A Pycnogenol supplement contains an extract from the bark of the French maritime pine. Pycnogenol is a branded pine bark extract, not pine nuts or pine-needle powder, and its concentration can differ from other pine bark products.
A Pycnogenol supplement supplies antioxidant compounds and has been studied for circulation, skin health, and exercise-related effects. Some studies suggest potential benefits, but the evidence does not establish it as a treatment or guarantee benefits for everyone.
It may modestly affect blood pressure, but a Pycnogenol supplement is not a substitute for prescribed hypertension treatment. If you take blood-pressure medicine or already have low blood pressure, ask a healthcare professional before using it.
Possible side effects include stomach upset, headache, dizziness, and skin reactions. Stop taking a Pycnogenol supplement and seek urgent help for signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as trouble breathing or swelling of the face or throat.
Yes. A Pycnogenol supplement may interact with blood thinners and medicines that affect blood pressure or blood sugar. Ask your doctor or pharmacist before taking it with regular medication, and do not replace a prescribed treatment with the supplement.
Take a Pycnogenol supplement according to its own label, because products can differ in strength and serving instructions. Taking it with food may help if it upsets your stomach; do not assume that the same amount applies to every product.
A Pycnogenol supplement has been studied for possible effects on skin hydration and elasticity, but it is not proven to treat skin conditions or reverse aging. It does not replace sun protection or appropriate skin care.
A Pycnogenol supplement has been studied in combination with other ingredients for erectile function, but evidence for Pycnogenol alone is limited. It is not an established treatment, and persistent erectile problems warrant medical evaluation.
Safety data for a Pycnogenol supplement during pregnancy and breastfeeding are insufficient. Avoid using it during these periods unless your healthcare professional specifically advises otherwise.
There is no universally established duration for taking a Pycnogenol supplement. Study periods vary by product and purpose, so follow the label and avoid extending use beyond its directions without professional guidance.

GLYCEMIC INDEX
GLYCEMIC LOAD
Accounts for portion size — a more realistic measure than GI alone.
A Pycnogenol supplement contains an extract from the bark of the French maritime pine. It is sold as a supplement, commonly in capsule or tablet form, rather than as a food or snack.
Capsules and tablets have little noticeable taste and are usually swallowed with water. People may take them alongside a meal or at another time, depending on the directions on the product label; there is no particular traditional serving occasion. It is not a meaningful source of protein or a substitute for food. The nutrition figures are given per 100 g, while a typical small piece is about 0.05 g, so the table is not a guide to a usual serving. Check the label before use.
