Healthy Origins Pycnogenol Pine Bark 100 mg, 120 Veggie Caps

I took grapeseed extract years ago and didn't really feel much, but in retrospect I was younger and mostly feeling pretty great. Now that I am more "mature," it's easier to notice when a supplement seems to have a good effect on me. I specifically tried this supplement because there is some research showing that it helps with tinnitus. A significant number of the study participants felt that their tinnitus was less loud and bothersome when taking it. Whether it actually diminishes the tinnitus or by improving hearing makes it seem less loud, is not important to me. Relief and the ability to ignore it is all I am concerned with, and this product has performed well for me. I will admit that perhaps I was poised to overcome this particular bout of bad tinnitus already, or maybe some of the other supplements I take have helped, or perhaps I had a bit of an illness and congestion which have cleared up. Let's just say that the effects are gratifying enough that I will continue to take this supplement. I also feel that anything that can help my veins stay healthy and improve my cognitive functioning, reduce inflammation, help with arthritis, etc. is worth taking. What I like about this particular form is that it is from the pinus maritime/pilaster plant (which are the specific forms which have been studied), it does NOT contain magnesium stearate, and the capsules are very small. I take a lot of supplements and would rather take a handful of tiny capsules than giant ones full of excipients along with the active ingredient. The price is very competitive and I like the 120 capsules bottles. I will continue to purchase this unless a better alternative comes along.

Every Friday, for many, many years, my feet and ankles swell like elephant feet. I read an article about a woman that used this supplement to stop feet/ankle swelling. I decided to give it a try. I got them yesterday and took 2 with dinner. Today is Friday. NO SWELLING. I swear that this has to be a miracle product. If swollen ankles and feet are your problem, give these a try. I hope that you are as happy and amazed as I am! UPDATE PLEASE NOTE: Just 2 days ago I read an article about some of the reported side effects that some people experience. Vertigo/dizziness was one of the could be side effects. I had Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) once and that was enough! I have NOT felt dizzy at all, but have made the decision to take 2 capsules after dinner closer to bed. Why? If I do have any dizziness, I am hoping it will be while I am sleeping and not when driving or at work. I will keep you posted.

I added this to my routine for antioxidant support and it’s been easy to stay consistent with. Capsules are simple to take and the formula looks clean without a lot of extra fillers. Taste: N/A capsules have no aftertaste. Energy level: Subtle wellness support, not a stimulant. Side effects: None noticeable for me. Ease of use: Easy once-daily capsule. Ingredients: Straightforward, non-GMO formula. Skin improvement: Slight improvement in skin texture over time.

Great supplement.

I'm so glad I tried this!! It really helpsme. It's expensive, but for the benefits I'm having, it's worth it!

This has helped clear up my eczema and also my mom’s joint pain to an extent. Will keep using it.

I’ve been taking these consistently for a while and they’re easy to swallow with no side effects, but honestly I haven’t noticed a big difference yet. Not bad overall, just not something I would repurchase right away.

Fabulous product—#1 in strength, quality, purity & price in my book. This was the second, & far superior, brand of 100mg Pycnogenol I tried (Viva Naturals was the 1st...I have no idea why it has a better rating than this one!). I love the fact that Healthy Origins doesn’t use any evil extraneous binders, fillers, additives or byproducts. Pycnogenol caught my attention because of all the positive, scientific research supporting its antioxidant & anti-inflammatory properties. I was particularly interested in reducing pain/inflammation in my neck (I’ve had extensive surgery in that area), & it’s skin health/rejuvenation potential. I HAVE noticed marked improvement in both. This is legit stuff—it’s the same tree/product/process (standardized 65-75%) & strength—note the French Flag 🇫🇷 symbol on the label—as used in all the studies, with none of the crap you DONT WANT in a supplement that is suppose to support & promote antioxidant activity in our bodies! I don’t understand why this product doesn’t have 5***** across the board already. Seriously! Keep it up, Healthy Origins, you’re showing there’s no reason something can’t be awesome for you & be fairly priced as well.

عانيت لسنوات من ألم أسفل الرقبة وأعلى الظهر الناتج عن التهاب المفاصل والخشونة وبداية الديسك والتهاب المفاصل النقرسي. لم أترك أي علاج ممكن، أدوية باهظة الثمن، علاج طبيعي، حمامات المياه الساخنة البركاني، وفي النهاية ظهر بعض التحسن من خلال استخدام قربة المياه الساخنة جداً. ثم شاهدت برنامج الدكتور سمير الحلو على قناة اليرموك الفضائية عن النقرس وقد ذكر أهمية البيكنوجينول مع مكملات أخرى. بعد ذلك قمت بشراء جميع المكملات التي ذكرها باستثناء البيكنوجينول لأني لم أعثر عليه في الصيدليات، وبعد شهر من استخدامها لم أشعر بتحسن يذكر. بعد ذلك قمت بشراء البيكنوجينول من أمازون، وخلال أسبوع من استعماله لاحظت تحسناً كبيراً ولله الحمد. اختفى ألم ومشاكل أسفل الرقبة وأعلى الظهر بنسبة 80% إلى 100%. سأتابع شراءه إن شاء الله، وسأشتري العبوة 120 كبسولة إلى ما شاء الله.

Good product

Value for money

There's only 2 Brand of Pycnogenol that are of more trusted and of good and pure grade (See Attach PIC). As Healthy Origin have smaller capsule size than Viva Naturals Brand, is good for both Children and Adult (that unable to swallow big capsule). I took Pycnogenol for Maintaining General Health as Pycnogenol®, a standardized extract of the bark of the French P. pinaster, has been used worldwide as a herbal remedy, nutrition and supplemental food in many kinds of degenerative diseases. Bark extract of French P. pinaster has been reported to have cardio-vascular and cholesterol lowering benefits, the ability to enhance microcirculation by increasing capillary permeability, significant free radical scavenging activity against reactive oxygen and nitrogen species, the potential to regenerate the ascorbyl radical and to protect endogenous vitamin E and glutathione from oxidative stress, and the potential to protect erythrocytes in G6PD deficiency. It also protects the nerve cells against beta-amyloid, or glutamate induced toxicity, accelerates wound healing processes, reduces scar formation, decreases histamine release from mast cells, and inhibits pro-inflammatory cytokine actions. Anti-inflammatory effects in asthma patients and reduction of attention-deficit disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms in children have been observed. Highly Recommended 👍👍👍
