Pycnogenol inhibits the release of chemical substances within the body responsible for allergy and inflammation
What does Pycnogenol do?
Pycnogenol is a potent antioxidant, with an antioxidant activity approximately fifty times that of vitamin C. Because of the chemical structure of pycnogenol, it can be incorporated into and protect both the aqueous (cytoplasmic) and lipid (cell memrane) phases of cells from damage by free radicals. Pycnogenol is particularly effective in protecting components of the eye against free radical damage. Pycnogenol also promotes increased availability of vitamin C within the body. 
Pycnogenol inhibits the degradation of collagen, which is the substance responsible for maintaining the integrity of tendons, ligaments and cartilage, as well as providing the support structure for skin and blood vessels. Pycnogenol decreases capillary permeability and fragility. Pycnogenols help maintain the strength, flexibility and suppleness of skin. Pycnogenols inhibit the release of chemical substances within the body responsible for allergy and inflammation.
