Pinus pinaster(Pycogenol)

findings suggest that a standardized extract of Pinus pinaster (pycnogenol) bark may be beneficial for ADHD; however, only one controlled study has been published.19 Children and adolescents who received pycnogenol for one month experienced non-significant improvements in inattention, improved visual-motor coordination; however, no improvements were seen in symptoms of hyperactivity. Symptoms returned to pretreatment baseline levels after a one-month wash-out. Only one case of mild gastric discomfort was reported. These findings should be regarded as preliminary pending replication by large prospective studies.
