Energy ENHANCER
Pycnogenol has a remarkable ability to improve blood flow characteristics, helping the body achieve peak muscle performance and integrity. It also has the capacity to support vascular requirements during exercise and accelerates production of endothelial nitric oxide. If the body experiences insufficient production of NO, the blood flow is impaired.
WHY IS NITRIC OXIDE IMPORTANT
Nitric Oxide (NO) improves the flow of blood and the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. This allows more efficient nutrient & oxygen delivery to activate muscles and other tissues. Dilated blood vessels also include our venous system which will allow the faster elimination of toxic waste product from the body.
NO also boosts the function of mitochondria in cells (our energy generating units). Cells are primarily fueled by simple sugars such as glucose and these are converted into the energy unit, ATP.
Nitric Oxide boosts the speed at which glucose is converted to ATP and it facilitates the entry of glucose into the cell. The faster glucose can be taken up by cells, the faster it can be converted into ATP Energy.
RECOVERY, PAIN AND CRAMP REDUCTION
Pycnogenol is clinical proven to significantly reduce oxidative stress in the blood. The experience from several clinical trials suggests that Pycnogenol® is effective in protecting muscles from harm during sports, enhancing performance and endurance, speeding up the recovery, and allowing for faster retraining.
Plant extracts such as Pycnogenol® which provide a practical way to meet goals of sports nutrition, are among the most valuable products available to athletes and anyone wanting to become more active.

How
Pycnogenol
gets to work
Nitric Oxide improves the flow of blood and the delivery of
oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. This is of particular
importance for energy production and hastening post exercise recovery.
