What is NSI® Pycnogenol® Pine Bark Extract?
Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract derived from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. It contains natural compounds that may help promote joint health and comfort, cardiovascular wellness and more.

How Does NSI® Pycnogenol® Pine Bark Extract Work?
Its unique combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids has been shown to help relieve inflammation within the body. In fact, over the past 35 years there have been over 200 published studies and review articles demonstrating Pycnogenol's safety and effectiveness in relieving inflammation associated with joint discomfort and mobility, hormonal fluctuations and issues interfering with cardiovascular wellness, such as unhealthy blood pressure levels and poor circulation.

The studies revealed that the natural inflammatory relief and antioxidant properties found in Pycnogenol® inhibit the pro-inflammatory enzymes COX-1 and COX-2 and the inflammatory "master-switch" kappa-B (NF-kB). As such, daily supplementation with 50 – 100 mg of Pycnogenol supports joint health, mobility and comfort, offers relief from menstrual discomfort and promotes a healthy heart and cardiovascular system. 

Pycnogenol health benefits have been investigated in more than 50 clinical trials with more than 6000 people:

As a powerful antioxidant, Pycnogenol was found to help minimize oxidative stress in healthy human volunteers in a study carried out at the University of California, Davis. Investigations at a University in Germany have demonstrated in healthy individuals that Pycnogenol® has properties that offer relief from inflammation.

Pycnogenol was demonstrated to aid healthy vascular functions and helps relax arterial constriction in a Japanese clinical trial with healthy students.

A study conducted at the University of Arizona revealed that Pycnogenol helped maintain healthy blood pressure and blood platelet activity, while supporting cardiovascular health.

Pycnogenol also inhibits the activity of a digestive enzyme (alpha-glucosidase) which is required for absorption of dietary carbohydrates. By virtue of this effect Pycnogenol was found to support healthy blood sugar levels. These findings were published in “Diabetes Care”, a medical journal issued by the American Diabetes Association.

Numerous clinical studies with Pycnogenol have addressed benefits related to female discomfort, breathing ability, cognitive function, and eye health.
