HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Pycnogenol 100 mg by GNC Preventive Nutrition
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This single-ingredient capsule contains 100 mg of Pycnogenol, a standardized extract from maritime pine bark. The inactive ingredients are cellulose, gelatin, titanium dioxide, and chlorophyll—typical capsule materials and colorants.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
The research behind Pycnogenol shows mixed results. It's rated possibly effective for osteoarthritis and chronic venous insufficiency (swelling and discomfort in the legs from poor blood flow back to the heart), and possibly effective for asthma.
However, for high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), the evidence suggests it's probably not effective.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Maritime pine bark extract is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data is limited. The most common side effects reported orally are gastrointestinal complaints, dizziness, and vertigo; headache has appeared in one trial.
A single case of chest pain and one report of worsening heart failure were noted, but both patients had serious heart history, and it's unclear whether the extract was the cause. During pregnancy, there isn't enough safety data, so the evidence advises against use.
The same applies to breastfeeding—safety information is not on file. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether this is right for you if you're pregnant, planning pregnancy, or nursing.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before taking this product, check with your doctor or pharmacist if you're on blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs (such as warfarin or aspirin)—Pycnogenol may increase bleeding risk. Also flag it if you take diabetes medications or immunosuppressants, since the extract may lower blood sugar or interfere with immune control.
No interactions are documented for other medication types covered by our data.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
Pycnogenol may be worth considering if you have osteoarthritis, leg swelling from poor circulation, or asthma, since the research suggests possible benefit. However, if you take blood thinners, diabetes drugs, or immune-suppressing medications, you'll need to clear this with your own doctor or pharmacist first—the interactions are documented and may require monitoring or dose changes.
Start a conversation with your healthcare provider about whether this supplement fits your situation.

Pycnogenol 100 mg by GNC Preventive Nutrition Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
GNC Preventive Nutrition's Pycnogenol contains maritime pine bark extract, which has documented interactions with blood thinners and antiplatelet drugs (Moderate severity), immune-suppressing medications (Moderate severity), and diabetes drugs (Moderate severity).
The most serious concern is with blood thinners like warfarin or aspirin—the extract may increase bleeding risk by inhibiting how platelets clump together, though the real-world significance remains unclear.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
If you take immunosuppressants (such as those used after organ transplant), the extract's immune-stimulating activity in lab and animal studies suggests it might reduce their effectiveness, but this hasn't been confirmed in humans. With diabetes medications, one clinical study showed the extract lowered blood sugar in patients already on these drugs—a potential benefit, but one that means you'll need close monitoring of your glucose levels and possibly a dose adjustment from your doctor.
Altogether, these interactions span 327 individual medications. Use the medication checker on this page to look up your exact prescriptions before you start.
