Natural Factors Pycnogenol

Overview

Natural Factors Pycnogenol is a dietary supplement centered on French maritime pine bark extract. The formula is designed to support healthy aging and is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is presented as a potency- and purity-focused product, with the brand highlighting non-GMO documentation and laboratory testing by mass spectrometry.

Pycnogenol is sourced from the bark of Pinus pinaster trees grown in the Les Landes de Gascogne forest in southwest France, near Bordeaux. According to the product description, the forest is managed without pesticides or herbicides, and the extract is positioned as a strong natural source of antioxidant support. Its stated roles include helping defend against free radical activity, supporting a healthy inflammatory response to oxidative stress, contributing to collagen and hyaluronic acid production, and aiding endothelial nitric oxide production, which helps blood vessels dilate.

The supplement is supplied in capsule form, with 30 capsules per container. It is manufactured by Natural Factors in line with GMP standards recognized by the FDA and Health Canada.
