Bio-Pycnogenol
Various studies have shown Pycnogenol to be one of the most powerful natural antioxidants in the human body. This wonder substance stimulates the production of antioxidant enzymes inside cells and reinforces their defence against harmful free radicals and toxins within the body. Research at the University of Tokyo suggests that the antioxidant potential of Pycnogenol is nine times more potent than Vitamin E and 45 times more potent that CoQ10! In everyday life our bodies generate free radicals. These chemically unbalanced particles cause damage to our cells by oxidising them in the same way that an apple goes brown when exposed to the air or metal becomes rusty when exposed to air and moisture. Free radicals are dangerous and scientists believe exposure of the body to damaging oxidation is the major cause of ageing and many degenerative diseases. As a super antioxidant, Pycnogenol quenches and overcomes the assault of free radicals but it does so much more! In fact this simple extract could be a major and dramatic step to improving the overall quality of health and wellbeing. It has a whole catalogue of positive health benefits proven in clinical studies and as yet more research is published consumers reap the health benefits of this amazing extract by incorporating it into their daily lifestyle routines. What can Bio-Pycnogenol do for me? Antioxidant defence: Used every day as a food supplement Pycnogenol can fight harmful free radicals in our bodies to defend against damage caused by cell oxidation. Behaving like hot sparks escaping from an engine they damage everything they touch so if left unchecked can result in degenerative and age related diseases. Reduced risk of heart attacks and strokes: Pycnogenol can normalise the activity of blood platelets responsible for blood clots. It can help to reduce platelet stickiness particularly with high risk factors; smoking, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes and old age; and helps maintain healthy platelet aggregation whilst protecting the inner lining of blood vessels. It can also supports healthy blood pressure and normalise healthy cholesterol levels. In some ways Pycnogenol acts like aspirin but the great advantage of Pycnogenol is that unlike aspirin it crucially does not extend the blood clotting process during an injury or increase the possibility of ulcers or internal bleeding. Circulatory Health: Pycnogenol can help improve circulation by relaxing the constriction of arteries and other blood vessels caused by stress, adrenaline and nor adrenaline. Pycnogenol has an anti stress function supporting a better blood flow during periods of stressful living. Studies have also shown that Pycnogenol improves microcirculation due to the increased diameter of micro vessels in elderly people with better circulation in the fingertips, toes and facial extremities. Skin Health: Pycnogenol binds to collagen in the skin to maintain skin elasticity a characteristic associated with youth that keeps the skin firm and can prevent wrinkles. Pycnogenol can also improve microcirculation of the tiny skin capillaries supporting better oxygen and nutrient supply, and better hydration as well as protecting against the damage of sunburn and photo ageing. The result - fewer wrinkles and smoother skin with a healthy and vibrant glow and tone. Diabetes Health: Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the major causes of deteriorating eyesight and blindness. The disease occurs because elevated glucose levels in the blood react with the capillaries of the retina resulting in brittle and swollen walls. This leads to blood leaking into the retina, which limits oxygen and nutrients from reaching the retina and lowers sensitivity of the eye to light causing gradual vision loss and possible blindness. Pycnogenol can seal leaky capillaries in the eye caused by diabetes and stop, and in some cases reverses, vision loss and improve sharpness of vision. Glucose Reduction: According to new clinical st
