FACTS ABOUT
PYCNOGENOL®
Pycnogenol® is the trade name of
a powerful antioxidant nutrient that comes from the bioflavonoid family
of compounds. It is primarily made from the bark of the Maritime Pine in
France, from a highly bioactive substance called proanthocyanidins which
is Pycnogenol® active ingredient.
Pycnogenol®, in use since 1853,
as a health supplement, is a proven free radical scavenger and is 50 times
more potent than Vitamin E and 20 times more potent than Vitamin C against
free radicals according to European researchers.
Free radicals are byproducts formed in our bodies and are harmful to cells.
Pycnogenol®
not only has strong anti-aging effects, it also enhances other anti-oxidants
such as Vitamins and Selenium. It is quickly absorbed in the skin and
is retained for as long as 72 hours while it neutralizes free radicals
and prevents oxidation. This results in slowing the effects of aging; improving
circulation and strengthening the immune system.
Pycnogenol® is used in our refirming
skin cream called Revive,
Remove and K-Cream.
Pycnogenol® adds the following additional benefits;
Multiplies
collagen (a skin protein) and elastin binding, improving skin smoothness
and elasticity.
Acts as an internal and external sunscreen.
Suppresses inflammatory enzymes, decreasing puffiness and swelling.
Obstructs histamine formation, reducing allergic skin reactions.
Strengthens capillaries, arteries and veins, thus reducing leakage and
color lines.
Reduces the risk of swelling.
