Pine Bark Complex

Product Description

Vega pine bark complex contains a combination of naturally occurring phytoantioxidants that are potent free radical scavengers. It is highly recommended to have a regular intake of fruits & vegetables, mainly because the simple phenolic compounds contained in these foods are thought to play an important role in long term health. Anthocyanins, polyphenols & proanthocyanadins are a large family of natural bio-active compounds widely distributed in plant derived foods. These compounds are highly bio-available & have extremely powerful antioxidant activity, many times greater than that of vitamins C & E. The antioxidant properties of these compounds have been extensively studied, but it has become clear that the mechanism of action goes beyond combating oxidative stress. Studies indicate that these compounds may help to support the immune system & maintain the strength & integrity of collagen & other connective tissues, including that of the blood vessels, with overall benefits for the eyes & the cardiovascular system.
