What is Pine Bark Extract? Pine bark extract comes from the bark of the Pinus massoniana evergreen tree.

History of Pine Bark Extract  This bark extract has been around for about 450 years. In 1534, a French ship led by the famous explorer Jacques Cartier became stranded in ice near Quebec, Canada. The crew fell extremely ill from scurvy, an extreme lack of vitamin C. Cartier’s crew crossed paths with a Quebec Indian who encouraged them to drink a tea made from pine bark and needles.

Four hundred years later, a French researcher named Jacques Masquelier did some studies to understand why this natural remedy was so effective.
