Based on the previous discussion, administration of antioxidants or Nrf2 inducers are potential viable therapies for viral-induced diseases, like respiratory infections and infections associated with reduced cellular antioxidant capacity (Komaravelli and Casola, 2014)
1 Introduction There are many pine bark extracts on the market, from different pine tree species, from different countries and with different levels of efficacy for human health ( French maritime pine bark extract (Horphag Research) is the most researched pine bark extract with over 450 published studies and over 160 human clinical trials, including over 12.000 subjects ( The French maritime pine trees that are used for Pycnogenol grow in Les Landes de Gascogne, along the coast of southwest France ( Pycnogenol was found to contain mainly procyanidins, their monomers catechin and epicatechin, taxifolin as well as phenolic acids ( is standardized to 70 5% and thus meets the specifications for maritime pine extract, described in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) ( , taxifolin, catechin, caffeic acid, ferulic acid and metabolite 1 [-(3,4-dihydroxy-phenyl)--valerolactone] have been detected in the blood plasma of volunteers ( Clinical research on Pycnogenol started over 40 years ago and various health benefits of Pycnogenol have been observed and investigated
GHRP-2 appears to be a selective opioid receptor agonist, binding uniquely to the receptors implicated in pain perception, reward system linking, and sedation
