It is a nutrient-rich extract that is high in antioxidants such as proanthocyanidins, catechins and phenolic acids. It has been used in both traditional and clinical medicine to treat a number of metabolic conditions, but with very little scientific research behind it. The most comprehensive review of clinical trials to date failed to find any significant benefits to using the supplement. Similarly, pine bark extract does not seem to have much of an effect on testosterone, if any at all. There are no human trials available where the supplement was used in isolation - instead it was combined with nutrients such as D-aspartic acid which have been found to improve T levels in more robust studies. At present, we suggest that you avoid this supplement and consider a testosterone booster with a stronger scientific portfolio."}
