Pycnogenol, a bark extract from the French maritime pine tree, reduced overall knee osteoarthritis (OA) symptoms by 20.9 percent and lowered pain by 40.3 percent, a new study in the August journal of Phytotherapy Research revealed. The study showed Pycnogenol acts as a potent anti-inflammatory and that the lasting effects of the extract may help damaged joints recover.
