Absonutrix French Maritime Pine Bark Extract 590 mg, 4 Fl Oz Drops - 200 Servings, Bioavailability, Easy-to-Consume, Cruelty-Free, Vegetarian, Third-Party Tested, Non-GMO, Made in USA

Large bottle, much larger than expected - almost the same height as a pint container of half & half! Strong taste but not sweet, which I'm happy about. Seems strong and potent. I find I have to shake it to dissolve occasional tiny particles or what may be sediment. It's easier to take when diluted in water. I'm using this in lieu of the baby aspirin my doctor wants me to take every day, or every other day. I don't like the additives in aspirin or what aspirin does to my liver and I've ben reading about other problems that aspirin creates. I read an article by two doctors about tests showing how French maritime bark or pycnogenol gives the same or even more anti-plaque, heart protective benefits without the side effects of aspirin, and that the effectiveness of aspirin in preventing plaque and coronary artery disease is questionable. I took a different brand of French maritime bark for about a year but when I ran out, I found the brand I liked was discontinued, so I found this. It's a good value for its size and when I see some test results from my cardiologist, I'll see if there's any improvement or difference and will update my review. I saw another review that discounted the product because of its "repulsive" taste. It's somewhat bitter but that's because it's pine bark and not a Creamsicle. If you're looking for a genuine French maritime pine bark extract, supposedly the type with the most healing and anti-inflammatory properties, beware of the species - you want Pinus pinaster. I saw another product being sold that was made from Pinus strobus, which is a species that is known to wildly overgrow and be subject to rot and fungus. Imagine some outfit making a supplement out of one of those crops. I'm sure things like that happen in the supplement and herb industry. I'm not a big fan of the FDA, but supplements aren't regulated so buyer beware. Pycnogenol is the trade name for Pinus pinaster, the real French maritime pine bark, and this product is Pinus pinaster.

I take this internally and put in my home made face moisturizer. The dropper gets clogged up sometimes but you know that is the real deal. Will be purchasing again

I do not recommend buying this product. it is full of pine bark fragments.

Its like someone mixed water alcohol and some grainy bark powder. Dropper clogs.Bark mud. Not impressed.

Surprising how well I feel it worked to help with energy & brain fog when I use it right after Lion’s Mane, but also surprising the amount of “natural” pieces are suspended in this stuff. Chunks were getting caught in the dropper. I started wondering if perhaps I was given a bottle that went bad, but I do see a few reviews about “sediment”.

I've used FMB for years.I just received this,so obviously I can't speak to results just yet.But I know the taste of pine bark,and this is it!It's bitter,the way it's supposed to be.I'm not looking for a cocktail;however.

I've never taken a pine bark supplement, but was interested in the positive immune system boost.Unfortunately this product triggered an allergic reaction and gave me an asthma attack shortly after my first dose. I've never specifically been tested for a pine allergy but it's quite possible since I do have other pollen and tree allergies.The product itself is dark brown, very thick and syrupy, and looks like particles in a suspension. So be sure to empty the dropper and shake well before squeezing up your dose.So I can't really say whether or not I think this might help your immunity because I only took it one time. I will try giving it to a family member to sample and see if they can give me any additional feedback.

Product arrived with excellent packaging and non-leaking bottle with an extra gift! Good job!
