Gene's NO stack: Pycnogenol vs. "Pine Bark Extract"

[Someguy]

Has anyone tried Bulk Supplements Pine Bark Extract powder in place of the Pycnogenol in the NO stack? What were the results. I've seen a lot of back and forth here and elsewhere over how it's a slightly different ingredient. Is it still effective? If so, and even if I had to take twice as much Pine Bark Extract as Pycnogenol it would still be much cheaper.

Can anyone share there experience? Does Pine Bark Extract do the job just as well?

You have to consider the active ingredient they are not all the same, you're looking for French Maritime Pine Bark, Pinus maritima tree. While they may be similar or even the same, I would stick to Pycnogenolol.

I purchased this. I see vascularization when I take it. "Pycogenol" is just a brand name of processed French maritime pine bark. If you want a bottle PM me. $4 plus postage. I bought three and got 9. I open the caps to add to my shake. Appears to be nothing added to the finely milled bark.
