Nature’s potential benefits for menopause: Study says pycnogenol might ease hair loss

02 Feb 2023 — The Mediterranean pine tree bark antioxidant pycnogenol has shown the potential to improve hair density in menopausal women. Extracted from the bark of the Maritime pine, which grows on the southwest coast of France, the extract is said to offer extensive natural health benefits as it contains bioflavonoids, procyanidins and phenolic acids. 

“Hormonal changes during menopause can affect hair growth rate, hair diameter and diameter distribution. Scalp hair density often decreases with age, leading to a heightened perception of hair thinning,” says Dr. Fred Pescatore, author and renowned natural physician.
