碧容健®提高皮膚中的血液微循環 Pycnogenol enhances blood micro-circulation in the skin 口服補充碧容健®可改善皮膚的血液循環和氧分壓，並降低二氧化碳濃度。改善皮膚血液循環，保證更適宜地提供各種重要營養物質，以及更加良好的水合作用，維持皮膚活力。 Pycnogenol enhances generation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) Taken orally, Pycnogenol was found to increase blood perfusion of the skin and oxygen partial pressure increased and, conversely, carbon dioxide concentration decreased. Improved blood perfusion warrants optimal supply with all important nutrients, as well as better hydration Pycnogenol® enhances generation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) which is the key mediator facilitating arterial relaxation and consequently allows for optimal blood flow. Taken orally, Pycnogenol® was found to increase blood perfusion of the skin and oxygen partial pressure increased and, conversely, carbon dioxide concentration decreased. This study demonstrated an improved healing of wounds (ulcers) in individuals with micro-circulatory disorders. An improved blood perfusion of the skin warrants optimal supply with all important nutrients as well as better hydration to support skin vitality. Source: www.pycnogenol.com

碧容健®影響女性皮膚彈性和水合配合增加I型膠原和玻尿酸合成酵素基因 Pycnogenol® effects on skin elasticity and hydration coincide with increased gene expressions of collagen type I and hyaluronic acid synthase in women. 結論： 證實碧容健®營養補充品有助增加人體皮膚水份和彈性，對抗皮膚提前老化。 CONCLUSIONS: Evidence that Pycnogenol® supplementation benefits human skin by increasing skin hydration and skin elasticity. Pycnogenol® supplementation may thus be useful to counteract the clinical signs of skin aging. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22270036 NTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the use of nutritional supplements to benefit human skin. Molecular evidence substantiating such effects, however, is scarce. In the present study we investigated whether nutritional supplementation of women with the standardized pine bark extract Pycnogenol® will improve their cosmetic appearance and relate these effects to expression of corresponding molecular markers of their skin. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For this purpose 20 healthy postmenopausal women were supplemented with Pycnogenol for 12 weeks. Before, during and after supplementation, their skin condition was assessed (i) by employing non-invasive, biophysical methods including corneometry, cutometry, visioscan and ultrasound analyses and (ii) by taking biopsies and subsequent PCR for gene expression analyses related to extracellular matrix homeostasis. RESULTS: Pycnogenol supplementation was well tolerated in all volunteers. Pycnogenol significantly improved hydration and elasticity of skin. These effects were most pronounced in women presenting with dry skin conditions prior to the start of supplementation. The skin-physiological improvement was accompanied by a significant increase in the mRNA expression of hyaluronic acid synthase-1 (HAS-1), an enzyme critically involved in the synthesis of hyaluronic acid, and a noticeable increase in gene expression involved in collagen de novo synthesis. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides skin-physiological and for the first time molecular evidence that Pycnogenol supplementation benefits human skin by increasing skin hydration and skin elasticity. These effects are most likely due to an increased synthesis of extracellular matrix molecules such as hyaluronic acid and possibly collagen. Pycnogenol supplementation may thus be useful to counteract the clinical signs of skin aging. Source: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22270036
