Pycnogenol does feel mildly noradrenergic and dopaminergic. Definitely not serotonergic.
Question though, I am not up to speed on this, what is a COMT inhibitor? I've heard it mentioned a few other times, but I don't know what COMT is or what a COMT inhibitor does.
???> I know that quercetin, which might be similar, i think is a COMT inhibitor, meaning increased norepinephrine. Maybe Pycnogenol is also a COMT inhibitor.
