Hi‑Tech Pharmaceuticals’ Pine Bark is a dietary wellness supplement formulated with pine bark extract — a plant‑derived ingredient rich in antioxidant phytochemicals called proanthocyanins, which are believed to be more powerful than vitamins C and E. This product is designed to support overall health through antioxidant activity, immune system support, and cognitive function support. It also uses Hi‑Tech’s proprietary Cyclosome™ Delivery Technology to improve gastrointestinal absorption and increase how much of the active extract enters the bloodstream. Key Features: Antioxidant Support: Contains proanthocyanins, strong antioxidants thought to help neutralize free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative stress. Immune System Support: Pine bark compounds are associated with immune modulation and possible reduction of inflammatory cytokines. Enhanced Absorption Technology — Cyclosome™: Proprietary delivery system that encapsulates ingredients in phospholipids to improve absorption into the bloodstream vs typical tablets. Cognitive/Brain Function Support: Ingredients may support improved blood flow and cognitive performance by maintaining healthy circulation and reducing oxidative damage to brain cells. Benefits Antioxidant Protection: Helps combat oxidative stress more effectively than some vitamins. Immune & Anti‑Inflammatory Support: May reduce inflammation by lowering cytokine activity and blunt chronic inflammatory responses. Cognitive Function: Can support memory, focus, and overall brain health by protecting neurons and improving microcirculation. Circulation & Heart Health: Pine bark extract has been shown in studies to support nitric oxide production and vascular function, improving blood flow and potentially cardiovascular wellness. Immune Boost & Recovery: Helps the body’s natural defenses and may shorten the duration of common colds. Key Ingredients 1. Pine Bark Extract (Standardized for Proanthocyanins) Source: Usually Pinus pinaster bark. Rich in proanthocyanidins, potent plant antioxidants thought to have broad health impact including free‑radical scavenging, circulation support, anti‑inflammatory action, and cognitive benefits. 2. Cyclosome™ Delivery System Components: Includes phospholipids (e.g., phosphatidylcholine, lecithin), cyclodextrin complexes, and phytosterol compounds to aid absorption. 3. Inactive Ingredients: Typically microcrystalline cellulose, silica, magnesium stearate — common tablet binders/flow agents.
