Product Review

Pine bark extract contains proanthocyanidin which is a bioflavonoid, another type of antioxidant. This particular extract is derived from the pinis massoniana tree. Antioxidants are very important to the body because they are able to protect healthy cells from being damaged by what is known as free radicals. These are molecules that are created during the natural metabolic process which see to harm healthy cells. There are many antioxidants out there that perform the same actions as pine bark extract with varying degrees of success. Some of this extractÆs peers include vitamins A, C, and E as well as selenium. However, the OPCs (oligomeric proanthocyanodins, the scientific name for the specific type of antioxidants found in pine bark) present in pine bark extract are some of the most potent forms of antioxidants that can be found in nature.
