Vitals Pycnogenol 60.00 Capsules

Vitals Pycnogenol

Pycnogenol® is a patented and standardized extract from the bark (the outer part of the phloem) of the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), a pine species that grows on the southwest coast of France. Pines have traditionally also been referred to as fir trees. The extract is rich in various types of polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and organic acids (including ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, and caffeic acid). There is already a long tradition of using Pycnogenol®. It has been used as a nutritional supplement for about 40 years. It is now one of the most researched nutrients in the world, with over 300 scientific publications.

For athletes, Pycnogenol® can also be a valuable supplement due to its antioxidant effect, in combination with proper nutrition and training.
