Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This Pine Bark Extract fully meets my expectations. It comes in a well sealed protective bag (shown), the powder is very fine and easy to mix with other things, and the effects it has on my body are very good. 1. I ordered the 100g bag, the bag is resealable. I'm very happy to find Pine Bark Extract (PBE) affordable enough for me to buy. I have taken Pycnogenol in capsule form and have experienced varied results. However, I take a 1/4 teaspoon of this powdered PBE in the early morning (between 5:30 and 6:30) and I feel the results well into the late afternoon during a full day of studying and moving about. I would like to note that 1/4 teaspoon(751mg) of powdered PBE is equal to about 7-8 100mg capsules. If you take 7-8 capsules a day you will have run through a bottle of 300 in about 43-48 days respectively. An excellent deal for a bottle of 300 100mg capsules runs for about $20 on Nutrivera.com as a special. Total amount of grams in a 300 count bottle of 100mg capsules is 30,000mg or 30 grams priced at about $20 (rare deal for PBE as of this posting). Compare this to 100 grams @ $13.96! That's 3.33 times the amount for about 73% of the price! What that means is that it lasts more than 3 times as long and you spend less money. 2. Enough of the math. My overall all quality of life has improved by taking Pine Bark Extract in general. In particular my life has been improved in that my energy lasts much longer and my focus has improved significantly since I began taking 1/4 teaspoon every morning in a spoon full of yogurt. I have since decreased my daily intake of PBE to about 1/8 because my body no longer needs that large of an amount unless preparing for an extraordinary day. 3. Using this every day is very easy to do. It does not, however, mix well with water or other simple liquids unless you mix it in really well and drink it down quickly because it settles on the bottom if you let it. I prefer taking it with yogurt, others take it with applesauce. The taste is not "bad", it's just not pleasant because pure Pine Bark does not have the best taste. Also I would suggest either taking this with some food or after you have eaten breakfast so that your stomach will process it well. 4. Apart from everything else, if you cannot take powder, it would be possible to encapsulate your own with this powder and still save money. I hope my review has helped you, have a wonderful day.
