Pine Bark Extract may help asthma sufferers
Study shows active ingredient in Martin Nutraceuticals' Oxygenol helps asthma in young women.
14/06/05 2005 Martin Nutraceuticals Inc. references new research which suggests the active ingredient found in Martin Nutraceuticals' Oxygenol(tm), Pine Bark Extract may help young women suffering from asthma.
The rate of asthma continues to steadily increase world-wide, however young women may be particularly susceptible, according to a recent study presented to the American Thoracic Society by Swedish Researchers.
Dr. A.W. Martin DC, Ph.D., RNCP, DNM, Director of research at Martin Nutraceuticals, notes that there appears to be an all natural ingredient found in their proprietary formula Oxygenol(tm) that is showing tremendous promise in the treatment of asthma. In a double blind placebo study published in Nov/Dec 2004 issue of journal of asthma found that 60 children aged 6-18 were able to significantly reduce or discontinue their use of rescue inhalers with Pine Bark Extract, more specifically Pycnogenol(r), more often than the placebo group.
Martin's Oxygenol main active ingredient is a proprietary blend of pine bark that is even higher in anti-oxidant value than Pycnogenol.
"Pine Bark anti-inflammatory activity has impressed me time and time again and I am now confident in prescribing Oxygenol for my asthma patients," states Dr. Martin. Oxygenol combines the Pine Bark Extract with a high dose of all natural vitamin C and an enzyme to further the effectiveness of this product with the treatment of Asthma.
"Oxygenol(tm) is truly a fantastic product that shows great ancillary benefits with daily use. We are very excited about getting this wonderful product to the market place," continues Dr. Martin.
Dr. Martin is the author of the acclaimed book "Pycnogenol, the Bark with the Bite" and accomplished his Ph.D. thesis on Pycnogenol(r) and its effects on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
Oxygenol will be available at fine retail stores, shortly.
