Is Pine Bark Extract the same as Pycnogenol?

Pycnogenol is French Maritime Pine Bark Extract (Pinus pinaster). I tried a different pine bark and it did nothing for the volume of the ringing in my ears. The French Maritime Pine bark noticeably decreases the volume.

Sorry, the ingredients are worn off the label, but I actually prefer Christopher's Comfrey Root Extract which is just organic comfrey root in a base of pure vegetable glycerine and distilled water.

Despise is a strong feeling. Ponaris scent is not as strong as Pinesol, it does have some odor and, if by chance it runs in the throat it feels like a little burning for a few minutes. When applied properly in the nose is a helpful emolient in dry climate. I hope it helps to make your decision. Thanks

This product is not really extracted. Let me explain. In herbology, adding dried herbs to alcohol will create a tincture because the cellulose of the plant disintegrates in the alcohol, setting the bio-active components free. Not with mushrooms, though, mushrooms have a chitin cellular structure, not cellulose, like plants have. Chitin doesn't degrade in alcohol. The amount of bioactive components that become bioavailable in a mushroom tincture is minimal. The best extracts are powdered and have been dual extracted (hot water and alcohol). These can also guarantee a specific percentage of the bioactives - unlike tinctures. This product is not really extracted. Let me explain.

Yes, Sambucol is the original extract formulated by Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu based on her (and others) research. It uses the whole berry in a proprietary extraction process that preserves the benefits of the berry. If you review the literature you will see that Sambucol was the elderberry used in the vast majority of the clinical studies. "Sambucus" (there are several brands, but will address the Natures Way version) uses a standardized extract, which is fine, except that no one knows where exactly the benefits come from in the berry, so it may be that they are missing some key pieces, and to the best of my research has never been used in any study.

It is interesting you ask that the sulfer is 100% sorced from DMSO. I looked up DMSO and its description says that is is a by product of the wood industry. I found another site that said pine trees work really well for DMSO extraction. I know that it is the sulfer that gives it the very bitter taste. I can't say for certain that 7 lights gets theirs from pine but I would say its a fairly good chance.

I'm not sure what you are asking. Pycnogenol is a brand name that French Maritime Pine bark is sold under. One would think it would all be the same, but I didn't get the same result from the Vitamins Because Your (You're) Worth It brand as I did from the Now brand. I won't buy the "Because your worth it" brand again.

No not pinesol but it does have a distinctive smell... One my family relies on, it's almost comforting

I'm sorry, but I don't know what the "Original" one contained so I can't answer your question. My label is pretty worn so I can't give you the ingredients of this one either :( I can see Bambusa Vulgaris extract on the second line but not much else...sorry!

I love this stuff... it is amazing. It lists raspberries and blueberries, but I don't see strawberries. Under enzymes, it lists Bromelain extract, which I think is the same as or related to pineapple. I don't see the word pineapple anywhere, though. Hope that helps!

Hi there! Thank you for your question. The black pepper fruit extract used in this product is BioPerine®, and it is a standardized extract containing 95% piperine from Sabinsa Corp. Along with the BioPerine®, this product also contains 100 mg of Coenzyme

I don't know. I purchased this once, hoping it would be as effective as Pycnogenol for ringing in the ears, but it wasn't.

No it does not smell like pine Sol...I hate that smell! It is a soft smell sort of like a mild eucalyptus scent . I really like this as it is the only soap I buy now for my dishes (not dishwasher) and any other cleaning things. Did a great job on my shower too! It got rid of the mildew as my shower is large and enclosed fully. It also goes a really long way!
