[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.

A gum tree common in Kenya’s Arid and Semi Arid Lands might be the magical key to alleviating poverty and perennial cattle rustling. The gum tree known by its scientific name, Senegal Arabica, produces sap which to locals in Samburu and Isiolo counties is used to feed goats, yet gum Arabic is a major agent in industrial use. Gum Arabic’s mixture of polysaccharides and glyco-proteins gives it the properties of a glue and binder which is also edible by humans. For industrial use, it is used as a binder in watercolor paint, in photography for gum printing, and in the pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industry gum Arabica is used as a binder, an emulsifying agent and a suspending or viscosity increasing agent.

Stevia is an herb that is used as non-caloric sugar substitute. Stevia herbs have different species all serving as sweetening agents. Among these species, S. Rebaudiana is the sweetest plant. The sweetness possessed by these herbs is about 200 to 250 times that the intensity of sucrose. Rebaudioside A (Reb-A) and Stevioside are the prime two components present in these herbs that make it natural sweetener and diet supplement. Consumption of leaves of this herb does not affect the blood sugar level. Therefore, it is also used for treatment purpose for diabetic patients. These leaves have anti-fungal as well as anti-bacterial properties thereby; can be used in herbal medicines, mouthwashes, toothpastes and various other daily products.
