Nature's Way Pycnogenol - 50 mg - 30 Tablets

I've been taking Pycnogenols for years to relieve repetitive stress syndrome in my right arm caused in part by an old wrist injury and by heavy computer use for work. Real pycnogenols eliminate the pain completely -- it has to be Maritime Pine Bark. The company I used to buy them from changed the ingredients -- bad deal -- and those stopped working for me. So i switched to Nature's Way, whose products I've always found to be very good, when I saw that the ingredients on these are actually Maritime Pine Bark. They work! I take 100 to 150 mg a day. Not only do they take the pain away, but help my skin and energy level. I suggest only getting pycnogenols that are from Maritime Pine Bark, the true pycnogenol, and keep it pure - no added ingredients. Take 1 milligram per pound of body weight for the first two weeks and then see what happens.

I will continue to use pycnogenol along with all of the other healthy lifestyle changes I have made. I am a graduate student and sometimes my workload can be overwhelming. I was starting to get tired often, eat irregularly, and was very irritable. I cannot drink coffee because it is too acidic and I can't handle too much caffeine. After taking thing product, one tablet every morning along with green tea, I felt energized and more resilient to stressors. I have to be on my feet recall newly learned information and lately I feel on point! So I think pycnogenol may help improve cognitive processing. I have conducted my research but must admit there are still some claims made that have not been fully supported with scientific research, yet, overall I feel amazing! So I recommend pycnogenol and encourage optimal health. It is not recommended however for people who have immune disorders since it activates your immune system.

They definitely smell a bit like pine. But they work like a charm. My chiro recommended them to help with my plantars, they help increase circulation and reduce inflammation. The quality I feel is important and so far this has been a great brand.

No man want to admit to ED episodes, it embarrassing. Pycnogenol is not magical, it's not the lil blue pill. But tacking it with L-arginine, DHEA & zinc picolinate has worked for me to truly start solving the problem not just treating the symptom. Within a week I have been able to start achieving erections again naturally. I know that the Pycnogenol & L-arginine specifically work in together concert with each other. From what I have read in what few true medical studies have been done out there, over a months span these have even better results. I will update this over time, but the take away is it works. Heck I have even been waking up with morning wood again.

A kind & savvy reviewer taught Pycnogenol can lower blood sugar, which is great for diabetics but since I'm hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) I take it after protein dinner when it's ok to feel tired for bedtime, best time anyway since sleep is when body repairs/cleanses/detoxes as Pycnogenol aids. Also learned from reviewers that "all companies use same French Maritime Pine Bark Pycnogenol source," so choose your preferred medium (we like powders & liquids over softgels over tablets over hard gelatin capsules) at minimum 50mg effective dose & best price reputable brand & shipper without hindering & toxic Magnesium Stearate, & also learned from a reviewer "ALWAYS CHECK EXPIRATION DATES on all supplements inc from Amazon"! Good price on Subscribe & Save, though Healthy Origins higher dose/bigger bottle better price but not sure of either brand's effectiveness as none of them are removing the brown "liver" "age" spots from the backs of my hands like Pycnogenol used to--I guess since I'm older & more toxic (longtime MCS: Multiple Chemical Sensitivities). But I still take it for detox, and give it to pre-Glaucoma hubby for ocular pressure (unrelated to blood pressure).
