Pine Bark Extract 10:1, Procyanidin (Proanthocyanidins) ≥20% by Xi'an Herbs Valley is a concentrated plant substance sourced from pine bark (Pinus massoniana). Produced through extraction, this brownish-red to brown powder contains at least 20% procyanidins (proanthocyanidins), natural polyphenolic compounds typically found in pine bark extract.
Pine bark extract is often used as a plant-derived source of polyphenols and antioxidants in dietary supplement formulations. Researchers have studied the proanthocyanidins in fields such as cardiovascular and skin health, although results vary by application. The ingredient can thus be integrated into formulations aimed at antioxidant and overall wellness support without suggesting a specific health benefit.
Pine Bark Extract can be added to capsules, tablets, powdered mixtures, functional foods, and various herbal formulations. Its consistent proanthocyanidin levels make it suitable for supplements focused on polyphenols and plant-derived ingredients. The manufacturer's technical documentation and Certificate of Analysis (COA) should be used to verify the ratio, proanthocyanidin content, purity, and other quality parameters.
