Why Pine Bark

Why Pine Bark?

There is no magic bullet that can provide modern Kiwis with complete wellness. HUMANATURE®, understand this. We don’t have a magic pill that can singlehandedly solve the wellbeing riddle. We have used science to support the use of our core ingredient, Enzogenol®. ENZO, has had many years of clinical trials and we have recorded the science and the stories of some of lovely people we have helped.

Anti-oxidants and Flavonoids from NZ Pine Bark has been processed using a pure water extraction process to help it be bio-available to every body. Their stories range from assisting people, with hayfever, increasing energy, or helping slow down the oxidation processes that can potentially cause so much damage on the inside of our bodies.

HUMANATURE® currently offers four supplements, I Need to Chill Out, Make Me Feel Smarter, Get My Guts Sorted, and a Professional Strength Formula. All varietals contain the active ingredient, Enzogenol®, a product extracted from pure New Zealand pine bark that has been ground breaking in the way it helps the body to function at its absolute best. Enzogenol®, is likely the most clinically tested natural health product produced in New Zealand.

Enzogenol® works by supporting brain performance, promoting vascular health, and at the same time boosting your gut health. With effective and efficient brain function, good healthy circulation and great balanced gut function, you are setting the dominoes in motion for a better, healthier you.

Enzogenol® is rich in natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory plant compounds known as bioflavonoids. These compounds play an important part in a healthy diet. Clinical trials on Enzogenol® have shown how it supports healthy blood vessels, circulation, blood pressure, eye sight, and brain function with improved working memory, concentration and reduced cognitive problems.

Who We Are

A New Zealand natural brand with a long history in the industry, HUMANATURE® is a the next step in a family business committed to one idea: to make Every Body better.

The formulations have been based on supporting people with recovery from illness, Gut issues, Traumatic Brain Injury, ADHD or Anxiety and have evolved in to being part of an everyday wellness plan, helping to support them when they are well and want to stay that way.

HUMANATURE®’s original founders, Mike and Barry Giles, recognized the potential of Enzogenol® to change people’s lives. They were the first to try it, and both experienced extraordinary health benefits, when Enzogenol® was first developed on a laboratory scale in the mid 1990’s at Canterbury University. A multi-disciplined team at the University developed the pure water extraction process that gave rise to this wonderful health product. This method allows HUMANATURE® to extract Enzogenol® from the pine bark using only pure water without any chemicals or solvents. The combination of our New Zealand grown radiata pine bark and the patented water-only extraction method is what makes Enzogenol® a truly natural, unique and very powerful health product, stronger than any other pine extracts in the world. As part of Enzogenol®’s stringent manufacturing process, every batch undergoes intensive quality checks to guarantee the activity and purity of the extract.
Over the past fifteen years of research, the health benefits of Enzogenol® have been clinically tested by various universities and independent research institutes. Numerous peer-reviewed scientific articles resulted in a substantial evidence base that supports the efficacy of the HUMANATURE® products.

HUMANATURE’s commitment to ecological sustainability

Ecological sustainable production of our core ingredient Enzogenol® pine bark extract has been a top priority for HUMANATURE®. This policy has been part of our parent company philosophy, since it was founded in 1998.

The production process was developed with the environment in mind. The choice of pure water as the only solvent in the process greatly minimises the impact on the environment inherent in other organic solvent-based processes.
The production process uses no chemicals, only pine bark and water enter the process. The process creates no environmentally harmful wastes. Instead, it only leaves water and a fine bark mulch behind, which is in turn used for gardens or as floor covering in stables.

The use of New Zealand pine bark as the raw material source for HUMANATURE® has no negative impact on the environment since the bark is a byproduct of the timber industry. Furthermore, starting with this forestry byproduct, we produce a high value, and more importantly, health promoting 100% natural food and supplement ingredient.

HUMANATURE® is proud to be a great sustainable product, that has improved many peoples lives through improving their health, with a very minimal environmental impact that guarantees this products sustainability for many generations.
