Guest guest Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Is pygnogenol legal or illegal? I checked the SCD legal list on the BTVC web site, but it isn't listed as pygnogenol, or as pine bark. It is dried pine bark extract. Can anyone tell me if Elaine ever made a call on using pine bark? Meleah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Hi Meleah, I tried to search the chemical composition of pygnogenol but got this message from Google: " Your search - pygnogenol " chemical composition " - did not match any documents. " Tree barks are usually not SCD legal. I am really sorry. Mimi > Is pygnogenol legal or illegal?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 pygnogenol is a proanthocyanidin which are a flavanoid family and probably legal per se, wether the extract it is in has any polysaccharides in is another question > > Is pygnogenol legal or illegal?

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 If you do use it -- google grape seed extract vs. pygnogenol first. Grape seed appears to be superior and cheaper. Both are high phenol (made my kid nuts!). - momfreespirit wrote: pygnogenol is a proanthocyanidin which are a flavanoid family and probably legal per se, wether the extract it is in has any polysaccharides in is another question > > Is pygnogenol legal or illegal?

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 Hi Meleah, Elaine did not (TMK) comment on pine bark extract. What is the chemical composition of the extract (any polysaccharides other illegals etc..) <<Is pygnogenol legal or illegal?
