Maritime Pine Bark 450mg | 70% Procyanidins
Maritime Pine Bark 450mg | 70% Procyanidins | 120 Vegetable Capsules

A standardized botanical formula with a clearly defined composition. Maritime Pine Bark provides 450 mg of Pinus pinaster stem bark per capsule, standardized to 70% procyanidins. Offered in a convenient vegetable capsule, this single botanical formulation identifies the species, plant part and concentration, making its key specifications easy to review without a multi ingredient blend.

Understanding the Maritime Pine Bark Formula

Specified Species and Plant Part

This formula uses the stem bark of Pinus pinaster, also known as maritime pine. Identifying both the botanical species and plant part provides more precise information than a general pine bark listing.

What 70% Procyanidin Standardization Means

The maritime pine ingredient is standardized to 70% procyanidins. This percentage describes its specified concentration and is distinct from the 450 mg medicinal ingredient amount per capsule. It is not an extract ratio or a statement that each capsule contains 450 mg of procyanidins.

Focused Ingredients, Convenient Format

One Clearly Identified Botanical

Maritime pine bark (Pinus pinaster, stem bark) is the sole medicinal ingredient. Standardized to 70% procyanidins, this botanical formulation offers a clearly defined composition without combining multiple herbal ingredients.

Clinical Research

Effects of Pycnogenol on endothelial function in patients with stable coronary artery disease: a double blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, cross-over study

European Heart Journal, 2012

Twenty three patients with stable coronary artery disease completed a trial comparing 200 mg daily of Pycnogenol with placebo over eight week treatment periods, alongside standard cardiovascular therapy. The extract improved flow mediated dilation, a measure of blood vessel function, and reduced a measured oxidative-stress marker. Blood pressure and inflammatory markers did not significantly change. This small study does not establish prevention of cardiovascular events

Oral Pycnogenol® Intake Benefits the Skin in Urban Chinese Outdoor Workers: A Randomized, Placebo Controlled, Double Blind, and Crossover Intervention Study

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2021

This randomized, double blind, placebo controlled crossover study examined 76 outdoor workers in Beijing taking 100 mg daily of Pycnogenol during a 12-week intervention. Supplementation helped maintain skin hydration and limit moisture loss and skin darkening during the dry autumn season. Skin elasticity measures also improved. Findings apply to the studied extract and environmental conditions, not directly to a 450 mg generic extract.

Cellular pharmacodynamic effects of Pycnogenol® in patients with severe osteoarthritis: a randomized controlled pilot study

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017

Thirty three patients awaiting knee replacement were assigned to receive 200 mg daily of Pycnogenol or no treatment for three weeks before surgery. The supplemented group showed reductions in several cartilage degradation and inflammatory markers in collected tissue and blood samples. This exploratory study investigated biological mechanisms, rather than demonstrating pain relief or cartilage repair, and did not use a placebo control.
