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.
Our Active Magnesium™ formulas combine 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.
Whether you choose Active Magnesium™ Glycinate or Active Magnesium™ Citrate, you’ll benefit from the same premium French maritime pine bark extract, sourced from the forests of southwest France.
"From the Larnes Forest in France to our finished formulations, every step is guided by quality, traceability and care."
