[What is Pine bark?]

Pine bark, botanical name Pinus pinaster, is a maritime pine native to southwest France that also grows in countries along the western Mediterranean.  Pine bark contains a number of beneficial compounds that are extracted from the bark in a way that doesn’t destroy or damage the tree.

[How does it work?]

What gives pine bark extract its notoriety as a powerful ingredient and super antioxidant is that it’s loaded with oligomeric proanthocyanidin compounds, OPCs for short. The same ingredient can be found in grape seeds, the skin of peanuts and witch hazel bark. But what makes this miracle ingredient so amazing?

While OPCs found in this extract are mostly known for their antioxidant-producing benefits, these amazing compounds exude antibacterial, antiviral, anticarcinogenic, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic properties. Pine bark extract can help reduce muscle soreness and may help improve conditions relating to poor circulation, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes, ADHD, female reproductive issues, skin, erectile dysfunction, eye disease and sports stamina.

Seems like it must be pretty amazing, but let’s look closer. The list goes on a bit further, as the OPCs in this extract may “inhibit lipid peroxidation, platelet aggregation, capillary permeability and fragility, and to affect enzyme systems,” which basically means it may be a natural treatment for many serious health conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.

In this video, Sajah describes how a simple triplet formula of Dandelion root, Burdock root, and Chicory root provides a potent natural form of prebiotics. With so much focus on gut restoration these days, a lot of people tend to think only in terms of probiotics to restore the integrity of the digestive system. But what about what keeps the bacterial ecology already there healthy and thriving?

Prebiotics are simple polysaccharides which are food for the probiotic bacteria dwelling within the microbiome of the digestive system. Taking a strong decoction of these 3 herbs provides not only a good dose of prebiotics in the form of inulin, but also benefits the liver, gall bladder, blood, lymph, kidneys and overall detoxification processes of the body as these herbs are all trusty alteratives.

To make it a little more palatable, and to balance the energetics and constitutional effects of the formula, we like to add a touch of Ginger too and Licorice root as well, to warm it up and make it a bit more moistening.
