Pycnogenol is a unique bioflavonoid extract derived from the bark of the French maritime pine. Pycnogenol has been classified as the super antioxidant because it contains multiple antioxidants which act together to neutralise excess cell-damaging molecules in the body known as, free-radicals.Bio-Pycnogenol contains a patented extract made from the Pinus Pinaster tree. The active flavonoids support the skins production of collagen and help it maintain and build up elasticity and flexible strength. These flavonoids also support the function of vitamin C, which the body needs to produce collagen. This does not mean that you can stay young forever but at least you have a unique chance of preserving your skin and preventing premature ageing. The elasticity of your skin depends on its content of natural proteins like collagen and elastin. Collagen is the glue that holds together the cells-not just n your skin but in all connective tissue such as hair, nails, bones and teeth.SUGAR, YEAST AND GLUTEN FREE.
