[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.

• 11 Essential Herbs to Nourish and promote Kidney Health
• Revitalizes Sexual Well-Being
• Enhances Energy, Stamina and Vitality
• Regulates Oxidative Stress to Improve Immune Functions
The ideal daily supplement for the active man, Genital Power consists of 11 unique extracts. Including essential herbs like Epimedium (Horny Goat Weed), Asian Ginseng (Panax ginseng) and Schizandra (wu Wei Zi). This traditional formulation has ling been used to promote kidney health for enhanced energy and longevity. Italian researchers recently discovered an important compound in Epimedium called “icariin”, and agent which has been shown to increase nitric oxide levels to help relax smooth muscles. Separate studies suggest that the fruit of Schizandra to contain “ligins” which have a protective property on the liver and immune system. Combined with ingredients like Asian Ginseng to help promote health and general vigor as well as aid against fatigue and oxidative stress, Genital Power can play an important role in stimulating overall kidney health. This exclusive supplement is recommended for men seeking enhanced energy, vitality and sexual will being.

Ingredients: Epimedium, Epimedium brevicormum, ligustrum, ligustrum licidum, Chinese Yam Dioscorea opposita, Asian Ginseng, Panax ginseng, Astragalus, astragalus membraneceus, Rehmannia, Rehmannia glutosa, Foti Polygonum multifflorum, Psoralea Psoralea corylifolia, Eucommia Eucommia ulmoides, cnidium cnidium monnieri, Schizandra Schisandra Chinensis

Belgian biochemist Christian de Duve (1917-2013) was best known for his work on understanding and categorising subcellular organelles. He won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1974 for his joint discovery of lysosomes, the subcellular organelles that digest macromolecules and deal with ingested bacteria. [Listener: Peter Newmark]

TRANSCRIPT: And so, a year later, another patient with the disease was detected at the University of Brussels and Pierre Baudhuin in our laboratory did a microscopic… electron microscopic examination on the biopsy fragment of the liver of that child because, by that time, we had acquired an electron microscope and Baudhuin and Beaufay were the main experts and so they found that, indeed, the glycogen, or much of the glycogen in this pathological sample, was surrounded by a membrane, was confined within a sac-like particle which, presumably, was a lysosome, and this indeed turned out to be the case. And so, in this way, he discovered the first lysosomal storage disease which he then went on to generalise into a major concept, the concept of an inborn lysosomal disease being that in the cells all kinds of materials – lipids, polysaccharides, you name it, they are there – get into lysosomes, sometimes by endocytosis but most of the time by autophagy. Those materials are then digested in the lysosomes by… 50 or more enzymes are now known… broken down… the products of the breakdown… the breakdown products go through the membrane, are utilised by the cell, and this goes on and on and on. But if one of those enzymes happens to be missing or deficient then among all this material, those molecules that require the missing enzyme to be broken down, would accumulate. And so, depending on the nature of the missing enzyme, you would have a different kind of chemical material accumulating, always in the lysosomes. Now, that was a tremendously fruitful concept – it was a paper published in Gastroenterology in 1965 –and it has a major impact on the whole field because, for a number of… many years the whole category of diseases was known; they were called storage diseases, they were genetic diseases – in French they were called thesaurismoses… thesaurismosis, essentially due to their abnormal storage of materials within cells, and those could be mucopolysaccharides of one form or another… in Hurler or Hunter Disease, could be lipids of one form or another; or another, glucocerebrosides, glycolipids, in Gaucher’s Disease, in Fabry’s Disease; sphingomyelin in Niemann-Pick Disease. I mean, these diseases all have the names of the physicians who described them but there was a whole mysterious chapter of pathology and literally, from one day to the other, the whole thing was clarified. Of course it needed many investigations by a number of really very good biochemists, mostly in the United States, to actually identify the missing enzyme and… clarifying the whole field. So that was a major… a major contribution which interestingly was made through the lysosome field by the only one in my group who had actually decided he didn’t want to have anything to do with them, but that’s life.
