I wouldn't recommend taking Pine Bark Extract if you are
allergic to it. I have had an allergy to Pine Bark for 20 years and
unknowingly took a supplement that included Pine Bark. I took two
capsules of the supplement and the next day immediately broke out
in hives. The hives lasted for about four weeks.
It has something to do with the Immune System - causing it to
work overtime and create the hives for no reason.
