When it comes to creating effective food supplements, quality begins long before the ingredients reach the finished product. At New Nordic, every ingredient is carefully selected, and one of the standout botanicals used across several of our formulas is French maritime pine bark.
Sourced from the Larnes Forest near Bordeaux, France, our maritime pine bark is chosen for its exceptional quality and purity. In fact, New Nordic Founder & CEO Karl Kristian Bergman and Magic Magnesium™ creator François Moesgaard personally visit the forest to oversee the sourcing and quality of this proprietary extract, ensuring it meets the high standards our customers expect.
What Is French Maritime Pine Bark?
French maritime pine bark is a natural botanical extract derived from the bark of the Pinus pinaster tree. Rich in naturally occurring plant compounds, it has been used for decades in premium food supplements.
At New Nordic, we include maritime pine bark because of its ability to improve microcirculation by increasing capillary permeability. Better microcirculation helps support the body’s natural transport of nutrients and oxygen throughout the body, making it an ideal companion ingredient in several of our formulations.

Why Does New Nordic Use Maritime Pine Bark?
Rather than relying on single ingredients alone, New Nordic develops formulations where carefully selected nutrients work together.
French maritime pine bark complements other active ingredients by supporting healthy circulation and nutrient delivery. This philosophy is central to many of our Scandinavian-inspired formulas, combining scientifically researched ingredients that work in harmony.
By sourcing directly from the Larnes Forest, we’re able to maintain consistency, quality and traceability from forest to finished supplement.
Featured in the Magic Magnesium™ Range
One of the best-known examples is our Magic Magnesium™ range.
Every formula combines a specific form of highly absorbable magnesium with French maritime pine bark, alongside carefully selected vitamins including vitamin D and B vitamins. The maritime pine bark helps improve microcirculation, complementing the body’s natural nutrient distribution processes, making the formulas unlike standard magnesium supplements.

Containing a blend of botanicals, vitamins, minerals and innovative longevity ingredients, the addition of maritime pine bark complements the formula by supporting healthy microcirculation as part of its all-round approach to everyday vitality and wellbeing. This reflects New Nordic’s belief that carefully chosen ingredients deliver the best results when they work together rather than in isolation.
