  • 1.⁠ ⁠Synergistic Antioxidant Activity

    • Pine bark extract neutralizes free radicals and protects cells from oxidative stress.

    • It enhances the activity of other antioxidants in VigourCells, such as vitamins C and E, by regenerating and stabilising them, ensuring they remain active longer.

    2.⁠ ⁠Improves Circulation

    • Pine bark extract promotes nitric oxide (NO) production, which relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow. This boosts the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to tissues, supporting the overall effectiveness of other ingredients in VigourCells.

    3.⁠ ⁠Anti-Inflammatory Properties

    • Proanthocyanidins in pine bark extract reduce inflammation by modulating pathways such as NF-kB and COX-2. This complements the anti-inflammatory effects of alpha-lipoic acid and other components in VigourCells.

    4.⁠ ⁠Supports Collagen and Skin Health

    • Pine bark extract strengthens collagen and elastin in the skin and connective tissues, reducing oxidative damage. This works well alongside vitamin C, a co-factor in collagen synthesis, improving skin, joint, and vascular health.

    5.⁠ ⁠Enhances Glutathione Production

    • Pine bark extract has been shown to stimulate endogenous glutathione levels, boosting one of the key antioxidants in the network.

    6.⁠ ⁠Protects Brain and Heart

    • The extract provides neuroprotection by reducing oxidative damage in neurons and enhancing cognitive function. It also supports cardiovascular health by lowering LDL oxidation, working synergistically with CoQ10 and vitamin E in VigourCells.

    7.⁠ ⁠Blood Sugar Support

    • Pine bark extract may improve insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, helping stabilise blood sugar. This complements chromium and other ingredients in VigourCells that support metabolic health.

    8.⁠ ⁠Anti-Aging Benefits

    • By reducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and glycation (a key factor in aging), pine bark extract enhances the longevity-promoting properties of the network antioxidants in VigourCells.

    9.⁠ ⁠Helps recycles the network antioxidants and keep them active for a longer period of time.

  • French Maritime Pine Bark contains natural ingredients and antioxidants that are sensitive to heat and humidity.

    Best stored in the refrigerator in Singapore’s hot, humid climate. Keep tightly sealed and away from direct sunlight.

    Natural antioxidants are sensitive to heat, humidity, and moisture, especially in hot tropical countries like Singapore.

    VigourCells and PineBark should therefore always be kept refrigerated before and after opening to preserve their freshness, stability, and potency.

    The bedroom and kitchen shelves are simply not cool enough and it is not about whether the bottles are open or not, as it is not a contamination with microbes but an oxidation concern with free radicals, heat and moisture.

    This means straight into the refrigerator after getting them especially if you do not intend to eat them yet.

    This is not about preventing bacterial growth like with food products, but about protecting delicate active ingredients from degradation.

    Product contamination (like food going mouldy or bad) is not the same as supplements getting oxidised through heat, humidity and moisture.

    All goods sold are not refundable or exchangeable once they leave the shop.

No question is too difficult.
