In this way, Pycnogenol proves to be effective as an antioxidant. Pycnogenol also contains oligomeric proanthocyanidins , which are substances even more powerful than vitamins E and C in their antioxidant action. These substances are capable of block the formation of compounds containing active oxygen , limiting the activity of harmful enzymes and strengthening the vascular walls. This can be particularly useful for Improve vein and capillary health , preventing the onset of conditions such as peripheral venous insufficiency and diabetic retinopathy. Additionally, Pycnogenol can protect the skin from free radical damage and improve cognitive function.

Can Maritime Pine help strengthen capillaries and vein health?

Pycnogenol® can also be of great help to people suffering from microcirculation problems , such as cellulite And water retention .

A very interesting study has shown that Pycnogenol® can help prevent thrombosis.

According to studies conducted, Pycnogenol® can inhibit the release of histamine from mast cells when stimulated by an irritant. Furthermore, Pycnogenol® has properties anti-inflammatory and inhibits the production of pro-inflammatory mediators , contributing to reduce swelling and facilitate breathing , improving the effects resulting from the release of histamine.
