Pycnogenol Relieves Jetlag Symptoms

Air travel just got easier! A new study reveals that Pycnogenol® reduces jetlag in passengers by nearly 50 percent. Jetlag, caused by the body’s inability to immediately adjust to the time in a different zone while travelling, was practically cut in half for commuters taking seven to nine hour flights.

The two-part study, published in Minerva Cardioangiologica showed Pycnogenol lowered symptoms of jetlag such as fatigue, headaches, insomnia and brain edema (swelling) in both healthy individuals and hypertensive patients. Patients also experienced minimal lower leg edema, a common condition associated with long flights.

Pycnogenol has been shown to be beneficial for flight travels in previous studies pertaining to edema, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blood circulation improvement and is emerging as a natural, yet safe option for long distance travelers.
