How Pycnogenol® helps relax blood vessels and improves blood flow?
Pycnogenol® stimulates the enzyme “endothelial nitric oxide synthase” (eNOS) for enhanced generation of NO from the precursor molecule L-arginine.
Pycnogenol increases endurance aids in muscle recovery and alleviates cramping
An increase in physical activity can lend itself to sore muscles and fatigue which
can take several days to subside.
Pycnogenol® was shown to significantly reduce muscular pain and cramps in athletes and healthy, normal individuals. Poor circulation in the muscle is known to cause cramps and the antioxidant improved the cramping in patients due to a stimulation of blood flow to their muscle tissue.
The findings indicate that Pycnogenol® can play an important role in sports by improving blood flow to the muscles and hastening post-exercise recovery. This is great news to
the millions of athletes worldwide and extremely significant for all individuals
interested in muscle cramp and pain relief with a natural approach.
Pycnogenol lowers muscular pain in sports and enhances blood microcirculation,
blood flow and oxygenation of muscle
Two clinical studies have shown that Pycnogenol® causes vasodilatation and consequently improves blood micro-circulation. An increased presence of oxygen and decreased carbon dioxide after consumption of Pycnogenol® was shown. Pycnogenol® contributes to better blood flow and oxygenation of muscle.
