Why These Natural Ingredients?
Support for the Four Structural Layers of the Vein:
Butchers Broom Extract
Functions as a vasoconstricting agent through the alpha-adrenergic
receptors, Butchers Broom extracts have also been shown to inhibit elastase,
an enzyme involved in the decreased tone of veins.
Horsechestnut Extracts
Extracts of Horsechestnut seeds have anti-inflammatory,
antiedema, antiexudative and venotonic activity, much of which has been
known since the early 1960’s. For venous insufficiencies, several studies
showed near-immediate changes in symptoms and direct measurements, including
improvements in venous tone, decreases in capillary filtration rate,
tissue volume of the foot and a reduction of the blood volume in the
lower leg.
Gotu Kola Leaves
Like Horsechestnut, Gotu Kola extracts inhibit many factors
associated with venous disorders. Studies credit Gotu Kola for increased
vessel tone, decreased capillary permeability and improved microcirculation.
Troxerutin
While the complete mechanism is not fully understood, Troxerutins
are reported to have both antierythrocyte aggregation effects and a favorable
effect on fibrinolytic activity.
