Vitals Pycnogenol

Vitals Pycnogenol
Pycnogenol® is a patented and standardized extract from the bark (the outer part of the bark) of the maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), a species of pine that grows on the southwest coast of France. Pines have traditionally also been referred to as pain trees. The extract is rich in various types of polyphenols, including oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and organic acids (including ferulic acid, cinnamic acid, and caffeic acid). There is already a long tradition in the use of Pycnogenol®. It has been used for about 40 years as a dietary supplement. It is now one of the most researched nutrients in the world, with over 300 scientific publications.

For athletes, Pycnogenol® can also be a valuable addition due to its antioxidant properties, in combination with the right nutrition and training.
