[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction (ED), or impotence, is the inability to get or keep an erection (hard penis) for enough time to have satisfactory sex. To get and maintain an erection, blood must be able to flow into and stay in the penis. Men commonly have problems with their erections once in a while. But if ED occurs frequently, medical therapy may be helpful. About 30 million men in the United States have ED. It can happen at any age, but is more common in men older than 65. ED is treatable at any age. ED can be a symptom of early blood vessel disease in other locations in the body.

The evaluation of ED starts with a careful medical history, including history of sexual function, medications, illnesses, or injuries that could cause ED; and any recent physical or emotional changes. The evaluation typically includes a physical exam, urinalysis, and a measurement of early morning testosterone levels. The doctor may also order blood tests for luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the hormone prolactin, fasting blood glucose (sugar), and lipids (blood fats such as cholesterol). To obtain more information about patient man’s general and endocrine (hormonal) function, the doctor may also test for liver, kidney, and thyroid disorders.
Causes of erectile dysfunction

Any physical condition that interferes with sexual desire (libido), blood flow, or nerve signals to the penis can cause ED. The most common causes are conditions that affect blood vessels and blood flow in the penis, such as hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) that is linked to diabetes, obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. Medications (antidepressants, sleeping pills or tranquilizers, and drugs to treat high blood pressure, pain, or prostate cancer), alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs commonly cause ED.

Other common causes for ED include:

Brain diseases (such as stroke)
Damage to the nerves that deliver signals from the brain and spinal cord to the penis due to diabetes, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injuries, pelvic or prostate surgery, radiation therapy, or pelvic or bicycle seat pressure trauma
Hormone imbalances such as low testosterone, high prolactin, and abnormal thyroid hormone levels
Chronic kidney and liver disease, which affect blood vessels, nerves, and hormone levels
Rarely, scarring of the penis that causes a severe curving (Peyronie’s disease) during erections
