Bio-Pycnogenol

Pycnogenol is the extract of the bark of French maritime pine trees and it contains a rich blend of natural antioxidants known as bioflavonoids, which are also found in many fresh fruits and vegetables. These trees grow exclusively in a large forest in south-western France, free of fertilisers and pesticides. Pycnogenol has been extensively tested for more than 30 years.

Why should you take Bio-Pycnogenol?

Pycnogenol fights free radicals - Free radicals are harmful, aggressive molecules that attack our body cells. Environmental pollution, tobacco and UV light also from free radicals. Unless we have sufficient amounts of antioxidants to intercept and neutralise the excess free radicals in our body, our cells begin to deteriorate. Free radicals are also responsible for premature ageing.
Circulation - Pycnogenol has also been shown to help maintain a healthy circulation and blood vessels. It may help maintain an appropriate supply of nutrients and oxygen and keep veins and capillaries healthy. Some people choose to take Pycnogenol prior to long haul flights and for a week after their return home.
Immune System - Pycnogenol helps to maintain a healthy immune system. Disorders such as asthma and hay fever result from an abnormal inflammatory response by the immune system. In addition, painful symptoms associated with PMS result from inflammation.
Pycnogenol works with Vitamins C and E - Pycnogenol works alongside other natural antioxidants. In particular, it has shown to extend the antioxidant activity of vitamins C and E.

How much Bio-Pycnogenol should you take?

Pycnogenol And the Skin

This helps to maintain soft and young looking skin for longer. Pycnogenol is one of the key ingredients used in all of the Pharma Nord skincare products.
