Pycnogenol® is a trademarked standardized extract from the bark of maritime pine, rich in proanthocyanidins, a family of plant compounds-flavonoids. It is the subject of extensive scientific research regarding its role in circulation and blood vessels, but currently does not have an approved health claim by the EFSA, so it is presented here as an ingredient, without a specific health claim for circulation, blood vessels or inflammation, regardless of the manufacturer.
It suits adults who want to cover their intake of proanthocyanidins, as part of a balanced diet. The product is not intended for the prevention, treatment or cure of cardiovascular disease or any other medical condition, and does not replace a medical diagnosis. Anyone with a diagnosed cardiovascular condition or circulatory problem should consult a doctor for appropriate evaluation and treatment.

There are various plant extracts rich in flavonoids (green tea, grape, pine bark) on the market, with different standardization and concentration of active compounds. The choice often depends on the standardization of the extract and previous experience with its use, always in consultation with a pharmacist before choosing the appropriate formulation.
Pycnogenol is one of the most studied standardized plant extracts on the market, with many clinical studies examining its role in various areas, such as venous insufficiency, sports and skin health. However, none of these studies have currently led to an approved health claim at EU level, so any mention of potential benefits remains at a research level, not at the level of a documented, approved claim.
