The anti-oxidant power of OPCs has been reported to be more than 20 times that of vitamin C and more than 50 times that of Vitamin E. Pine bark from New Zealand is subject to stronger ultraviolet B exposure than that from many other regions. This is due to the clear skies and bright sunlight in New Zealand and results in superior anti-oxidant power.<\/p>\r\n  <p>Bark is not suitable as a food and also we could not derive enough nutrients simply by eating it. Many years of research have resulted in the production of a pine bark extract using a patented pure extraction method. This extraction method preserves the rich content of (OPCs) maintaining the product\u2019s powerful anti-oxidant properties.<\/p>\r\n  <p>New Zealand pine bark extract powder is derived from the 100% natural bark of New Zealand grown Pinus radiata trees. It contains more than 70% of OPCs, in addition to a variety of 40 other natural components such as flavonoids and phenol related compounds. In clinical trials and basic research, pine bark has been  shown to have a wide range of beneficial effects in anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and migraine health. In recent research it has been revealed that pine bark extract enhances activity of the brain and improves cognitive function.<\/p>\r\n  <p>Conditions that New Zealand pine bark extract has been reported to benefit:\r\n<ul class=\"noline\">\r\n<li>General skin health<\/li>\r\n<li>Peroxide damage due to strenuous exercise<\/li>\r\n<li>Oxidative balance<\/li>\r\n<li>Cardiovascular health<\/li>\r\n<li>Visual function due to oxidative stress<\/li>\r\n<li>Brain activation and cognitive function<\/li>\r\n<li>Promotion of hair growth<\/li>\r\n<\/ul><\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<div class=\"details_box\">\r\n  <b>References<\/b>\r\n  <ol class=\"reference\">\r\n  <li>Senti T.
