Pycnogenol, Low Or No Side Effects, Yet Affects Most Everything A
Plus.

If you are a serious diabetic looking for some help that works,
particularly if neuropathy is in your mix, with leg or foot sores, you
have to read this.
The original stories came from way back a century or two ago when they
were trying to find a northwest passage and ships got frozen in North
Canada for the winter.
Sailors, on one ship, eating the usual ship fare of flour and side pork,
started dying one or more a week. Consulting with the local Indians for
help, the captain was told to make a Tea of pine bark which he did.
This stopped all deaths for the rest of the winter according to the
story. This is something called now a days, Pycnogenol.
This is not something new, Pycnogenol, is a substance around for
years made from pine bark. Turns out the best source is the bark of
the French maritime pine tree, so even though it has been around and in
use for centuries, a Frenchman patented it and it now seems extra
expensive.
Never the less, the stuff reduces cardiovascular risk factors in people
with type 2 diabetes according to recent studies at Az
State.
There have been over 100 studies over the years on this stuff being very
effective for various uses, but this is the first slanted primarily to
diabetes and associated ailments and even takes up the bad diabetic
kidney effects.
Previously I had taken it, but always dropped out because it was
expensive, switching at one time to grape seed extract which seems to
have the same benefit.
However, a couple of years ago when i had a sore (burn) on my waist that
would not heal up (diabetics heal up slow) for six months. I found the
only thing that would clear it up was taking Pycnogenol.
Therefore, I wrote an article on my experience with that, so I
publicly vouch for the effectiveness of "Pycnogenol".
These new studies show specifically this time that it reduces blood
sugar, allowing the lowering of dosage of high blood pressure medicine
because it greatly improves their cardiovascular risk factors that are
what usually winds up killing diabetics, not the diabetes itself.
Researchers at the University of Arizona acknowledge that Pycnogenol
studies had previously shown that it benefited the heart, but this study
shows it simultaneously lowers blood glucose, LDL cholesterol and blood
pressure in patients participating in the study.
Biggest benefit we note from this study is it seems to allow diabetics
to lower their dosage of high blood pressure medicine, and improves
their cardiovascular risk factors, which most diabetics are unaware is
the real killer.
This is the first time formal studies take up the beneficial use of
protecting kidney function in diabetics.
Overall, of the 100 plus studies, over a lot of years, we have heard of
no down side, results are all sensational and if you are looking for a
proven winner that works for just about everything, even when nothing
else does, give Pycnogenol a shot.
