Our Pycnogenol® is sourced from pine trees grown in a pesticide and herbicide-free forest, ensuring the highest quality components. The patented extraction process adheres to Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) and is conducted in a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) compliant facility without toxic solvents. Sustainability is a priority, with the forest managed under French forestry legislation, requiring the replanting of fallen trees annually.

Pycnogenol® is a unique blend of procyanidins, bioflavonoids, and organic acids, offering unparalleled potency as a natural antioxidant. It is 20 times stronger than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E in neutralising harmful free radicals.

It works primarily by promoting vascular health and reducing oxidative stress in the body. Here’s a closer look at how it works:

1. Antioxidant Action
   It neutralises harmful free radicals that can damage cells. This antioxidant action helps reduce oxidative stress, which contributes to ageing, inflammation, and various chronic diseases.
2. Improved Blood Flow and Circulation
   Pycnogenol stimulates the production of nitric oxide (NO) in blood vessels, which relaxes the blood vessel walls and improves blood flow. This enhanced circulation can benefit cardiovascular health, lower blood pressure, and promote better oxygen and nutrient delivery to cells & tissues.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Effects
   The bioflavonoids in Pycnogenol help regulate the body’s inflammatory response by inhibiting enzymes that trigger inflammation, such as COX-2. This anti-inflammatory action can aid in reducing symptoms associated with conditions like arthritis, allergies, and other inflammatory disorders.
4. Joint Health and Collagen Support
   Pycnogenol promotes joint health by boosting collagen & hyaluronic acid production.
5. Enhanced Endothelial Function
   By improving endothelial function (the inner lining of blood vessels), Pycnogenol helps maintain flexible and resilient blood vessels. This supports overall cardiovascular health and can help reduce the risk of vascular complications.
6. Blood Sugar Regulation
   Studies suggest that Pycnogenol may help lower blood glucose levels by enhancing insulin sensitivity. This can be beneficial for individuals with diabetes or those aiming to improve blood sugar control.

By enhancing circulation, reducing inflammation, and acting as a powerful antioxidant, Pycnogenol supports a range of health benefits, particularly for cardiovascular health, muscle recovery, joint health, and overall wellness.

Pycnogenol® effectively combats free radicals, increasing cellular antioxidant capacity and capturing free radicals in the bloodstream.

Enhances the production of nitric oxide, improving blood flow, muscle contractility, cellular energy, and glucose uptake.

Reduces muscular pain and cramps, speeds up recovery after exercise, and supports muscle integrity as it is a powerful inflammatory response modulator.

By regenerating collagen and hyaluronic acid, it helps the body
naturally support healthy cartilage
for improved joint comfort.

Pycnogenol® is a highly researched supplement, proven safe for consumption even at high doses and with long-term use. While mild side effects like gastrointestinal discomfort, headache, nausea, and dizziness have been infrequently reported, it is recommended to take Pycnogenol® with or after meals to minimize any potential stomach upset.

Modex® is specifically formulated with aloe vera and papain enzyme in order to be gentle on the stomach
