The study found that Pycnogenol helped lower symptoms of jetlag, including fatigue, headaches, insomnia, and brain swelling in both healthy individuals as well as those with high blood pressure.

This helps backs the AMA's (American Medical Association) recommendation in 2002 that all adults should take a multivitamin daily because of "the known and suspected benefits" of certain supplemental vitamins "in preventing cardiovascular disease, cancer, and osteoporosis" (quoted from source). Its great to see that physicians and healthcare professionals are finally starting to come to a consensus regarding the health benefits of taking certain dietary supplements, and that preventative nutritional measures are becoming more mainstream in today's healthcare system.
