Maritime pine bark extract is an extract from the bark of Pinus pinaster which is used as a dietary supplement. It is composed mostly of proanthocyanidins.[1] Pycnogenol is a trademarked name for a standardized preparation that contains 70% procyanidins.
Meta analyses of the scientific studies of maritime pine bark extract have concluded that there is insufficient evidence to support its use for the treatment of any disease.[2]
