Does any vendor still sell Pycnogenol made from grapeseed instead of pine bark? I understand pine bark Pycnogenol will not cross blood brain barrier

Pycnogenol is a patent name for Pine Bark Extract. Both grapeseed and pycnogenol have proanthocyanidins as the active ingredient. Grapessed extract tends to be a less expensive way of obtaining this active ingredient. We are not aware of the fact that pycnogneol does not cross blood brain barrier.

Hello,Thank you for contacting Swanson Health Products!Pycnogenol® is actually a trademark name for French Maritime pine bark extract so any product with this trademark will be derived from the same source. We hope this information helps clarify! Have a wonderful day.Rubi G.

I have no idea and suggest you contact Trusted Nutrients or another vendor for an accurate answer.

This product is not really extracted. Let me explain. In herbology, adding dried herbs to alcohol will create a tincture because the cellulose of the plant disintegrates in the alcohol, setting the bio-active components free. Not with mushrooms, though, mushrooms have a chitin cellular structure, not cellulose, like plants have. Chitin doesn't degrade in alcohol. The amount of bioactive components that become bioavailable in a mushroom tincture is minimal. The best extracts are powdered and have been dual extracted (hot water and alcohol). These can also guarantee a specific percentage of the bioactives - unlike tinctures. This product is not really extracted. Let me explain.

I called Sunkist and they told me Proanthocyanidins is a natural anti-oxident and they don't have that number for mg in the capsules. Sorry! I tried.

Another safe alternative to chemicals thats definitely safe for kids and pets is pine o pine. If you have a yard sprayer that hooks directly to the garden hose, mix 50/50 pine o pine and distilled vinegar and spray your yard, it will make all flying and crawling insects leave or die including fleas... Remember pine o pine not pinesol. I've located it at my local kroger grocery store it's like $1.62 nice and cheap. Ooh yeah and your yard will smell great, won't hurt grass either.

Actually it is not the same. This product is "Pine Bark Extract", the product your comparing it to is "100mg, 60 tabs-Pycnogenol". Most people, when taking Pine Bark are trying to utilize the benefits of Pycnogenol sourced from the tree species "French Maritime Pine". When you buy pine bark your typically getting a multitude of items within the product, despite wanting a majority of Pycnogenol. If your looking for the benefits of Pycnogenol, buy the product directly, or investigate the milligram dosage within the Pine Bark to decide what the best bang for the buck is.

This product does not have: Beta-Sitosterol and Lycopene, nor have I ever seen associated with other brands of Saw Palmetto & Pygeum that I have used. I take Lycopene as a separate supplement.

The herbs listed by Robyn are correct. I am the original lister of this product, Raven Moonlight. I know there are other stores that piggy backed on our product, but Raven Moonlight is only responsible if you order from us not from other sellers. I have no idea what other sellers include in their products. All of our herbs in the sampler are also either organic or wild harvested. I am not sure what other sellers are selling. Also all of our Herbs ARE food and Medical grade so you CAN cook with them if applicable. Once again - I am not sure what other sellers are offering. Thank you!

I was concerned about the type of cherries as well so I contacted Dynamic Health directly (800-396-2114) since it is not stated anywhere on the bottle. I was told that this product is made from Montmorency tart cherries, the specific type studied in ongoing research and necessary for maintaining good overall health. It is full of "anthocyanins", naturally occurring compounds that have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties (which is why it helps with joint inflammation and sleeplessness). Tart cherries are naturally rich in melatonin which is important in regulating our Circadian rhythm (biological clock). I was skeptical, but both my husband & I have noticed improved nighttime sleep since taking it, though another relative with severe chronic insomnia has not. There are no guarantees, but it's a relatively inexpensive and natural/safe option to try. Hope this helps.

really don't know but st john' wort is bormally only used for very mild depression, I was looking for something to improve brain function like prevagen but this did bot seem to make a difference at all

Despise is a strong feeling. Ponaris scent is not as strong as Pinesol, it does have some odor and, if by chance it runs in the throat it feels like a little burning for a few minutes. When applied properly in the nose is a helpful emolient in dry climate. I hope it helps to make your decision. Thanks

I use Marin for our dog Clarence. He is a seizure dog on phenobarb and gabapentin. We give it to him to keep his liver value down. I found Marin to be alot cheaper as Clarence weighs 96lbs. Hope this helps.

Too bad that the seller didn't list nutritional facts. The bottle has them as follows: 1) fungal defense herbal balance blend (475mg): syrian oregano, lemongrass powder, sweet basil, olive leaf extract, cinnamon bark powder; 2) fungal defense enzyme balance blend (233mg): protease (20,0000 HUT), callulase (20,000 CU); 3) fungal defense living herbal poten-zyme blend (125 mg); garlic juice, yucca juice. I liked its ingredients but it didn't have much good effect on me. So I stopped taking it.

I do not know the answer to your question. There is no indication on the bottle label regarding this issue. I would suggest contacting the company directly:http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item01209/Water-Soluble-Pumpkin-Seed-Extract.html
