Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The active compound in certified organic Horse Chestnut is aescin. At the cellular level, aescin acts as a potent vasoconstrictor and anti-inflammatory agent. It strengthens capillary walls by increasing the synthesis of collagen and mucopolysaccharides in the endothelial lining. This reduces the permeability of blood vessels, preventing fluid leakage into surrounding tissues. Consequently, it helps maintain proper blood flow and reduces venous pooling, which is often the root cause of swelling and discomfort in the legs.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy venous tone and circulation
- Reduces leg swelling and fluid retention
- Alleviates discomfort from varicose veins
- Promotes vascular integrity and capillary health
