Pine Bark Extract The World's Most Powerful Antioxidant! Is bombardment of your eyes by free radicals which escape from the video display terminal something you want to quench? Are you anxious to counteract the sun's ultra violet rays, which are damaging to your skin? Do you feel discouraged from inhaling residual smoke exhaled in your face by others? Is flying to far off places worrisome because you know that ionospheric cosmic rays and x-rays penetrate an airplane cabin? Is low level radiation a constant health hazard from living under or close to high tension overhead electrical cables? There is access to the world's most powerful antioxidant. The patented nutrient Pycnogenol has been used for years clinically in Europe and demonstrated apparent effectiveness in promoting a longer and healthier life, and in maintaining, or restoring youthful appearance. Pycnogenol exhibits a remarkable free radical absorption effect. This is due to the level of catechin found in Pycnogenol compound, results showed that Pycnogenol actually potentiates the absorption of vitamin C by 20 times and 50 times that of vitamin E! Protects Against Capillary Damage and Other Troubles: Pycnogenol supports capillary resistance against fragility and rupture, therefore, it is most useful to help prevent diseased blood vessels associated with varicose veins, peripheral hemorrhage, diabetic retinopathy, high blood pressure and skin damage. Such capillary resistance adds up to nearly three (3) times over the effects in those patients who are consistently prescribed other types of nutrient flavonoids for repair of damaged capillaries. In a placebo controlled double blind study on people suffering from varicose veins, Dr. Peter Rohcewald of Horphsg Research of Dublin Ltd. of Geneva, Switzerland, reported that over 80% of patients who received Pycnogenol showed significant improvement with vessels. In another study of those suffering from severe leg cramps, 90% of the patients were rid of the leg cramps. Pycnogenol also is an effective anti inflammatory nutrient which helps in the relief of swollen joints, athletic injuries, and pain. How Pycnogenol Works: There have been over a thousand scientific studies documenting Pycnogenol's absorption ability and bioavailability in the human body metabolism by means of laboratory testing. Results show that the compound is like a cellular detoxifier. Absorbed rapidly through the gastric intestinal (GI) tract, it adheres rapidly to the cellular membranes in the veins, capillaries, and connective tissue (collagen) where it exerts a stabilizing effect on cellular membranes. It counteracts destructive oxidation by free radicals. Free radical damage is a common factor in a host of non-germ diseases including heart disease, cancer, arthritis, accelerated aging, and immune system suppression. Almost like a sponge, the catechin both adheres to and combines with free radical particles, the newly formed particles leave the body as waste product in the urine. Pycnogenol can be used safely and effectively in conjunction with other antioxidants such as vitamins C, E, and A, plus the minerals zinc, selenium, and manganese. The beneficial effects are proven by laboratory and clinical investigations and have been published in over one thousand scientific studies and medical literature in Europe.
