User Reviews for maritime pine

I took one dose of Pycnogenol and experienced itching in my scalp and along my arms and hands. I assumed this was some form of allergic reaction and immediately discontinued treatment—after spending $60 on the stuff.

I have been using Isotonix OPC-3 for over 1 year. I started taking it to help my attention and stay focused. It has not only helped in this area but other benefits I have seen is a reduced allergy headaches, muscles are no longer sore, minor aches and pains no longer need Aleve or Advil and my skin has never looked better. This is the most important supplement I have ever taken, and I have tried them all.

I started taking Pycnogenol for hot flashes after hearing Dr. Rosenfeld recommend it on Fox News. I started with 100 mg every night and after about 3 weeks I noticed a significant decrease in discomfort, especially at night. After a few more weeks, they were gone completely. After that I decreased to 50 mg nightly (to save money) and continued to have relief. I have also recommended it to friends.

I started taking OPC-3, whose main component is pychnoginal. Within 2 months I no longer needed my Singular. I have been symptom free for 7 months. I am also a CRT. I have been treating my asthma for over 20 years. I am so glad I am symptom free.

I had severe life threatening asthma and pycnogenol has virtually eliminated it (it takes about 2 weeks to build up in my system and become effective however). I still cary an inhaler as a safety measure, but in the last year I have only needed it rarely wherqas previously I needed to use it daily). The 1 mg per pound of body weight suggested dose was the most effective for me. I take it twice a day (half AM ad half PM). **I also used to have a chronic stuffed up nose (for most of my life) that is gone now too). Read More Read Less

I've been using this product for well over a year for various reasons (slightly high blood pressure, slightly elevated cholesterol, fibromyalgia, and just for its general antioxidant properties). I should note that I also began taking several other supplements at that time as well after researching how I might naturally improve the aforementioned issues. In the past year or so my blood pressure and my cholesterol improved and were within normal ranges. My fibrymyalgia also seemed to calm down some. In the past couple of weeks my blood pressure is elevated again and my fibromyalgia pain levels have increased. I have been baffled and concerned as to why all of a sudden this happened. It took me a few days to get it, but I realized that I ran out of my pycnogenol supplements and did not reorder because of all the holiday activities. I just figured I'd order it after the holidays. But once it dawned on me that the reason for the flair up of my issues may well be the lack of taking pycnogenol, I ordered it ASAP. I am looking forward to seeing if everything goes back to normal ranges once I begin taking it again. I believe it will. Read More Read Less

It helped with my cramps in my legs, joint pains, bone spurs and maintaining normal glucose levels.

Immediate noticable improvement in severe pitted edema that had been unresponsive to all pharmaceutical solutions for 18 months after anaphlaxis. After 24 hours my socks no longer left indents and after one week no more pitting on shins, fingers or cheek bones. Unexpected benefit of reducing my need for 400 mg of Ultram per day to 150 mg of Ultram per day. Had extremely foul and cloudy urine for first 48 hours on pycnogenol and then no more kidney pain, no more pain near splean and currently feel more alive than I have in years. It also seemed to immediately eliminate my cravings for carbs. I had been sleep eating for years and noticed it stopped after 48 hours on pycnogenol. Amazing little pill that I tried because my local health store told me another customer with a medical education had healed thier cancer partly due to pycnogenol and I was so desperate to have any quality of life at all after 8 years with an EBV triggered Rheumatoid arthritis with co-existing fibromyalgia and worst of all almost daily bouts with Trigeminal Neuralgia because the arthritis had attacked my jaw joints, that I bought it and tried it and was so grateful for taking the chance.Read More Read Less

Fantastic improvement with hyperactivity/behavior in my 9 year old son with an adhd diagnosis. We open the capsule and dissolve in natural ginger ale. He weighs 82 lbs and we give him 50 mg once in am and once in eve. No side effects. I highly recommend this supplement.
