How are we different?

Backed by 40 years of research, 160 published clinical studies, and 420 scientific publications, Pycnogenol® is the most extensively researched food supplements on the market.

As part of the patented production process, 1,000kg of natural, pesticide-free French maritime pine bark is pulverised, from which 1kg Pycnogenol® is extracted using water and ethanol. This corresponds to a concentration that is at least 10x higher than grape seed extract and other pine bark extracts on the market, which are also often extracted using chemical solvents. In contrast, Pycnogenol® is an ultra pure product free from toxic extraction residues such as methanol, acetone, and n-hexane. The climate in the South of France ensures a consistent presence of all active chemical components, which are standardised to a 70% +/- 5% of different procyanidins.

For the capsule shells we use custom-made HPMC capsules that, unlike most other HPMC and pullulan capsules on the market, are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans and PEG. We then package this product in environmentally friendly amber glass.

Pycnogenol

Original Pycnogenol®: A Unique Active Ingredient Complex

Backed by 40 years of research, 160 published clinical studies, and 420 scientific publications, Pycnogenol® is the most extensively researched OPC compound. It is also one of the most widely used nutritional supplements. As well as oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), this high-quality pine bark extract contains antioxidants, taxifolin, catechins, and a wide range of organic acids that make it a unique active ingredient complex that is effective even in low doses and is often referred to as a super antioxidant. The Pycnogenol® website also offers its own dosage calculator, which is informed by research.

Pycnogenol® and Prof. Dr. Jacques Masquelier

In 1948, French pharmacologist Prof. Dr. Jacques Masquelier (1922 – 2009) discovered a special group of polyphenols on the brown skin of peanuts. This group was initially named “pycnogenols”, but later became known scientifically as “oligomeric procyanidins” (OPC). The name Pycnogenol® is now a protected and registered trademark.

OPC

OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanidins) are a type of flavonol consisting of catechin and epicatechin polymers. Proanthocyanidins are among nature’s most powerful antioxidants and are found in a wide range of fruits and plants, including in the seeds and skins of grapes as well as in berries, citrus fruits and the protective bark layer of trees.

Proanthocyanidins are categorised in terms of their units: e.g. monomers have one unit and dimers have two. The exact definition of OPC is somewhat fuzzy—depending on interpretation, only di- to tetramers, di- to pentamers or di- to hexamers are considered OPCs (sometimes even all proanthocyanidins except monomers are considered OPCs).

For a long time, the only oligomeric proanthocyanidins considered bioactive were dimers and trimers, i.e. oligomers with 2 and 3 units. However, increasing doubts have resulted in a new appreciation for the complex relationship between all parts of grape seed extracts. Both pine bark and grape seeds contain large amounts of OPC, each with a different spectrum of proanthocyanidins.

Vitamin C

Each capsule also contains 300mg of vitamin C. This vitamin is naturally occuring in pine bark, grapes and other sources of oligomeric proanthocyanidins. OPCs are not particularly bioavailable, so combining them with vitamin C can be very helpful.

According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), vitamin C contributes to:

  • The reduction of tiredness and fatigue
  • Normal cognitive function
  • The regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E
  • Normal energy metabolism
  • Normal immune system function
  • The normal function of the nervous system
  • Protecting cells against oxidative stress
  • Normal collagen formation for normal blood vessel function
  • Normal collagen formation for normal bone function
  • Normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function
  • Normal collagen formation for normal dental function
  • Normal collagen formation for normal gum function
  • Normal collagen formation for normal skin function
  • Iron absorption
  • Maintaining normal immune system function both during and after intense physical activity
