PROPERTIES OF PYCNOGENOL Free radicals are very destructive chemical reactions
that occur when compounds such as lipids (oils) in our body react with oxygen.
This damages DNA, cell membranes, and collagen. Many diseases are associated
with free radicals, particularly, heart disease, cancer, and aging. Inflammation is marked by redness, swelling and pain
and is involved in many disease processes. Allergies are specific forms of inflammation
resulting from hypersensitivity to various substances. Pycnogenol prevents the
liberation of allergic mediators such as histamine.
