"Horphag has 12 ongoing research works on Pycnogenol(R) in the pipeline and in December 2008, another study was published, demonstrating significant lowering of the inflammatory marker, C-reactive protein (CRP) in osteoarthritis patients post intake of Pycnogenol(R)," notes Pasricha. "These key research initiatives demonstrate the company's accomplishments that have surpassed all similar efforts undertaken by other research institutes on Pycnogenol(R)."
Pycnogenol(R)'s versatility is obvious in its capacity to not only improve blood flow, blood lipid profile, and strengthening blood capillary walls but also to lower cholesterol, normalize blood pressure, and prevent thrombosis. It reduces blood glucose level and carbohydrate absorption, thereby preventing diabetic syndrome, diabetic ulcers, and muscle cramps.
Its antioxidant properties and anti photo-aging potencies make it ideal for oral and topical skin care formulas, while its capability to bind collagen and elastin improves skin elasticity and reduces pigmentation. Its immune modulation profile makes it suitable for combating asthma and hay fever, thereby promoting respiratory health.
Evidently, Pycnogenol(R) provides a reliable and clinically tested nutritional option of addressing a comprehensive range of health issues across the food and beverage ingredients and pharmaceutical industries. Moreover, it is one of the few ingredients that conform to bioavailability, metabolization, excretion, and complete pharmacokinetics in humans.
"Pycnogenol(R) has set a new benchmark for all nutritional ingredients and dietary supplements in terms of its versatile health benefits, safety data, and research portfolio and has the highest probability of becoming an undisputed industry standard in the near future," observes Pasricha. "In addition, Pycnogenol(R) has received Kosher certification for quality and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) approval f
