Pycnogenol
A surprising use of OPC has arisen among people suffering from that bewildering disorder in concentration and attention known as attention deficit disorder (ADD), or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). It is said to have begun quite accidentally when people with ADD took OPC for another purpose, such as allergies, and noticed an improvement in concentration and mental focus, classic symptoms of attention deficit. Others started using it. Word spread, and the ADD remedy has achieved high visibility on the Internet and at natural products trade shows.
