Procyanidol

Why You Need It

• Radical Cellular Defense: It neutralizes free radicals, protecting your cells from oxidative damage.
• Skin Health & Elasticity: It helps stimulate collagen production for a more youthful appearance.
• Circulation Support: It promotes healthy blood flow and vascular strength.
• Inflammation Response: It naturally helps the body manage inflammation.

Deep Dive

Procyanidol is essentially a master recycler. When your body uses up Vitamin C or Vitamin E to fight off damage, they become 'spent.' Procyanidol steps in and regenerates them, allowing them to work again. This creates a synergistic effect that boosts your overall antioxidant capacity.

For your skin, it acts as an internal shield against UV damage and helps retain moisture. For your veins and arteries, it reinforces the walls of capillaries, making them more flexible and less prone to leakage, which is why it's often studied for varicose veins and eye health.

Natural Food Sources

While the most concentrated form of Procyanidol comes from French Maritime Pine Bark, you can find similar antioxidant compounds (proanthocyanidins) in other natural foods.

Supplementation

Dosage: Clinical studies typically use 100mg to 150mg per day, split into two doses (morning and evening).

When to take it: It is best absorbed when taken with a meal containing some fat. It is often recommended for:

• Individuals looking for skin support.
• People with circulation issues (consult a doctor).
• Those seeking high-level antioxidant protection.
