Atlantica<\/jats:italic>. In 39 randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled (RDP) human clinical trials including 2,009 subjects, Pycnogenol<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> French maritime pine bark extract supplementation for two weeks to six months has been shown to beneficially affect cardiovascular health, chronic venous insufficiency, cognition, joint health, skin health, eye health, women\u2019s health, respiratory health and allergies, oral health and sports performance. The mechanisms of action that can explain the respective effects on different conditions in the human body are discussed as well. As investigated in several <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic> and in clinical studies, Pycnogenol<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> French maritime pine bark extract showed antioxidative effects, anti-inflammatory abilities, beneficial effects on endothelial function and reinforcing effects on the extracellular matrix. The present review aims to give a comprehensive overview of currently available \u201cgold standard\u201d RDP trials of Pycnogenol<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup>\u2019s benefits across various health domains compared to placebo. In addition, some of the processes on which the presented effects of Pycnogenol<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> French maritime pine bark extract are based will be elucidated and discussed. This broad overview of RDP studies on Pycnogenol<jats:sup>\u00ae<\/jats:sup> in different health domains can be used as a basis for further research on applications and mechanisms of this unique French maritime pine bark extract.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2024.1389374","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]],"date-time":"2024-05-02T04:32:36Z","timestamp":1714624356000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["Pycnogenol\u00ae French maritime pine bark extract in randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical studies"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Franziska","family":"Weichmann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Rohdewald","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,5,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"10","DOI":"10.18016\/ksutarimdoga.vi.875313","article-title":"Determination of antioxidant activity of different extracts from bark of Pinus spp. grown in Giresun (Turkey) province \u2013 phenolic analysis by RP-HPLC-DAD.","volume":"25","author":"Kara\u00e7elik","year":"2022","journal-title":"KSU J Agric Nat."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1866","DOI":"10.2174\/1381612826666200212113903","article-title":"Pine bark phenolic extracts, current uses, and potential food applications: A review.","volume":"26","author":"Dridi","year":"2020","journal-title":"Curr Pharm Des."},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"192","DOI":"10.1071\/HC23064","article-title":"Pine bark.","volume":"15","author":"Lee","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Prim Health Care."},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"9","DOI":"10.1124\/jpet.114.220277","article-title":"Pine bark extracts: Nutraceutical, pharmacological, and toxicological evaluation.","volume":"353","author":"Li","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Pharmacol Exp Ther."},{"key":"B5","first-page":"1","author":"Oliff","year":"2019","journal-title":"Scientific and clinical monograph for Pycnogenol."},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"158","DOI":"10.5414\/CPP40158","article-title":"A review of the French maritime pine bark extract (Pycnogenol), a herbal medication with a diverse clinical pharmacology.","volume":"40","author":"Rohdewald","year":"2002","journal-title":"Int J Clin Pharmacol Ther."},{"key":"B7","first-page":"6748","year":"2016","journal-title":"USP monograph.
