where to buy pycnogenol



Optimal doses of pycnogenol have not been set for any condition. Quality and active ingredients in supplements may vary widely from maker to maker. This makes it very hard to set a standard dose. Ask your doctor for advice.


Interactions. If you take any medications regularly, talk to your doctor before you start using pycnogenol supplements. They could interact with medicines to suppress the immune system, chemotherapy drugs, and blood thinners.


Pine bark extract provides many benefits to the skin, including reducing the signs of aging and improving the hydration and elasticity of the skin. Some of the reported benefits of Pine Bark Extract include: reducing wrinkles from UVB rays decreasing skin thickness, reducing skin roughness, improving visible signs of aging, protecting from UV rays preventing inflammation-reducing redness, decreasing melasma areas reducing discoloration, preventing photoaging, protecting against skin cancer. Studies found that pycnogenol may increase the production of hyaluronic acid and collagen, which are both found in many popular anti-aging products.


Pycnogenol is the US registered trademark name for a product derived from the pine bark of a tree known as Pinus pinaster. The active ingredients in pycnogenol can also be extracted from other sources, including peanut skin, grape seed, and witch hazel bark.


  • Allergies. Some research shows that taking pycnogenol before allergy season begins might reduce allergy symptoms in people with birch allergies.

  • Asthma. Taking pycnogenol daily, along with asthma medications, seems to decrease asthma symptoms and the need for rescue inhalers in children and adults with asthma.

  • Athletic performance. Young people (age 20-35 years) seem to be able to exercise on a treadmill for a longer time after taking pycnogenol daily for about a month.

  • Circulation problems. Taking pycnogenol by mouth seems to reduce leg pain and heaviness, as well as fluid retention, in people with circulation problems. Some people use horse chestnut seed extract to treat this condition, but using pycnogenol alone appears to be more effective.

  • Mental function. Research suggests that taking pycnogenol improves mental function and memory in both young adults and the elderly.

  • Disease of the retina in the eye. Taking pycnogenol daily for 2 months seems to slow or prevent further worsening of retinal disease caused by diabetes, atherosclerosis, or other diseases. It also seems to improve eyesight.



  • Attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Taking pycnogenol by mouth does not seem to help ADHD symptoms in adults. However, taking pycnogenol daily for one mouth appears to improve symptoms in children.

  • Clogged arteries (coronary artery disease). There is some evidence that taking 150 mg of pynogenol three times daily for 4 weeks might help improve some complications associated with clogged arteries.

  • Blood clots in deep veins (deep vein thrombosis, DVT). There is some evidence that taking a specific combination product (Flite Tabs) might help to prevent DVT during long-haul plane flights. The product combines a blend of 150 mg of pycnogenol plus nattokinase. Two capsules are taken 2 hours before the flight and then again 6 hours later. Also, taking pycnogenol 100 mg before a flight, 6 hours after the flight, and the following day appears to reduce the risk of blood clots forming in the veins during long flights.

  • Dental plaque. Early research suggests that chewing at least 6 pieces of gum with added pycnogenol for 14 days reduces bleeding and prevents increased plaque.

  • Diabetes. Early evidence suggests that taking 50-200 mg of pycnogenol daily for 3-12 weeks slightly decreases blood sugar in people with diabetes.

  • Foot ulcers due to diabetes. Early research suggests that taking pycnogenol by mouth daily and applying it to the skin heals ulcers related to diabetes.

  • Circulation problems in diabetes. Early research shows that taking 50 mg of pycnogenol three times daily for 4 weeks improves circulation and symptoms in people with diabetes.

  • Swelling (edema). Early research suggests that taking 100 mg of pycnogenol before a flight, 6 hours after the flight, and once the next day reduces swelling and ankle swelling.

  • Erectile dysfunction (ED). Limited research suggests that pycnogenol, used alone or in combination with L-arginine, might improve sexual function in men with ED. It seems to take up to 3 months of treatment for significant improvement.

  • Heart failure. Early research suggests that taking a specific combination of pycnogenol and coenzyme Q10 (PycnoQ10) for 12 weeks improves some symptoms of heart failure.

  • Hemorrhoids. Early research suggests that taking pycnogenol by mouth, alone or in combination with a pycnogenol cream, improves quality of life and symptoms of hemorrhoids.

  • High cholesterol. Pycnogenol seems to lower "bad cholesterol" (low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol).

  • High blood pressure. Pycnogenol seems to lower systolic blood pressure (the top number in a blood pressure reading) but does not significantly lower diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number).

  • Leg cramps. There is some evidence that taking 200 mg of pycnogenol daily might decrease leg cramps.

  • Menopausal symptoms. Early research shows that taking pycnogenol by mouth decreases menopausal symptoms, including tiredness, headache, depression and anxiety, and hot flashes.

  • Migraine. Early research suggests that taking pine bark extract (Enzogenol) by mouth in combination with vitamins E and C, daily for 3 months reduces the severity and likelihood of developing a migraine headache.

  • Osteoarthritis. There is mixed evidence about the effectiveness of pycnogenol for osteoarthritis. Pycnogenol might reduce overall symptoms, but it does not seem to reduce pain or improve the ability to perform daily tasks

  • Pain in late pregnancy. Early research suggests that taking 30 mg of pycnogenol daily reduces lower back pain, hip joint pain, pelvic pain, and pain due to varicose veins or calf cramps in the last 3 months of pregnancy.

  • Pelvic pain in women. There is early evidence that pycnogenol might help reduce pelvic pain in women with endometriosis or severe menstrual cramps.

  • Improving symptoms of lupus (SLE). Early research suggests that taking pycnogenol reduces symptoms of SLE in some patients.

  • Ringing in the ears (tinnitus). Early research suggests that taking 100-150 mg of pycnogenol daily for 34 days reduces tinnitus symptoms.

  • Stroke prevention.

  • Muscle soreness.

  • Other conditions.

More evidence is needed to rate pycnogenol for these uses.


"Auto-immune diseases" such as multiple sclerosis (MS), lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or other conditions: Pycnogenol might cause the immune system to become more active, and this could increase the symptoms of auto-immune diseases. If you have one of these conditions, it's best to avoid using pycnogenol.


Surgery: Pycnogenol might slow blood clotting. There is some concern that it might increase the chance of bleeding during and after surgery. Stop using pycnogenol at least 2 weeks before a scheduled surgery.


Pycnogenol might decrease blood sugar levels. Diabetes medications are also used to lower blood sugar. Taking pycnogenol along with diabetes medications might cause your blood sugar to be too low. Monitor your blood sugar closely. The dose of your diabetes medication might need to be changed.


  • BY MOUTH:For allergies: 50 mg twice daily.

  • For asthma in children: 1 mg per pound of body weight given in two divided doses.

  • For poor circulation: 45-360 mg daily, or 50-100 mg three times daily.

  • For diseases of the retina, including those related to diabetes: 50 mg three times daily.

  • For mild high blood pressure: 200 mg of pycnogenol daily.

  • For improving exercise capacity in athletes: 200 mg daily.
