The Pycnogenol Phenomenon: The Most Unique & Versatile Health Supplement - Paperback

by Peter Rohdewald (Author), Richard A. Passwater (Author)

A complex of some 40 antioxidants extracted from the bark of French maritime pine trees, Pycnogenol(c) has remarkable healing properties. In fact, over the past 50 years, more than 300 studies have demonstrated Pycnogenol(c)'s health benefits, which scientists suspect are related not only to its combination of antioxidants but also to their inherent synergism. From enhancing circulation, physical strength, cognitive function and treating menstrual cramps and menopausal symptoms to fighting chronic diseases, including diabetes and heart disease, Pycnogenol(c) has been shown time and again to address issues that are relevant to everyone-adults as well as children. In this comprehensive guide, authors Dr. Rohdewald and Dr. Passwater take an in-depth look at the science behind Pycnogenol(c), exploring the research (often with easy-to-understand, data-rich, full-color illustrations) to shed light on the supplement's role in improving cellular health, energy, quality-of-life issues, and symptoms related to more than 20 different conditions. The authors also document persuasive case studies, detailing how people have used the patented extract as part of successful treatment protocols, giving readers insights into how to use this supplement to enhance their own health and well-being.
