PYCNOGENOL - FRIEND OR FRAUD by George J. McClelland

Why is it praised by some and cursed by others?

Pycnogenols are OPCs and are antioxidants. They are found in

plants throughout the world and are produced as part of the

plant’s survival system. The greater the environmental stress,

the more powerful the OPCs it produces. The most powerful

OPCs are found in the Maritime Pine Tree of France. A French

scientist read of a tragedy which happened in the St. Lawrence

Seaway where some sailors whose ship was trapped in the ice

were dying of a strange disease. Natives introduced them to a

stinky tea made from the local pine trees. The sailors who drank

the tea quickly regained health.

Since the Maritime Pine Tree in France was used for lumber, the

bark was readily available. His experiments resulted in the

introduction of OPCs as a great healing source. The name

Pycnogenol was patented and it only refers to OPCs from the

Maritime Pine Tree. None of the OPCs coming from other

sources can legally be called Pycnogenol. The Horphag Company

who owns the patent and trademark actively pursues people who

illegally use the name “Pycnogenol” as more and more of those

companies are discovering. All OPCs are antioxidants, but their

quality varies greatly.

About 15 years ago, Dr. Lamar Rosquist recorded a tape

concerning his use of Horphag Pycnogenol. The testimonials

were mind boggling and covered a wide range of illnesses.

Over a million copies were sold and at least a million more

were illegally distributed. Many people who used his tape

were selling inferior quality OPCs as pycnogenol and people

who bought it did not get the results described by Dr. Rosquist.

Disappointed, they yelled “Fraud.” Fraud was (and still is)

involved, but it is the look alike products that are fraud.

To get the best results from Horphag Pycnogenol, you need a

product with a delivery system and you need to use one

milligram per one pound of body weight. Since the root cause

of most illnesses is free radical damage, Horphag Pycnogenol
