We are excited to announce a new study that reveals Pycnogenol® naturally reduces osteoarthritis. The study revealed Pycnogenol’s® capability to dramatically lower joint pain, stiffness, improve physical function and increase patients mobility almost three-fold.
The study, conducted at Italy’s Chieti-Pescara University is published in the April edition of Phytotherapy Research. The research sampled 156 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee and evaluated their symptoms on WOMAC index scores and by recording patient’s walking performance on a treadmill.
The benefits of Pycnogenol® for arthritic joints are suggested to result predominately from the anti-inflammatory and vascular potency of Pycnogenol®. There are additional break through studies on Pycnogenol® and osteoarthritis expected to be published this year allowing for development of innovative, natural formulas for joint health.
