are also successfully used in the treatment of diabetic retinopathy.
More recently, pycnogenol has also been proposed in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children, but its use in this current and controversial condition has yet to be clarified. Integration with pycnogenol may also be useful in the treatment of pediatric asthma.
By improving the body's antioxidant defenses, pycnogenol could also be useful in enhancing athletic performance in endurance sports, such as running or cycling, especially by accelerating the recovery phase.
How to use
The proposed doses of intake vary from 60 to 300 mg per day (usually divided into three doses of 100 mg of pycnogenol).
