Written by Keely Puchalski, ND. Results from this study demonstrated that a single 400 mg dose of New Zealand pine bark extract (Enzogenol®) significantly reduced postprandial blood glucose levels in healthy adults after a 75 g sucrose challenge. Though effects were modest, reductions in blood glucose and area under the curve (iAUC) were significant compared to placebo at 90 and 120 minutes, suggesting improved glycemic responses. The 50 mg dose showed a minor but significant reduction in peak blood glucose compared to control, and no adverse events were reported in either group.
