PINE BARK – DRY EXTRACT

EUROMED pine extract is a standardized herbal extract of Pinus pinaster Sol. in Ait. bark, a tree widely distributed throughout the Mediterranean countries.

The standardized mixture of polyphenols obtained from pine bark is still not completely known. It contains mainly procyanidol oligomers, dimers, trimers, tetramers, and oligomers up to seven units as well as small amounts of monomer (catechin and epicatechin). Oligomers and polymers of catechin end epicatechin found in a pine bark are also named procianydins, procyanidolic oligomers (PCO), leucoanthocyanimins or condensed tannins. Procyanidins are constituted by a variable number of flatten units linked by B1- B4, B5-b8, C4-c4 or C4-C8 bonds.
