Pycnogenol - an extract of the bark of the French maritime
pine tree contains monomeric bioflavonoids as catechin, taxifolin and
various fruit acids. It acts as an exceptional anti-oxidant, so powerful
it protects Vitamin E from oxidation and recycles oxidized Vitamin C to
extend its bioactivity. Through its affinity to collagen and elastin,
Pycnogenol® shields these from destruction by free radicals and degradative
enzymes. Pycnogenol® also acts as an anti-inflammatory and improves
the microcirculation of tiny skin capillaries. more
