Study finds natural supplement effective in reducing waistline obesity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and high blood sugar when paired with a healthy diet and exercise
GENEVA, Switzerland - Important new research shows effectiveness of a natural supplement in combating the risk factors of metabolic syndrome, which affects the health of millions of Americans. A clinical trial published in the January online issue of Phytotherapy Research found natural supplement Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-all), an antioxidant plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, to be effective in helping to reduce health risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome. Nearly 90 percent of study participants who supplemented a healthy diet and regular exercise with Pycnogenol® showed significant improvement of all metabolic syndrome characteristics, including obesity and high blood pressure.
The American Heart Association (AHA) defines metabolic syndrome as simultaneous presence of three of five risk factors, including central obesity (40+ inch waistline for men, 35+ inch waistline for women), low HDL (good) cholesterol, high blood pressure, high glucose (sugar) and high triglycerides (fat).
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that some 75 million Americans suffer from metabolic syndrome, which can significantly increase the risk of heart disease, stroke and type II diabetes.
“In this study, we found that Pycnogenol® can aid people struggling with metabolic syndrome to control blood lipids, sugar and blood pressure. Results show that those who supplemented healthy diet and moderate exercise with Pycnogenol® were able to improve heart health and lose weight, reaching an almost normal body mass index (BMI),” said Dr. Gianni Belcaro, a lead researcher of the study. “This study provides evidence that daily supplementation with Pycnogenol® may offer a natural approach to help achieve healthy blood pressure, improved cholesterol and blood sugar levels and ultimately, greater cardiovascular health.”
