Well, it tastes horrible but I know my health is worth more than my taste buds so I am really glad I bought this product. And yes, it does work very well. Great value for the money and of course I will be buying more from this company. Greg

I’ve been reading about pine bark and it’s antioxidant properties. I finished a bottle a couple of years ago and noticed clearer eyes and skin but it was so expensive. When I saw the price of this I decided to give it a try. I’m seeing improvement in my health even though I don’t take it every day. This powder doesn’t taste the best but I prefer the taste over added chemicals.

I have had so many health issues since getting a certain shot and doctors right now are baffled as to how to help me. Not to mention I also have an autoimmune disease on top of these new issues. Anyway it's supposed to help heart, brain and joint issues. Well so far I have noticed that my energy is a little better with Pine bark extract than without it. I put 1/4 teaspoon in my coffee substitute drink every morning. Most of the time the 1/4 tsp stays in lump form so I try to drink it down without stirring it so it doesn't make my coffee taste weird. But sometimes I forget and stir it all up - it mixes eventually or I find if I mix it in first with my coffee powder and sugar before I pour in the hot water then it mixes well. It adds a bit of off flavor to my coffee that way but it's not that bad. I can't say that I have noticed any other help yet other than some extra energy but from what I have read is that this can take up to 12 weeks to get the full benefit from the product. I am also adding a 1/16th bit to my dogs food every other day (they are getting really old and have some arthritis) so am hoping that it will help with their aches and pains too. I may begin to up my dose a little bit take 1/4 tsp 2x a day instead of once a day to see if I see more results. I will write more as time goes on but so far I am glad to find something that has so many benefits for the body and mind. I am over 60 years so anything to help keep me healthy is a blessing - I am allergic to most medicines so I do what I can to avoid them. This product seems to be of good quality and seems fresh (although I don't have any experience with other products yet) and was priced about the same as others online. Stay tuned for more information in a few months.

This bulk pine bark seems stronger and purer than the capsule versions I’ve used. Even at roughly 50mg. X 3 / day, my calves no longer feel swollen and heavy, and do better with this than a more expensive, multi herbal leg circulation formula I used before.

Love this stuff. I originally discovered Pine bark extract while looking for a way to reduce my age spots as this has been shown to reduce melasma. Upon further research I found it's good for concentration and focus which I thought is a nice bonus.The first week I took it I didn't notice much. By the 2nd week I noticed the spots were getting lighter ...but more impressive and unexpected was how I could think faster and clearer on it and also get more done...an I was staying focused on things longer to be able to finish them. I've been having trouble with my memory (I'm 45) and my thoughts haven't been coming together as quickly as they used to..my brain just felt slower. My dad has Alzheimer's and I know symptoms begin your 40s...so I've been taking coconut oil which helped some and cinnamon which is known to break up amyloid plaque. Ultimately I believe I need to detox my brain of heavy metals which I believe is the cause.But I definitely notice a difference in my mental capacity on this. It's not a rush like caffeine or anything like that...in fact I almost didn't notice it as the changes felt "normal"...as one should feel to be able to recall words and names right away. I've always been horrible with names and it was at my son's school orientation when I truly realized the Pine bark was working. I was telling my son.."oh look, there's ______ and there's _______!"....kids I've haven't seen in a few years and barely knew them. I can barely remember the kids names on our street! It hit me seconds later that I realized normally I would NEVER be able to do that.As for the age spots (I have 2)...the large lighter one has lightened. But the smaller darker one still has a ways to go and I've only seen slight change on that one. However I've only been on this for 3 weeks. But either way, I will continue on this stuff regardless of what is does for the age spots. I fill only one side of a 00 capsule (the larger side)...I measured and it comes to about an 1/8 of a tsp. Filling both sides was more than I needed.I also saw PBE is high in polyphenols...a great antioxidant. So I am thrilled at the numerous benefits.

I like this stuff. When I first got it I was worried I would have to toss it due to the fact it would make me nauseous. I found out my dose was too high and taking anything aver 500 mgs might make one throw up and anything over a gram will make you throw up. Also the taste was disagreeable and it has a sort of sticky type of feel. So I started making tea. I have a keurig coffee maker I pour 10 oz of water out stir in 125-250 mgs of the extract and drink it like tea. Delicious, like black tea with a woody aroma. Sometimes I make it 50/50 with Rhodiola extract and seriously it is some of the best tea I have ever drank. It has a very nice astringent property, and is good for the veins. Really swells them up gets the blood moving. I would drink maybe 2-3 cups of this tea and have been doing so for a week. I noticed an effect of it sort of making my muscles "ache" at times, not a painful type but the kind that makes me want to use my muscle. Like a very endorphin like type of feel and moving the muscle feels so good and carnal, like the astringent property is being applied to my muscle. I am noticeably more comfortable in the cold. At 100 grams 250 mg servings will last a while. The amount of money I am saving simply by using this as tea will pay for the supplement. Some extracts seem to have an alcoholy or very solvent like essence or aftertaste, this one however is not like that. Also if taken right after or before eating a high protein meal it seems to help it digest better.
