Description
Pine Bark Extract
Indications and Usage
Pine bark extract is a new nutritional supplement used for its
antioxidant properties, which are believed to be effective for a
wide range of healing and preventative purposes. Antioxidants play
a key role of repairing and protecting cells in the body. They help
protect against free radicals, which are damaging byproducts of
metabolism and exposure to environmental pollutants. Free radical
damage is believed to contribute to aging, as well as too severe
conditions including heart disease and cancer. Common antioxidants
are vitamins A, C, E, and the mineral selenium. Researchers have
termed the group of antioxidants found in pine bark extract
oligomeric proanthocyanidins, or OPCs for short. OPCs (also
referred to as PCOs) are some of the most powerful antioxidants
available.
The extract is used to reduce the risk and severity of heart
disease, strokes, high cholesterol, and circulation problems. It is
used in the nutritional treatment of varicose veins and edema,
which is swelling in the body due to fluid retention and leakage of
blood vessels. Arthritis and inflammation have also been improved
in studies using pine bark extract, as well as the uncomfortable
symptoms of PMS and menopause. The OPCs in pine bark extract are
recommended for various eye conditions that are caused by blood
vessel damage, such as diabetic retinopathy and macular
degeneration. Pine bark extract is recommended to improve the
health and smoothness of the skin, including damage caused by
overexposure to sunlight. Pine bark extract is a supplement used
for anti-aging and preventive care as well.
