TRU-PINE: Powerful Antioxidant Support During his second voyage to Canada in 1535- 36, French Explorer Jacques Cartier and his men sailed up the St. Lawrence River and spent the winter months in Stadacona (Que- bec City, Canada). He recorded in his journal that he and his men were given an extract pre- pared by the native people of Canada, made from the bark of a species of Northern Cana- dian pine growing along the coast. This con- coction helped to maintain their wellbeing after enduring a long harsh winter. After years of research with Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada, the original pine species used in the concoction given to Jacques Cartier was able to be retraced. TRU-PINE ® is extracted using a water ex- traction process. TRU-PINE is a powerful antioxidant extracted at 95 percent OPC. The formula contains large quantities of bioflavonoids and also contains vi- tamin C (rose hip). Antioxidants found in pine bark helps to fight free radicals in your body to help maintain good health. Pine bark has great anti-inflammatory properties that aids in reducing inflammation naturally. TRU-PINE is available in a 10.14 fluid ounce liquid format and is formulated without the use of al- cohol. It is naturally sweetened with Cana- dian maple syrup, which delivers a naturally delicious taste. TRU-PINE is available in capsules (60 capsules/bottle). TRU- PINE has also ventured into the pet supplement industry providing an ex- cellent source of antioxidant to help with the wellbeing of cats and dogs. TRU-PINE for pets is available in a capsules form (60 capsules/bottle), and can be found in many professional re- tailers across North America.
