As “Nature’s Super Antioxidant”, Pycnogenol neutralizes harmful effects of free radicals allowing the body to heal and repair itself. Pycnogenol also acts as a collagen stabilizer by binding to collagen and elastin in the skin. This process inhibits the degradation of collagen and elastin by destructive enzymes, keeping the skin smooth and youthful.The antioxidants in Pycnogenol also neutralize free radicals and slows down and even reverses skin damage from over exposure to the sun.
Yet another of the many benefits of Pycnogenol is that it restoreshealthy production of nitric oxide which in turn boosts cardiovascular health and endurance during exercise.
