The study compared two groups: one receiving standard management (SM) and another receiving SM plus 150 mg\/day of Pycnogenol\u00ae for 4 weeks. The results showed that Pycnogenol\u00ae supplementation significantly improved limb sensations, normalized resting flux, improved venoarteriolar response, reduced the need for pain management, and decreased oxidative stress and minimal edema. The study concluded that Pycnogenol\u00ae prevents or relieves RLS symptoms and positively affects the venoarteriolar response, suggesting its potential role in managing this syndrome and related subclinical muscular and neurological alterations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35815767\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35815767\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The study evaluated the preventive efficacy of Pycnogenol\u00ae (French maritime pine bark extract) in otherwise healthy subjects with restless legs syndrome (RLS).
