This pine bark stuff has helped reduce my psoriasis. I gave a 4 month supply to my brother to help with his arthritis and he reported back to me that it almost "cured" his psoriasis.

When I was in the hospital for 60 days and could not take my supplements, my psoriasis can back with a vengence. It took about 3 months before I noticed it was almost totally gone after I again started taking the bark stuff(Pycnogenol) 100mg AM & PM. I did not know untill yesterday which supplement was responsible for the improvement.

The pine bark stuff(Pycnogenol) also loweres MMP-9s levels and thus reduces MS damage.
