An extract of maritime pine bark called Pycnogenol bears 65–75 percent proanthocyanidins (procyanidins). [10] Thus a 100 mg serving would contain 65 to 75 mg of proanthocyanidins (procyanidins). Proanthocyanidin glycosides can be isolated from cocoa liquor .
Maritime pine bark extract is an extract from the bark of Pinus pinaster which is used as a dietary supplement. It is composed mostly of proanthocyanidins . [ 1 ] Pycnogenol is a trademarked name for a standardized preparation that contains 70% procyanidins .
The Porter Assay is a chemical test to help determine the potency of procyanidin containing compounds, such as grape seed extract. It is an acid hydrolysis, which splits larger chain units (dimers and trimers) into single unit monomers and oxidizes them. This leads to a colour change, which can be measured using a spectrophotometer. The greater ...
Probico also known as PBCo, is a comprehensive formulation consisting of proanthocyanidin, biotin, and coenzyme Q10.Probico addresses three primary causes of hair loss: amino acid deficiency, inadequate hair synthesis, and follicle inflammation, excluding the hormonal imbalance and blood circulation issues which require prescription medications.
Procyanidin C2 is the subtype of extract most effective. [11] Experiments showed that both procyanidin C2 and Pycnogenol (French maritime pine bark extract) increase TNF-α secretion in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. These results demonstrate that procyanidins act as modulators of the immune response in macrophages.

Schematic representation of a condensed tannin molecule. Condensed tannins can be linear (with 4→8 bounds) or branched (with 4→6 bounds - dotted line).. Condensed tannins (proanthocyanidins, polyflavonoid tannins, catechol-type tannins, pyrocatecollic type tannins, non-hydrolyzable tannins or flavolans) are polymers formed by the condensation of flavans.
