Pine bark extract boost for blood flow and heart health
By Stephen Daniells
10/18/2007 - Extracts from French maritime pine bark may boost the body's production of nitric oxide - key to better blood flow and oxygen supply to muscles - suggests a new study.
The results of the new study, published in the October issue of the journal Hypertension Research, add to a growing body of research reporting potential health benefits of the pine bark extract, Pycnogenol.
"This study suggests that when taking Pycnogenol, more NO is provided in response to neurotransmitters allowing for better expansion of arteries to carry more blood. This process serves to meet the enhanced oxygen demand of the performing muscle and avoid anaerobic metabolism," said lead researcher Dr. Yukihito Higashi from the Hiroshima University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences in Japan.
Nitric oxide (NO) is a molecule used by the endothelium (cells lining the surface of blood vessels) to signal surrounding muscle to relax, leading to a reduction in blood pressure, reduced blood clotting and protection against myocardial infarction and strokes.
The researchers performed a double-blind, randomized, placebo study with 16 young, healthy men receiving either a daily pine bark extract (180 mg Pycnogenol) or placebo for two weeks. In order to identify the role of the extract on NO, the subjects were also infused with an inhibitor of the amino acid L-arginine was infused in patients, thereby causing a constriction of the arteries in response to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
After two weeks of intervention, supplementation Higashi and co-workers report that supplementation with the French maritime pine bark extracts was associated with a 42 per cent stimulation of blood flow after infusion of the inhibitor. No significant changes in blood flow was observed in the placebo group.....

tropical DHT blockers don't work as good as internal ones...otherwise everyone will be using them already.
Can you give me a link or a reference about nitric oxide being synthesized by DHT? I'm sorry, but I don't think that's true. To the best of my knowledge NO is produced by Nitric Oxide Synthase by converting L Arginine. I'm not much of a biochemist so please help me out but I don't understand how DHT plays a role here.philly said:
Secondly, your description of v**** is not quite correct. v**** destroys the complex (PDE5) that breaks down cGMP. This results in increased levels of cGMP for a longer period of time and cGMP is the mediator of smooth muscle relaxation. NO is certainly necessary for cGMP to be produced, but the drug v**** does not work at the NO stage of the process.

I too suffer from sexual sides would be interested in other opinions on this suppliment i'm thinking of trying it...

Well, I've been using L-Arginine - about 1 mg per day for 40 days - and I feel it has helped. It hasn't quite brought my libido back to the level I would like it to be, but I think it has helped. I think I might buy some of that NitrO2 stuff that philly mentioned in the first post.

N.O. is good for body building as well.
There is a pre-workout suppliment called NO XPLODE, its some good stuff for bodybuilding.

Yeah I don't understand the point of this post?
SOme people rely more on DHT than others for firm erections. For some people, testosterone is all they need. Witness me having firm erections while on Avodart, the best 5ar DHT inhibitor out there. 94% of my DHT is gone and i still can get it up.
other people report weak erections on dutasteride or inability to get one at all. this leads me tobelieve that these people rely more on finasteride. THese people would almost assuredly be able to get firm erections again if they took somthing like v**** or Cialis or Levitra.
No real need to delve into it further though. The three drugs I mentioned above work. Naturalist crap probably doesn't.

But I'd also like to see some real proof from you, philly, on the link between DHT and NO. Not saying it's not true, I don't know. But I'd like to see some studies.
