Pine Bark Extract, also known as
Proanthocyanidid, has the ability to inhibit the activity of
certain enzymes which cause inflammation. They
function as a formidable, highly potent antioxidant (free
radical scavenger). The proanthocyanidids in pine bark
have been shown, in clinical studies, to be 20 times more
effective than Vitamin C and 50 times more effective than
Vitamin E as an antioxidant.
Pine Bark Extract (Proanthocyanidid) helps relieve the pain
and symptoms of osteoarthritis, arthritis, rheumatism and
rheumatic fever. It has been shown to reduce histamine
production, thereby helping the lining of arteries resist
attack by the mutagens that cause cardiovascular disease.
In this way capillary integrity is restored, circulation is
improved and it becomes easier for each cell to get the
nutrients needed to function optimally.
Pine Bark Extract's remarkable ability
to "seek and destroy" free radicals is a tremendous boon to
health. By reducing oxidative damage to cells and
vital tissue, what we recognize as aging: stiff joints,
wrinkled skin, problems with degenerative diseases such as
arthritis, circulatory disorders, diabetes, heart disease,
etc., is held to a subdued rate. What's more, unlike
virtually all other dietary antioxidants, proanthocyanidids
readily cross the blood-brain barrier to protect vital brain
and nerve tissue from oxidation. |
