Maritime pine trees grow in countries on the Mediterranean Sea. Its use dates back to the 1500s when French explorer Jacques Cartier and his sailors struggled with scurvy – a severe vitamin C deficiency – during their long sailing voyages from France to the New World. The story goes that First Nations tribes shared their ancestral wisdom with Cartier and used the local pine tree bark as a decoction (herbal tea) to treat scurvy. Today, we know that pine bark is an even better source of vitamin C (the cure for scurvy) than oranges, has numerous beneficial phytochemicals, and natural plant compounds that support better health. The “all-stars” of the group are proanthocyanidins, and powerful antioxidant compounds (more potent than Vitamin C and E) that provide a wealth of added health benefits.
