Pharmacology

French maritime pine bark extract is made by extraction of the outer bark of Pinus pinaster. Recent research suggests significant antioxidant activity is primarily based on its proanthocyanidin content. Proanthocyanidins prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, protects the DNA from free-radical damage, prevents stress-related blood clotting without increasing bleeding risk, increases nitric oxide synthesis leading to vasodilation, has profound anti-inflammatory activity, protects the skin from sun damage, dramatically improves wound healing while decreasing scarring, boosts many aspects of immune system function, and also lowers blood sugar while stimulating fat tissue breakdown.
