My son takes Pycnogenal. We've not noticed that side effect, but each kid is so

different in their response to a supplement. He is about 80lbs and takes 50mg

in the AM and then 25 at dinner. He's 10yrs.

My son is 80 lbs. and takes 50 mg in AM with other supps and one No-Fenol caps.

due to pycnogenol's high phenol content. Eye shadows always meant an intolerance

to food due to phenols at my house. We also do Epsom Salt baths.

Thank you. I am wondering how Epsom salt helps with Pycnogenol.

I just stopped the Pycnogenol completely and will start up in low doses. His

attention and focus is all over the place, and it is supposed to make it better.

Very confused about this supplement.

Thanks again.

Epsom Salt baths or foot baths help with PST deficiencies which have to do with

the inability to process phenols. The magnesium sulfate from the Epsom Salts

help that cycle that's deficient. My son can't tolerate too many phenols and

pycnogenol is phenolic. Here is a great link on it:
