- Potent antioxidant formula.
- Promotes healthy aging.

Pycnogenol is a powerful antioxidant derived from pure pine bark extract. Clinical research supports its ability to help strengthen and repair connective tissue and reduce allergic reactions. Organika's Pycnogenol contains optimum 50b mg potency per tablet and provides superior antioxidant protection helping to reduce the damaging effects of free radicals, support anti-aging and more.
A pure pine bark extract from maritime France, Organika®'s Pycnogenol is a powerful anti-oxidant that may help to protect the body from the damaging effects of free radicals. It may also be helpful in maintaining vision health.
Pycnogenol contains about 85% proanthocyanidins (OPC's) - powerful free radical fighters.
What are OPC's ?
Oligomeric Proanthocyanidin is the main active ingredient in Grape seed extract and Pycnogenol. OPC's are a group of flavinoids that have powerful antioxidant potential. In studies, OPCs are shown to be far more powerful than antioxidants like vitamins E and C. Additionally they work with the primary antioxidant in the liver, glutathione and recycle vitamin C so it can continue to fight free radicals. OPCs are easily taken in by the body and even cross the blood brain barrier to provide protection to our brain and nerves.
They are used for cardiovascular health because they strengthen the collagen lining of vessels, thus increasing circulation, and decreasing inflammation and blood clots. They also have anti-aging properties because they protect the body from environmental pollutants, keep tissues, like the skin, elastic and keep the immune system in good working order. In addition, OPCs stop the release of histamine thus reducing inflammation and allergic symptoms like runny nose, congestion and watery eyes.
OPC supplements are made from two sources, grape seed (Vitis vinifera) and pine bark. The cardiovascular benefits of drinking red wine are due in part to the antioxidants from OPCs. Grape seed extract can be purchased as a powdered beverage or encapsulated extract. Grape seed supplements should be standardized as an assurance of the amount of OPCs they contain. Pine bark extract is found as encapsulated extract. It should also be standardized as an assurance of the amount of OPCs it contains. Pycnogenol is a trademarked name for pine bark extract.
What is an Antioxidant?
Antioxidants are nutrients that help to protect your body from the damage caused by free radicals - the toxic molecules that play a role in the development of diseases from cataracts to heart disease to arthritis. While our bodies produce some of these free radicals as the "garbage" from some its natural processes, we are now exposed to more and more of them from our environment than ever before.
The chemical pollution of our air and water now leave us exposed to very powerful free radicals that we have never been exposed to in the past. In combination with the nutrient depletion of our foods from modern chemical agriculture, we now also get less of the important nutrients from it that would normally help our immune systems fight these chemical invaders. This is why many nutritional doctors recommend their patients take supplements of antioxidants.
How Antioxidants Protect Your Cells:
When a free radical enters your body, it is attracted to the cells that make up the different tissues of it just like a magnet to metal. It then bonds to parts of the cell, which causes it to deteriorate in a way similar to that which oxygen causes metal to rust. If the cell gets damaged enough, it dies. Worse yet, if the cell DNA is damaged and then the cell reproduces, it reproduces abnormally as a result. When this happens to our skin, we get wrinkles; when it happens to our oxygen carrying blood vessels, we get hardening of the arteries; when it happens to our joints, we get arthritis.
Antioxidants work by bonding with the free radical before it can bond to the cells of your body, thus neutralizing it. This now harmless substance is then deconstructed or merely excreted.
Take 2 Organika Pycnogenol 50mg tablets per day with meals and a glass of water.
