Pycnogenol® is the trademarked name of a product made from a tree known as French Pine or French Maritime Pine. (The botanical name of this tree is Pinus pinaster.)

In this country, Pycogenol® is marketed as a nutritional supplement. It's mainly used for asthma and a condition known as chronic venus insufficiency, or CVI.

Some herbalists are recommending it for conditions ranging from diabetes to erectile dysfunction but there is only limited evidence for these uses.
