Pycnogenol for ADHD


Pycnogenol has been heralded by many sufferers of ADHD as the single most effective substance available today for the management and improvement of ADHD symptoms. In many cases, this important supplement has effectively mitigated all symptoms of ADHD and has been as effective as prescription medications in accomplishing this result.

Pycnogenol is a natural substance formulated from the bark of the French Maritime Pine Tree. This supplement provides a concentration of 80% to 85% bioflavonoid compounds that have been widely recognized for their powerful antioxidant properties.

Pycnogenol is very popular in Europe and has been prescribed in clinical use for almost 40 years. In recent years, scientific, trial and clinical studies have been performed which have validated the curative properties of Pycnogenol. In Tulsa, Oklahoma, a preliminary study was performed by a psychologist specializing in treating ADHD. This study was performed using a commercially available formulation of the supplement. In these clinical trials, the study subjects (ADHD children and adults) achieved results in their tested levels of attention, concentration, and related factors that were essentially equivalent to their tested levels when they were taking their prescription medications.

In the treatment of ADHD, Pycnogenol works to prevent and reduce free radical damage in the brain and nerve tissue. It has also been theorized that it may support and improve the function of key neurotransmitters (dopamine and norepinephrine) in the brain, supporting efficient communication among and between the brain cells and the nervous system. This supplement may also enhance the delivery of key nutrients to the brain, including calcium, magnesium, and zinc, all of which have been scientifically correlated with improvements in ADHD symptoms.

Pycnogenol is the most widely know formulation of a class of supplements know as Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins. Click here for more information on Oligomeric Proanthocyanidins and how they can be used in the treatment of ADHD.
