Product Introduction
Pine bark extract is a bioactive compound derived from the bark of pine trees. The extraction process involves collecting, flattening, and processing the bark to isolate key constituents. Central to its composition are compounds known as OPCs (oligomeric procyanidins), first identified by French scientist Dr. Jack Masquelier in 1947 from peanut shells. Extensive research confirms OPCs as potent antioxidants with non-toxic, non-mutagenic, and non-carcinogenic properties, ensuring safe usage. Pine bark serves as a reliable alternative source of OPCs, offering comparable quality and efficacy to other plant-derived variants, with minor variations in physical appearance.Product Specification

The antioxidant capacity of pine bark extract stems from procyanidins (OPCs), which exhibit 20x the potency of vitamin C and 50x that of vitamin E. As a renowned antioxidant, OPCs neutralize free radicals, mitigating risks associated with degenerative diseases, cardiovascular conditions, vision impairment, sun damage, and premature aging.
