Pycnogenol, Women's Best Kept Secret

Dr Frank Schoenlau, Director of Scientific Communication, Horphag Research, talks about natural botanical remedy Pycnogenol, which can be taken everyday as a dietary supplement by women.

WHILE WOMEN SACRIFICE themselves for their family well-being, little is talked about their own needs, health and well-being necessities. Women in their fertile years have their specific needs and reproductive organs may cause tremendous challenges at times. Some ladies experience considerable impairment related to their monthly period. Many women silently suffer from particularly heavy pain during their period, which may be barely tolerable even with generously applied pain medication. Medical literature points to 40 per cent of women at reproductive age being affected by dysmenorrhoea, the medical term for severe spasmodic abdominal period-pain [Lind et al., Hum Reprod 2012]. This severe suffering is commonly not openly talked about, especially as there are natural, non-hormonal, side-effect-free remedies which are proven to provide relief from period pain, as demonstrated in large, controlled clinical studies. The knowledge of efficacious, natural and side-effect-free help from plants deserves to be much more communicated among women.
