Pycnogenol has been used to help improve conditions including asthma, diabetes, edema, gingival bleeding, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, migraines and prevention of blood clots during long distance airplane flights.
Resveratrol – a self-protective compound, produced by certain plans to defend against harmful pathogens bacteria or fungi. A constituent of red wine, found in red grapes’ skin and mulberries, resveratrol has been reported to induce anti-inflammatory, anti-cancerous, blood sugar lowering and life extending effects in animal studies. It has been speculated that resveratrol’s main mechanism of action is the activation of genes that improve mitochondrial function and extend life span. Recent studies on animals indicate that resveratrol has brain protective properties, apparently by reducing plaque formation in the hypothalamus, striatum andmedial cortex sections of the brain. It has been theorized that in humans, oral doses of resveratrol can potentially offer protectionagainst radiation exposure.
