Pycnogenol^® for Healthy Joints

Our joints are subject to wear and tear and with increasing age the lining of joints, the cushioning cartilage, gradually degenerates. When cartilage has reached significant abrasion tissue will be affected and tissue trauma initiates a local inflammation. Inflammatory cells accelerate degeneration of joints by secreting reactive oxygen species (“oxidative burst”), nitric oxide and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). The consequence is a reduced flexibility of joints and predominantly pain which, left untreated, may reach excruciating levels.
