Pycnogenol acts as an anti-inflammatory and the study also suggests that Pycnogenol may assist the joints in recovery.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.elements4health.com/pine-bark-extract-reduces-knee-osteoarthritis.html"><DIV>

Overall knee osteoarthritis symptoms improved showed a significant 20.9 percent improvement in the Pycnogenol group, with joint improvement persisting for 4 weeks after intake of Pycnogenol was discontinued.
