. Previously, pycnogenol has been demonstrated to reduce diabetic leg ulcers as well as reduce symptoms of attention deficit hyeractivity disorder (ADHD).
A study to be published in Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice also reveals that Pycnogenol delays the uptake of glucose from a meal 190 times more than synthetic prescription alpha-glucosidase inhibitors such as Precose®, and is thus more potent in preventing the typical high glucose peak in the blood stream after a meal.
Pycnogenol® is a natural plant extract originating from the bark of the maritime pine that grows along the coast of southwest France.

"The high concentration of procyanidins (flavonoids) found in Pycnogenol® is responsible for demonstrating these excellent results," said Högger. According to Högger, the large procyanidin molecules were found to be particularly active for inhibiting the activity of alpha-glucosidase, thus demonstrating such notable results. "The carbohydrates enter the blood stream steadily over prolonged periods of time, which makes meals last longer and prolong satiety."
