[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.

How to make stevia / stevioside concentrate. We were one of the first three companies selling stevia and stevia extract (Stevioside). We started way back in the mid 1990′s.

Since there is so much bad information going around, we felt a responsibility to make this video for you on how to make stevia liquid concentrate for yourself.

Why pay $8.00, $13.95, $15.95 for fifty cents of stevia concentrate.

There are only two ingredients.
1 teaspoon of stevia (green powder), or as we are making it (stevia extract aka stevioside aka steviol glycosides).
3 TABLESPOONS of purified water.

That’s it!
If you want a good, cheap preservative to use for the stevia liquid concentrate, ad 2-3 drops of unflavored water.

WARNING: Make Absolutely Sure the container you will be using has been sterilized!
