Pine Bark Extrakt - Better Skin & Anti-Aging

Pinus pinaster is a pine species native to the Mediterranean regions of Portugal, Spain, France and Morocco. The bark of the French maritime pine bark is used to extract the extremely beneficial substance, Pine Bark Extract. It is known by numerous other names, such as Pycnogenol, Oligopin or Flavangenol. Along with grape seed and blueberry extract, Pine Bark Extract is one of the only known sources of proanthocyanidins, which have been demonstrated in a number of studies to have a strong antioxidant effect and to be an excellent source of vitamin C. This is precisely why the extract can be so beneficial for men's skin, nervous system, cardiovascular system and metabolism.

Pine Bark Extract (Oligopin) at a glace

Pine Bark Extract (Oligopin) is known to contain health-promoting phytochemicals, such as vitamins, polyphenols and other phytonutrients. It is rich in ingredients widely recognized as antioxidants, including proanthocyanidin, the most powerful antioxidant discovered to date. In the organism, antioxidants protect against oxidative stress, which is the main cause of inflammation and, consequently, is responsible for most physical disorders and diseases. Especially for this reason, taking pine bark extract can be very beneficial for health and well-being.

The effect and benefits of Pine Bark Extract

Pine Bark Extract has not only numerous health benefits, but also a very special effect on your skin. The benefits on your skin and well-being are mainly due to the polyphenol nutrients in Oligopin. One of them is procyanidins, a flavonoid that acts as an antioxidant. The contained catechins are another antioxidant-like flavonoid family that protects cells from oxidation and harmful free radicals. Furthermore, it contains phenolic acids. These are a group of polyphenols that have high antioxidant activity. This unique combination of antioxidants is what makes Pine Bark extract so special. Therefore, the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory benefits of the extract are expected to have the potential to improve conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and neurodegenerative disorders, and to work against skin problems such as acne.

5 benefits of Oligopin at a glace:

1. Better men's skin 🧖‍♂️

Pine bark is a true weapon for men's skin. Research suggests that pine bark extract may improve skin hydration and elasticity, which are among the main indicators of skin aging. It has anti-inflammatory properties, so it not only heals wounds faster, but also reduces other skin problems that can cause dark spots, redness or uneven skin.

2. Anti-Aging effect 🙋‍♂️

It has been scientifically proven at the molecular level that Oligopin improves skin elasticity. The mode of action is that the extract helps to bind amino acids, which are important for the production of collagen and elastin. Thus, Pine Bark extract stimulates important skin functions and gives the ingredient a restorative effect that helps improve the skin's overall natural barrier to keep skin healthy and looking fresh.

3. Fights UV-damage 🛡️

Studies have shown that pine bark extract can fight the damaging effects of UV radiation on our skin in a number of ways. It helps reduce the effects of UV radiation while you're exposed to the sun. But it also repairs damage that has already been done. Over the past decade, there has been an extreme increase in interest in researching the visible benefits of pine bark extract for the skin. Clinical studies suggest that pine bark can help reduce skin pigmentation and promote an even complexion.

4. Moisturises the skin 💆‍♂️

Hyaluronic acid is essential for promoting moisture in our skin. A study showed that taking pine bark extract for 12 weeks can increase hyaluronic acid production by 44%. The study showed that using pine bark extract to support moisture retention was most effective for dry skin. Moisture, however, is an important part of skin care for all skin types, as hydrated skin is better able to absorb active ingredients.

5. Better matabolism 🙂

Metabolic syndrome is an underlying condition that contributes to obesity, diabetes and other harmful conditions. Research suggests that pine bark extract may help treat metabolic syndrome by lowering blood sugar and blood pressure and improving kidney function.

The correct dosage of Pine Bark Extract (Oligopin) - NRV

Neither Pine Bark Extract nor the contained substances procyanidins, catechins and phenolic acids are currently listed as essential nutrients. Therefore, there is no nutrient reference value (NRV) for these substances. The safety and ideal daily dose of oligopine have not been established by any major regulatory agency, but dosages between 100 to 400 milligrams have been well tolerated in clinical studies.
