Pycnogenol is a natural plant product made from Atlantic pine bark, Pinus maritima. This powerful antioxidant is rich in proanthocyanidins, a special class of water-soluble bioflavonoids. Proanthocyanidins are potent antioxidants that effectively scavenge both water- and lipid-soluble free radicals. Proanthocyanidins also support the integrity of elastin and collagen, important constituents of connective tissue.

Excellent product, excellent valueSep 28, 2007
By John in Linthicum, MD Pycnogenol was recommended to me not as an anti-oxident, but for joint pain. Glucousomine/Chondroydin was not working, so I tried Pycnogenol from GNC and got great results. Knowing I wanted to continue the supplement, I looked to Amazon for the most cost-effective brand, and found Source Naturals. It works as well or better, and with Amazon's scheduled replenishment program, the cost is even lower, and I don't have to worry about running out.

Worked great for inflammationJul 20, 2008
By C. Combs I have had costochondritis (inflammation of the cartilage by the ribs) for almost a year and this finally helped me heal. I took 150 mg for 10 days and I haven't had any problems in over a month. Previously I tried physical therapy, rest, Tylenol, aspirin & oxycondone for the pain. Others have used ibuprofen for this condition, but I am allergic so I couldn't. I would recommend this (I checked with my doctor first) for anyone who can't take traditional anti-inflmmatory medication, or just looking for something more natural.

This Stuff's Great!Oct 31, 2008
By Flower It's terrific! I have asthma, nasal allergies and a prolapsed mitral valve. Any of these can cause breathing problems that get quite severe, ie, can't even walk a few feet without getting winded. I highly recommend pycnogenol. It helps both immediately and gradually. Take it immediately and in 20-30 minutes, you should get a result, but take it for a week or two and see if your breathing problems clear for the long term. Then only start again if your breathing problems recur -- this saves money on this expensive product. Good luck!

Pycnogenol, the natural wonder drugJun 24, 2008
By L. P. Zuber
"Linda Z."
For years, I've suffered with menopausal hot flashes and though I have worn the lowest-dose estrogen patch, the hot flashes continued, and I was miserable. Then, I read about Pycnogenol being used to alleviate hot flashes in a natural way, and that it had been used for years in other instances. I figured it was worth a try, bought some locally, and it was a true miracle...no more hot flashes. Then, I saw that Amazon had a better price on it and now, I will make sure I'm never without it. Even my doctor didn't talk against it as they do sometimes when you try an OTC medication. It has changed my life!
