Pine bark extract is made from the bark of the maritime pine tree
(Pinus pinaster), which contains naturally occurring chemicals
called proanthocyanidins. The maritime pine is native to the
western Mediterranean, with a range extending over Portugal, Spain,
France, Italy, and Morocco. Pine bark extract is commonly sold
under the brand name Pycnogenol. Pycnogenol is also the name of a
group of compounds that contain proanthocyanidins taken from a
number of natural sources, such as grape seeds (see Grapes) and
other plants. In addition to the Pycnogenol brand, there are
several other pine bark extract supplements available, which may
use different types of pine bark and have different formulations.
Pine bark extract is used for its antioxidant properties.
