Pine Bark Extract Pycnogenol Reduces Osteoarthritis Symptoms
Filed in archive Drugs, Vaccines and Therapeutics , Food and Agriculture on April 18, 2008
Yet another study involving the medical utility of Pycnogenol indicates that the pine bark extract can reduce all osteoarthritis symptoms by 56 percent.
The study revealed a particularly high efficacy of Pycnogenol for lowering joint pain by 55 percent. Moreover, patients required dramatically less standard pain medication (-58 percent), which greatly improved the gastrointestinal complications resulting from the pain medication by 63 percent.
In addition to the osteoarthritis results, 76 percent of the patients in the Pycnogenol group and 79 percent in the placebo group showed visible ankle and foot edema at inclusion of the study. After the three months, edema decreased in 79 percent of the Pycnogenol patients and only one percent in placebo-treated patients.
