Hmm, I haven't heard that. Pycnogenol is in my moisturizer and the phamplet says: harvested from the bark of the French maritime pine, Pynogenol functions as an extrememly powerful antioxidant (more powerful that both vitamins E and C) and works with other antioxidants in the body to strengthen their function. It also demonstrates potent anti-inflammatory effects and improves ciculation, improving oxygen and nutrient delivery.
Very interesting!
