健康起源 - 碧蘿芷，100 毫克

IDK if I was always allergic or this just developed but product is not returnable so I'm stuck with wasted money. I stopped all supplements and started them again one at a time and that's how I discovered that I seem to be allergic to this - not rash/hives, but congestion and goopy eyes. Plus, I noticed the color is different now - was a powdery orangy color - now a very definitive orange-red. Perhaps something to do with higher dose? but this could be why I have issues with it now.

Great value for the price

I used to take pycnogenol religiously but stopped 3 years ago because I felt I no longer needed it. Fast forward 6 months or so and I started feeling really bad every day. Muscle stiffness, fatigue, terrible allergies, spiking blood sugar levels. After about 2 years of feeling lousy and Doctors telling me there was nothing wrong that they could determine, I did some mental detective work to try and determine what had changed. Through process of elimination I finally figured out that I started feeling terrible shortly after I stopped taking the pycnogenol. I’ve since started back taking the Healthy Origins brand and after only 2 weeks the stiffness and swelling in my ankles and lower legs has significantly improved. Also I have much more energy and can exercise longer without feeling exhausted and in pain. Circulation in my body is improving and I’m starting to feel healthy again. I will never stop taking pycnogenol again!

This looks just as pycnogenol should look with that pinkish color. Another brand I got on Amazon was brown and just didn't seem to be effective at all

That's the only reason I tried it. I've been at it for three weeks and I have noticed no improvement. Will finish the bottle, and not reorder. If things change I'll amend my review.
