Forget acai and goji berries, there’s a more powerful antioxidant that isn’t being commonly discussed; Pycnogenol®. Not only does Pycnogenol® fight jet lag, but with being nature’s super antioxidant it is key to dehydration recovery, combating physical fatigue, and is a natural flu fighter.
 
Pycnogenol® (pic-noj-en-all), an extract of the bark of Pinus pinaster, is a high quality premium ingredient. With over 40 years of research, it is a tried and tested formula with a unique blend of natural and powerful antioxidants, and the key ingredient for 1Above products.
 
Through extensive research, it has been proven that Pycnogenol® reduces the length of jet lag by 53.8% and severity by an average of 61.5% after 24 hours1. The research project involved two studies with 68 travellers in the first group and 65 in the second. The first study had travellers taking Pycnogenol® supplements and reported taking 18.2 hours to recover versus 39.3 hours in the control group who took no Pycnogenol®.
 
1Above® combines Pycnogenol® with 6 electrolytes to combat the dehydration and 67-133% of your daily Vitamin B needs. B Vitamins are vital to your body’s natural ability to produce energy and may be missing from any persons diet.
 
Next time you’re in need of a quick energy boost and lasting hydration, no matter what the occasion, skip the sports and energy drinks, look to 1Above®.
