This is not another generic plant extract. Red Pine Needle Extract (松葉エキス原液) is a 100% pure concentrate derived from Pinus densiflora (赤松, Japanese red pine) needles, wild-harvested at altitudes above 600 meters in Mie Prefecture, Japan. The manufacturer — established in 1882 and HACCP-certified — uses a proprietary hot water extraction process that yields a dense, additive-free concentrate with Brix 73.9% and pH 4.2.
What makes this ingredient exceptional is its antioxidant profile. Independent testing shows SOD (Superoxide Dismutase) activity of 5.5×10⁴ units/α — roughly 5.1 times higher than standard comparison. Hydroxyl radical scavenging capacity is 6.6× and DPPH radical scavenging is 1.67× above baseline. The polyphenol content is approximately 1,000 times that of standard green tea, making it one of the most potent natural antioxidant concentrates available for formulation.
A clinical study with 25 participants (ages 30-60) consuming 2g/day for one month demonstrated statistically significant improvements: vascular age decreased by 2.08 years, peripheral vessel score improved by 6.48 points, arterial elasticity increased by 6.84 points, and residual blood volume improved by 9.64 points.
