Supplements, Pycnogenol 100 mg (a Unique Combination of Proanthocyanidins from French Maritime Pine) with Amla, 60 Veg Capsules

Three of these taken once a day keep my ankles from swelling, better than any other brand. Sometimes there is a shipping delay, I assume due to ingredient sourcing, but this is the brand to rely on for heart health and vigor.

I've been taking this twice per day for a few months now. I haven't had any expensive lab work done to test the effects quantitatively, but I have definitely had less sinus / respiratory inflammation than usual, my skin seems less dry, and I've felt better and more energetic (more youthful) overall. There seems to be very good evidence that pycnogenol boosts hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin production. It also improves blood flow to skin / epithelial tissue, and endothelial tissue. So it makes sense that it would have many potential secondary benefits.

When I was in poor health before, I took this along with L-arginine for a while and noticed some improvement in my sexual function. So, I believe this extract may contain polyphenols or some other unidentified compounds that can support the body. That's why I’ve continued taking it. Even now, when I’m in excellent health, I still make a habit of taking one capsule a day.

I tried it to see if it would help with blood glucose levels after meals. I cautiously say that my testing may indicate that it does. I will take a cholesterol test to see if it is beneficial there. Grape Seed Extract may contain the same active ingredient.

I like Pycnogenol for an extra bit of energy. Especially if I am doing a sports activity I find them very helpful.

I purchased this to increase blood flow to my brain, in a general attempt to treat a condition called cochlear hydrops. While the condition did eventually improve during this thirty-day period, it wasn't obvious to me that the Pycnogenol had anything to do with the recovery. I tried 1x AM/PM for eighteen days, then 2x AM for twelve days, but noticed no clear effect. After discontinuing more than two months ago, the condition continues to fluctuate at about the same rate as when I was on it. I noticed no other effects either, good or bad. Sleep, energy, focus, they were all about the same on or off of the supplement. You can try it if you want, at least it seems harmless, but moderate your expectations.

I pop one of these badboys every morning and I am ready for action! Focused, energized and motivated in literally 5-10 minutes. There is also and accumulated effect after 3-4 weeks for your well being, immune system, skin, etc, but the immediate effect is also just so great. My new #1 go to for morning pick me up. I take a Bacopa Monneri around noontime, as I feel taking another pycnogenol is a little too overbearing. Worth every stinking penny it costs by far

I have been a Pycnogenol enthusiast for years. 200+ clinical studies on the finished product ingredient, Pycnogenol, means there's more clinical data on Pycnogenol for BP, healthy veins, circulation, mental acuity (attention), hay fever, and even healthy skin, then almost any other nutraceutical. But what impressed me most, as a middle aged guy is the libido boost I get if I take this about 20 minutes before bed. I've warned my wife, if I take this formula before bed, then we're going to get "busy". So I'd encourage guys to give this a go and see if it's a reliable benefit for men of all ages. And a little secret, sometimes I'll take two before bed and I feel like I'm 18 again. Perhaps the Alma bioflavonoid in this formula is amplifying the Nitric Oxide activity of the pycnogenol. But whatever it is, I'm impressed with this combo and the micro-circulation boost I'm enjoying.
