Pine Bark extract
 
Pine Bark extract - 2, 4 oz An extract of pine bark has proven to be one of the most potent antioxidants, a property that may explain why pine bark has been used in folk medicine around the world, according to a new report by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley. Lester Packer and his colleagues at UC Berkeley screened many natural compounds for antioxidant activity and found that pine bark extract, is the most potent of the lot. Antioxidants are chemicals that deactivate free radicals -- highly destructive chemicals that damage cells and contribute to many diseases, ranging from stroke and heart attacks to degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Free radicals even contribute to aging. In the past year and a half, Packer and his colleagues have documented a number of strong antioxidant effects of Pine Bark extract that place it among the most potent antioxidants, ranking with vitamins E and C, and lipoic acid. Packer also recently found that Pine Bark extract extends the lifetime of vitamin C in the body, prolonging its beneficial effects as an antioxidant. These beneficial effects of Pine Bark extract come atop immune system benefits reported last year by Packer and his group at UC Berkeley. They found that Pine Bark extract suppresses the production of NO (nitric oxide) and thus limits the collateral damage resulting from immune system attacks on viral and bacterial invaders. Excess NO has been linked to inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis and Alzheimer's disease. "It's not too early to say that Pine Bark extract is a good supplement to take along with vitamins C and E, and lipoic acid," Packer says. The affects of Pine Bark extract is a combination of some 40 chemicals extracted from the bark of the French maritime pine, Pinus pinaster, which grows in many areas along the Atlantic coast of France and into North Africa. Iinitial studies showed that Pine Bark extract is one of the most potent antioxidants. Pine Bark extract had been shown to have a beneficial effect on the circulation, primarily through its effects on nitric oxide, a chemical that stimulates dilation of the blood vessels. Pine Bark extract was found to constrict the blood vessels and increase blood flow. NO also plays other roles in the body, from destroying bacterial invaders and cancer cells to relaying signals in the brain. Pine Bark extract also extends the lifetime of vitamin C, based on test tube experiments. Flavonoids like those in Pine Bark extract seem to insinuate themselves into the network to help recycle E and C and extend their lifetimes even more. Above information on Pine Bark extract from - UC Berkeley scientists report by Robert Sanders at UC BERKELEY.
