[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.

DESCRIPTION: Randomized controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of drugs versus curcumin, the yellow pigment in the spice turmeric, for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory rheumatoid arthritis.

Did you guess that’s what was on the cover of my latest DVD (https://nutritionfacts.org/2013/12/05/all-of-dr-gregers-dvds-now-downloadable)? Hard to appreciate the gorgeous color of fresh turmeric root unless you see it for yourself. You should be able to find it at any large Asian store. I incorporate it into my Natural Nausea Remedy Recipe (https://nutritionfacts.org/2013/05/28/dr-gregers-natural-nausea-remedy-recipe/). The inner color is almost fluorescent!

I’m afraid followers of NutritionFacts.org are going to get sick of turmeric, but there’s a load of important new research I felt I needed to cover. Next I’ll cover Turmeric Curcumin and Osteoarthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-osteoarthritis), then move to Boosting the Bioavailability of Curcumin (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/boosting-the-bioavailability-of-curcumin), and end (for now!) with a video on Who Shouldn’t Consume Curcumin or Turmeric (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/who-shouldnt-consume-curcumin-or-turmeric).

I’ve talked about treating autoimmune joint inflammation with diets full of plants in Diet & Rheumatoid Arthritis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/diet-rheumatoid-arthritis/) and Potassium and Autoimmune Disease (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/potassium-and-autoimmune-disease/).

If phenylbutazone sounds vaguely familiar, maybe you read my Q&A Is horse meat safe to eat? (https://nutritionfacts.org/questions/is-horse-meat-safe-to-eat/).

Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at https://nutritionfacts.org/video/turmeric-curcumin-and-rheumatoid-arthritis/ and he’ll try to answer it!
