Maxi-Health Research® is proud to provide you with our most advanced antioxidant formula Pycnogenol® Supreme. Pycnogenol® Supreme is a combination of the two most famous proanthocyanidins, Pycnogenol® and Grape Seed Extract.

Pycnogenol® is a natural plant extract from the bark of the maritime pine tree which grows exclusively along the coast of southwest France. Pycnogenol® represents a natural combination of genetically programmed constant proportions of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and organic acids.

How do proanthocyanidins work for your health?
As one of the most potent natural scavengers of free radicals, proanthocyanidins mops-up all kinds of aggressive radicals, before they cause any damage by oxidative stress. Pycnogenol® boosts the immune system and it strengthens blood vessel walls and capillaries. It supports a better circulation by preventing stress-induced constriction of arteries and blood clotting.

In every day life our body generates free radicals, especially in case of stress. These chemically unbalanced radicals cause damage to our cells by oxidizing them, in the same way as metal becomes rusty and destroyed. Hence, free radicals are dangerous and scientists believe that the continuous exposure to free radicals is the major cause of aging and also of many degenerative diseases. As super-antioxidants, Pycnogenol® and Grape Seed Extracts, counteract that danger in two ways: They stimulate our cells to double their antioxidative powers and catch free radicals in the blood stream.

Many women suffer from problems related to bad circulation: Swelling of the lower legs, cold hands and tendency to easy bruising for example. By sealing the capillaries and enhancing the microcirculation Pycnogenol® could be a relief. It also soothes menstrual disorders like cramps and pain.

How do proanthocyanidins affect the beauty of my skin?
Proanthocyanidins restore a good blood circulation in tiny capillaries of the skin. With abundance of water and oxygen and removal of waste products the skin is replenished with moisture.

What about diabetes and Pycnogenol®?
Diabetes produces oxidative stress and continuously damages blood vessels. Tiny capillaries nourishing the retina of the eye spill blood onto the retina causing vision loss. Intake of Pycnogenol® has been found to reduce the micro bleedings in the retina and to improve eyesight.

How about chronic bronchitis and asthma?
Asthma and chronic bronchitis are both caused by chronic inflammation of lung tissue. Intake of Pycnogenol® decreases the amount of circulating inflammatory substances in the blood stream and has been shown to improve asthma symptoms and the lung function. It inhibits those enzymes responsible for the destruction of lung tissue in chronic bronchitis.

More than 230 scientific articles and clinical trials have confirmed Pycnogenol’s safety, absence of toxicity and clinical efficacy over the past 40 years. Today, it is one of the most researched ingredients in the natural product marketplace. Published findings have demonstrated Pycnogenol’s beneficial effects in cardiovascular health, osteoarthritis, skincare, cognitive function, diabetes health, inflammation, sports nutrition, asthma and allergy relief and menstrual disorders, among others.
