Pycnogenol Superior 100 GOLD by Biogena

The maritime pine (Pinus pinaster), also known as the Bordeaux pine, is native to the Atlantic coast of France and can grow to be 300 years old. As early as the 4th century, the ancient Greek Hippocrates already appreciated the bark of this tree – and Hippocrates also saw more than just “the truth” in grape wine. Nowadays, we know that pine bark extract is a unique blend of natural antioxidants. The powerful antioxidant extract is especially rich in the valuable plant substances proanthocyanidins and polyphenols. The targeted intake of pine bark extract supports vascular integrity and healthy blood circulation. Research has also shown Pycnogenol® improves memory and mental performance.
