It looks like an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, reduces blood sugar in type II diabetes patients, allows people to lower their antihypertensive medication and improves cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors.
This report also says that this "miracle drug" can also reduce platelet aggregation, lowers LDL and increases HDL cholesterol and modifies hypertension, among other things.
But what really makes the study results compelling is Pycnogenol simultaneously lowered blood glucose, LDL cholesterol and blood pressure in patients.
Pycnogenol was shown to lower blood sugar levels and not affect insulin levels.
Pycnogenol heals leg ulcers in patients who suffer from diabetic leg ulcerations.
And, earlier studies with more than 1,000 diabetes patients, showed that Pycnogenol has the ability to seal leaky capillaries in the eye. This capability stops the progression of vision loss in patients suffering from diabetic retinopathy, a diabetes-induced eye disease that leads to blindness.
Though the study also had the subjects use the medications that they were already taking, the results of this test really looks as if Pycnogenol might be an extraordinary new help for diabetics and for all patients too.
Why haven't we heard more about this tree before this?
Finally, some good news!
