Extra Strength French Maritime Pine Bark Extract 20:1, 350 mg Per Capsule, 95% Proanthocyanidins, 180 Vegan Capsules, 6 Month Supply, Certified Kosher, Antioxidant Support, Non-GMO, Made in USA

This supplement came in a timely manner in a glass jar and appears to be working well. The capsules are easy to swallow, the strength is the recommended strength and I will reorder from this brand.

I started taking this stuff because I had heard about the superior health benefits. One thing I’ve noticed particularly for me as a side effect, is that it’s pretty much cured my acid reflux. I’ve never suffered with abnormal acid reflux, but for the last couple years, it happened a lot more frequent than normal, and the intensity was getting worse. I didn’t start taking French Maritime for this issue so it was a nice surprise to see it end.

Great product. Skin texture seems to be improving !

I have taken this for two weeks consistently. So far I have only had positive side effects. It has helped with inflammation. I will continue to use this and see if the side effects continue to remain positive.

This maritime pine bark is a great antioxident which helps the body in many ways, including joint issues, vascular issues and cellular energy conversion. I take it daily, as does my husband.

This packs a great amount of natural and strong ingredients. This capsules are easy to swallow and have really helped me not have to drink so much cranberry juice. Great find!

I've purchased this product once and have almost finished the bottle, so I'm wondering if I should buy again. My cardiovascular health has improved significantly since I began taking it, but I don't know to what extent this product has contributed to that, because I also take other supplements for cardiovascular issues. Though this pine bark extract is from the French Maritime variety, I don't know if it has been researched and tested as well as Pycnogenol®, which is a trademarked brand name for a specific formulation of French Maritime pine bark extract. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) says, "Due to its unique production process and the sole usage of the plant species of Pinus pinaster Ait. ssp. Atlantica specific to the forest in Les Landes de Gascogne in France, the standardized pine bark extract registered as Pycnogenol® stands unparalleled when compared with other pine bark extracts. The presented studies all used Pycnogenol® supplementation and the obtained results cannot be extrapolated to other plant or pine bark extracts." So the question remains: Is this product as effective as Pycnogenol®? The NIH study, published May 2, 2024, can be found by searching online for "Pycnogenol® French maritime pine bark extract in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies."

I’ve done research about French Maritime Pine Bark and was initially confused thinking that it was pycnogenol. Well I learned that pycnogenol IS french maritime pine bark but it’s own formulation of it. But they are both the same thing. This one however is much stronger and has more milligrams and extraction percentage. And I find under the brand name pycnogenol must of the formulations have a low milligram count. I got a bottle for my mom too who is 93. We've been on it about one month. We were doing video chat the other day and I notice her skin looked like she was 20 years younger. The funny thing is my niece was talking to her before me and had noticed the same thing and told her before I talked to and I didn’t even know that. Her skin was amazing looking—soft smooth and for her age much younger. I know the proanthocyanidins are supposed to be anti-aging and can increase your hyaluronic acid and collagen in your skin. I must say this must be the reason. I asked my niece was my skin doing the same thing and it’s hard to say because I look much younger than my age anyway and take various supplements and use serums too. But I definitely plan on keeping this in my arsenal because I have beat aging. I easily look 30 years younger than my 70 years. No one can tell. After never telling my age my whole life, I’ve recently found myself telling just for shock. And they are shocked. If I keep this up, by the time I’m 90 I’ll still look youthful. I have no wrinkles, no bags, no loose skin on my neck. Anti-aging is real but you do have to take care of yourself including exercise which I also have done my whole life. I didn’t buy this for anti-aging though, I bought it to keep my blood pressure in normal range and to keep my blood vessels open for good blood flow and then I discovered all these other benefits. You have to keep your internal body youthful too. I also use nattokinase (a natural blood thinner) and serrapeptase (which dissolves fibrin which is the culprit that clogs your arteries). Here’s to your health!!

Hay polvo dentro del frasco, las cápsulas también están un poco empolvadas, como si no vinieran bien selladas. Aún así las estoy tomando, llevo poco más de una semana y aún no siento alguna diferencia, le daré más tiempo y actualizaré el comentario. Por ahí vi que algunos compradores dicen que las cápsulas cambiaron, antes el contenido se veía más claro, o no sé si es por el color de las cápsulas. Son las primeras que compro, voy a comprar de otra marca para comparar.
