Not Just For Jet Lag

By healthgal, Health Pro Thursday, November 06, 2008

While researching and writing about jet lag, I came across a newly studied treatment, Pycnogenol.  Apparently this supplement may have a host of possible target conditions that it can help with including ED.  In fact, researchers have studied its use in combination with L-arginine and came to the initial conclusion that it might have efficacy for some men though "further research is needed."  Other possible benefits may be:

  • Improving sperm quality and function in sub-fertile men.
  • Reducing LDL/increasing HDL
  • Decreasing systolic (upper number) in blood pressure
  • Reducing cramping in serious athletes
  • Helping in asthma treatment
  • When combined with vitamins E and C - help migraine sufferers
  • Reduce the inflammation of a sunburn
  • Help with DVTs, SVTs and leg edema
  • Improve blood circulation
  • Help with menstrual cramping.

 

As with all supplements - check with your doctor AND always buy supplements from a reputable pharmacy or health food store.
