The Product
- Vegan
- Pycnogenol is the trademark name of a potent antioxidant (free radical scavenger) that is extracted from the bark of a specific variety of pine that grows in Southern France.
- As determined by the Porter Method, which is the most accurate methodology available to specifically quantify proanthocyanidin content, Pycnogenol yields: 65% Proanthocyanidins 17% Organic acids, organic acid glucosides and glucose esters 15% Catechin and epicatechin (monomers) 3% Water. Although not technically correct, classifying all phenolic components as proanthocyanosides would yield 97% proanthocyanosides
