In 1534, there is documentation that suggests North American Indians treated French explorers suffering from vitamin C deficiency, by feeding them tea from the needles and bark of certain pine trees. With naturally occurring traces of vitamin C, centuries later, in the early 1920’s, a gentleman called Charles Haimoff developed a unique substance, Pycnogenol; a water-soluble flavonoid extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree. This is the founding story of Horphag the company Solgar has partnered with for its Pycnogenol products.

In pine bark, scientists have identified a type of bioflavonoid called proanthocyanidins that are non-toxic, water-soluble, highly bioavailable and highly effective vitamin C potentiators. Pycnogenol has long been recommended for its health promoting properties and its varied benefits.Pycnogenol is a registered trademark name for products which contain bark from the French maritime pine tree. Solgar Pycnogenol delivers 30mg per daily dose of one vegetable capsule a day and is suitable for those on a vegan diet.

Free radicals are produced by the body when you breathe, digest food, exercise or even sleep. They are naturally occuring as they are created by emotional stress, ultraviolet light, radiation and air pollution. Free radicals damage the body by causing deterioration of the cells, lowering the defences against diseases and putting the body into a ‘stress’ state. To counter the effect of free radicals, a balance of antioxidants is required. The most important Antioxidants include: Beta-carotene, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Selenium and components found in certain plants including Turmeric, and Ginkgo Biloba.

Antioxidants can be obtained by eating a healthy and balanced diet, but taking a supplement might be desirable to achieve an optimal intake of antioxidants.

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are plant based flavonol compounds that are found in grape seeds (or pine bark). The oligomeric proanthocyanidins, as a group of distinct compounds are named after the flavonoid compounds they are derived from. This class of compounds is found at the highest concentrations in the skin and the seeds of different plant species. The simplicity of their chemical structure differentiates these versatile compounds from the more complex flavonoids they are partly derived from, the simple chemical structure of these compounds enables their rapid absorption into the blood. They are considered to be beneficial compounds for human health.

Much of the research into OPC’s utilised extracts of grape seeds. Grape seed extracts can be found commercially with OPC concentrations up to about 80%. They are rich in several Proanthocyanidin B compounds, which are not found in pine bark extracts and Polyphenols are found in red wine (grape skin), peanuts and some plants.

Solgar Grape Seed Extract 100 mg comes in an easy dose of 1-2 vegetable capsules a day for an optimal dosage of antioxidants.
