NOW Pycnogenol & Policosanol Category
| Pycnogenol ®
is a concentrated natural extract derived from
the bark of French Maritime Pine trees that grow
in the Landes Forest of southwestern France. It
is the only species of tree that grows in this
4,000 square mile forest. These pine trees
contain concentrated levels of unique flavonoid
compounds that help protect your body from the
ravages of free radicals and the aging process.
Policosanol is a blend of fatty alcohols derived
from natural plant waxes. NOW® Policosanol
contains several long chain fatty alcohols (LCFA’s),
including Triacontanol, Octacosanol and
Hexacosanol. In vitro and animal studies have
shown that these fatty alcohol constituents
possess considerable antioxidant activity,
inhibit lipid peroxidation and support healthy
immune function. Furthermore, Policosanol can
support cardiovascular health through these and
other mechanisms. |
