Arborvitae available in New Zealand! Pycnogenol® is an extract from a French maritime Pine tree.
This extract is taken from the bark of mono-species of pine trees grown exclusively in Les Landes de Gascogne Forest in southwest France
The forest is unspoiled and natural- with no pesticides or herbicides used.
The premium quality of Pycnogenol® components comes from the fact the bark is not subject to seasonal variations which makes it an ideal botanical source.
Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract is a naturally programmed combination with constant proportions of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids, which offer amazing natural properties.
Pycnogenol’s unique blend of active compounds has four basic properties :
It’s a powerful antioxidant (in fact it is 20 times more potent than Vitamin C and 50 times more potent than Vitamin E)
It acts as a natural anti-inflammatory
It helps generate collagen and hyaluronic acid
It aids in the production of endothelial nitric oxide which helps to dilate blood vessels.
