New Study: Pine Bark Extract Boosts Nitric Oxide (NO) Production
A study to be published in the
October edition of Hypertension Research reveals Pycnogenol(R),
(pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French
maritime pine tree, helps individuals by enhancing healthy nitric oxide
(NO) production which leads to an increase in blood flow and oxygen supply
to muscles.
Nitric oxide, a key cardiovascular chemical produced by the body,
increases blood flow that serves to deliver more nutrients and oxygen to
the muscles, helping muscles to cope with increased physical activity and
build when subjected to regular elevated labor.
"This study suggests that when taking Pycnogenol(R), more NO is
provided in response to neurotransmitters allowing for better expansion of
arteries to carry more blood. This process serves to meet the enhanced
oxygen demand of the performing muscle and avoid anaerobic metabolism,"
said Dr. Yukihito Higashi, lead researcher of the study. "These results
also lead me to determine that Pycnogenol(R) will be a useful natural
alternative therapy in various diseases in which oxidative stress is
involved in the pathogenesis."
The double-blind, randomized, placebo study was held at the Hiroshima
University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Japan. Every day for
two weeks young healthy men either took 180 mg Pycnogenol(R) or a placebo.
To identify Pycnogenol's(R) effect on the release of NO, an inhibitor of
the amino acid L-arginine was infused in patients, which restricts the
expansion of arteries in response to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
After two weeks of supplementation with Pycnogenol(R), results revealed
blood flow increased in response to acetylcholine stimulation by 42
percent. In contrast, the control group receiving the placebo did not show
a pronounced blood flow increase in response to neurotransmitter
stimulation.
"Acetylcholine stimulates the cells of arteries to produce NO from
L-arginine faster," Dr. Higashi said. "In turn, the NO causes the muscle
surrounding arteries to relax, which results in an increase of blood vessel
diameters. When subjects had taken Pycnogenol(R) the relaxation of arteries
was increased by 42 percent as compared to the group taking placebo
tablets."
According to Frank Schonlau, Ph.D, director of scientific
communications for Horphag Research, worldwide distributors of
Pycnogenol(R), "While more research is warranted, this is an encouraging
breakthrough especially to athletes as Pycnogenol(R) seems to allow people
to move faster when exercising by satisfying the enhanced muscle oxygen
demand and increasing the blood flow to active muscles. When people are
performing heavy physical activity, nerves release neurotransmitter
acetylcholine to arteries supplying muscles, which makes them expand, a
process that requires enhanced production of NO."
A multitude of studies about Pycnogenol(R) and sports nutrition have
been conducted. Most recently, a year ago, Pycnogenol(R) was demonstrated
to improve blood circulation and support a lasting aerobic muscle activity
during any kind of activity and enhance sports endurance by alleviating
cramping and muscular pain in athletes. In short, Pycnogenol(R) is
effective for enhancing and prolonging muscle performance during sport,
supports muscle adaptation to higher work-load and allows for faster
physical recovery.
About Pycnogenol(R)
Pycnogenol(R) is a natural plant extract originating from the bark of
the maritime pine that grows along the coast of southwest France and is
found to contain a unique combination of procyanidins, bioflavonoids and
organic acids, which offer extensive natural health benefits. The extract
has been widely studied for the past 35 years and has more than 220
published studies and review articles ensuring safety and efficacy as an
ingredient. Today, Pycnogenol(R) is available in more than 600 dietary
supplements, multi-vitamins and health products worldwide. For more
