What is Pine Bark Extract Powder?

Pine Bark Extract Powder is a powdered substance extracted from the pine tree's bark. The main component of Pine Bark Extract is a highly water-soluble proanthocyanidin oligomer, along with more than 40 other water-soluble components, most of which are organic acids, including caffeic acid, protocatechuic acid, vanillic acid, ferulic acid, gallic acid, etc. The most prominent and significant function is its ability to slow down (skin) aging and make people look younger. Its most prominent and significant function is its ability to delay (skin) aging so that people look more youthful. OPCs have been found in many plants since they were isolated from peanut shells by French scientist Dr Jack McSkelly in 1947. In many studies on them, it has been proved that proanthocyanidins(OPCs) are effective antioxidants and are non-toxic, non-mutagenic, non-carcinogenic, and have no side effects. They are very safe to use.

Pine Bark Extract Powder offered by Green Spring Technology is an active ingredient extracted from the dried stem bark of the pine tree (Pinus massoniana Lamb). Its main ingredient is proanthocyanidins(OPCs), whose content is up to 95%.

Benefits:

Antioxidant

The flavonoids in Pine Bark Extract have strong free radical scavenging ability and can help fight oxidative stress, preventing and slowing down the aging process. It also protects cells from free radical damage and maintains cellular health.

Anti-inflammatory

The tannins and flavonoids in pine bark extract powder have significant anti-inflammatory activity, inhibiting inflammatory reactions in the body and relieving various inflammatory symptoms. In addition, pine bark extract reduces pain and swelling caused by inflammation and has analgesic and decongestive properties. In a special study published in Pharmaceutical Sciences Research, researchers investigated the antimicrobial activity of pine bark extract essential oil against staphylococcal infections, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infections. Evaluation of the antimicrobial activity showed that the pine bark extract components, especially proanthocyanidins, were effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, significantly inhibiting its growth. In addition, the results indicate that the extract has significant "anti-Pseudomonas activity", making it a potential natural remedy and possible infection prophylaxis.

Antibacterial

The ellagitannins and tannins in Pine Bark Extract can bind to the proteins on the surface of bacteria and disrupt their cell membranes, thus inhibiting bacterial growth. It is able to inhibit the growth of a wide range of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and is effective in the prevention and treatment of skin infections and oral diseases.

Protection of Blood Vessels

The flavonoid components in pine bark extract can enhance the elasticity of the blood vessel wall, reduce the brittleness and permeability of blood vessels, and promote blood circulation. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, reducing the risk of thrombosis and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Anti-allergy

Because free radicals play an important role in the formation of tumours, Pine Bark Extract Proanthocyanidins OPCs can be used in moderation to exert their anti-cancer effects. Proanthocyanidins OPCs are also effective against many types of arthritis because they inhibit inflammatory factors such as PG, 5-HT and leukotrienes, and selectively bind to connective elements in the joints to relieve pain and oedema. The anti-allergic activity of proanthocyanidin OPCs, a constituent of pine bark extract, is thought to be a result of its antihistamine activity.

Skin Care

Due to their antioxidant capacity, proanthocyanidin OPCs are believed to protect the skin from excess UV radiation and free radical damage. There is ample evidence that proanthocyanidin OPCs protect and strengthen collagen and elastin in the skin, therefore preventing wrinkles from developing and maintaining skin elasticity. Adding Pine Bark Extract Proanthocyanidin Powder OPCs to creams is a popular way to slow down skin aging. The theory is that by repairing the skin's collagen and elastin, the skin can be rejuvenated.
