Pine bark extract is a standardized phytochemical derived from Pinus pinaster bark, primarily containing oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). The core process involves solvent extraction followed by purification to ensure high purity. Key active markers include proanthocyanidins, though specific molecular formulas vary by fraction; CAS numbers typically reference the crude extract or specific fractions like 84650-06-6.
Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C away from direct light. Clinical use requires monitoring for potential interactions with anticoagulants. Industrial handling mandates PPE due to fine particulate inhalation risks.
