Pine Lingonberry

Our pine bark extract is sourced from the bark of pine trees in the forests of northern Finland and contains a unique combination of bioactive ingredients that are believed to support the overall well-being and health of the body in many ways. Our pine bark extract is produced using a cold processing method, which preserves the highest possible quality and broadest bioactivity of the nutrients. Furthermore, the impurities in our extract are less than 10% of the levels found in extracts from other countries. The extreme purity of our products is ensured by sourcing raw materials from the forests of Finnish Lapland, north of the Arctic Circle. The purity of Finnish Lapland is reflected, for example, in the lead content of the soil; in Lapland, the lead content in the soil is less than 15 mg per kilogram, while in Central Europe, the typical level is 20-40 mg per kilogram.

Blueberries growing in the harsh conditions of northern forests produce polyphenolic compounds in their berries particularly efficiently.
This is partly due to the bright northern summer, but also to the difficult growing conditions. In the northern arctic forests, the plants grow completely wild in a pristine environment. The combination of long, harsh winters with the permanent sunlight of the summer growing season enriches the plants with additional antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Lingonberry is a rich source of polyphenolic compounds.
It is known for its antioxidant, cell-protective and anti-inflammatory effects. In addition, lingonberries improve metabolism and cardiovascular function. Recent studies also show that lingonberries have a positive effect on gut health and the microbiome and can promote liver, gallbladder and stomach function. The antibiotic substances present in lingonberries help prevent kidney and urinary tract infections. According to a doctoral dissertation conducted at the University of Helsinki in 2019 (Anne Kivimäki, University of Helsinki), lingonberry juice reduced high blood pressure and improved the function of impaired blood vessels. Lingonberry juice also inhibited the expression of genes associated with low-grade inflammation in the arteries.
