Vegetarian Friendly Use: Pycnogenol is an extract from Maritime Pine bark. Pro-anthocyanidins (a subtype of the flavonoid family) are the main active ingredient in Pycnogenol
The first scientist to investigate the active properties of Pycnogenol was Dr. Jack Masquelier of the University of Bordeaux in France. His research began after studying some historical reports about an unknown ingredient, which came from the bark of the Maritime Pine and was successfully used by members of a research mission.
His research focused on naturally occurring Pycnogenol proanthocyanidins, which have been shown to have excellent antioxidant effects. In vitro laboratory experiments have shown that Pycnogenol has potent antioxidant properties similar to those exhibited by vitamins C and E
As a result of his findings, Dr. Masquelier created the pine bark extraction process and was awarded the prize for the discovery and designation of Pycnogenol as a free radical scavenger.
