Enzogenol Pine Bark Extract is a powerful antioxidant which promotes longevity and overall wellness, especially for those over 40.

  • Promotes cardiovascular health
  • Supports cognitive function and brain plasticity
  • Improves skin health and appearance
  • Protects joints from wear and tear
  • Enhances immunity and athletic recovery

Research-Supported Benefits:

Promotes Cardiovascular Health. Pine bark extract contains antioxidants, such as proanthocyanidins, that may contribute to maintaining heart health in older adults by improving blood flow and increasing plasma antioxidant capacity. In addition, its polyphenol content has been shown to modulate LDL cholesterol levels in human studies. (1, 2)

Supports Cognitive Function and Brain Plasticity.Pine bark extract has been shown to promote autophagy, an internal process that removes dysfunctional cells, which may be beneficial for brain function and plasticity by maintaining neuron health and facilitating the formation of new neural connections. (3)

Improves Skin Health and Appearance. Pine bark extract is rich in proanthocyanins, compounds that may support collagen production and improve skin health by protecting against UV damage, promoting skin elasticity, and reducing the appearance of age-related skin issues. (4)

Protects Joints from Wear and Tear. The antioxidants in pine bark extract may help reduce joint discomfort and protect joints from age-related damage by neutralizing free radicals that cause oxidative stress and contribute to the breakdown of cartilage. (5, 6)

Improves DNA Integrity. Pine bark extract supports DNA damage reduction as shown in a 12-week study of human subjects via enhanced capacity to control free radical damage in cells. (4, 7)

May Improve Athletic Performance and Recovery. Some research suggests that pine bark extract could enhance cellular antioxidant levels, possibly promoting better athletic performance and recovery by reducing muscle fatigue and supporting muscle repair processes. (8)

  • Enzogenol® Pine Bark Extract contains proanthocyanins, compounds that provide various health benefits, such as supporting cardiovascular health, brain function and skin health by promoting healthy blood flow, neuronal activity and collagen production, respectively. (5, 6, 8)
  • Pycnogenol, a different pine bark extract, contains a few of these beneficial compounds, where Enzogenol® boasts a more diverse range of these polyphenols due to its unique place in the ecosystem and non-chemical, mechanical fractionation process. This results in higher in-vitro antioxidant activity compared to Pycnogenol.
  • These compounds also play a role in maintaining cellular energy production and function, potentially supporting immunity and overall wellness by enhancing mitochondrial activity and reducing oxidative stress. (8)
  • Pine bark extract has been shown to exhibit positive effects on inflammatory pathways and support a healthy immune system. Research suggests that the proanthocyanins in pine bark extract can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the activation of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), a protein complex that plays a central role in regulating the immune response to infection and inflammation. (7, 8)
  • Enzogenol® Pine Bark Extract may enhance athletic performance and recovery by reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress. The potent antioxidant properties of the proanthocyanins found in pine bark extract can help neutralize free radicals generated during intense physical activity, protecting cells from damage and promoting faster recovery. Additionally, pine bark extract has been shown to improve blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, which can support endurance and overall performance. Research suggests that supplementation with pine bark extract may lead to reduced muscle soreness and faster recovery times, enabling athletes to maintain a consistent training regimen with less downtime.

Easy to swallow

Pills are small and easy to take, too early to tell about health benefits as of yet.

Pine bark

Too early to tell if making any gains with this supplement. Hoping it will work as a polyphenols to feed the Microbiome, as well as supporting the cardiovascular health. Prohealth is very reputable, and makes good supplements.

Frequently asked questions

No, Pycnogenol and Enzogenol® are not the same, although both are extracts derived from pine bark. The primary differences lie in the pine tree species they are sourced from and the extraction process used. Pycnogenol is derived from the French maritime pine tree (Pinus Pinaster), whereas Enzogenol® comes from the New Zealand pine tree (Pinus Radiata). The extraction process for Enzogenol® utilizes water only and is a mechanical fractionation process, resulting in a more diverse range of compounds, which lends to a higher in-vitro antioxidant activity. On the other hand, Pycnogenol undergoes a chemical fractionation process.
Since Enzogenol® Pine Bark Extract does not interfere with circadian rhythm or have stimulant properties, it can be taken any time of day.
Enzogenol® Pine Bark Extract can be taken with or without food.
Keep Enzogenol® Pine Bark Extract at room temperature and out of direct sunlight.
Enzogenol® Pine Bark Extract has no known side effects.
