What Are The Side Effects Of Pycnogenol?
I am 87 years old. I have been taking Pycnogenol for many years for Raynouds(?). I have been having very thin, watery, diarrhea for years. Also, my hair is getting thinner and thinner. Could Pycnogenol be the reason for this? I am 5 tall, and weigh 100 pounds. YYYY@YYYY

Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Pycnogenol(French Maritime Pine Bark Extract) , is the US registered trademark name for a product derived from the pine bark of a tree known as Pinus pinaste.
Pycnogenol is safe with limited or no side effect except mild gastric discomfort,vertigo, headache and nausea and rarely in women melasma.
