Nutra-Life Horse Chestnut 2000 Complex provides 2000mg of horse chestnut seed, a herb traditionally used to assist circulation and maintenance of veins, arteries and small capillaries. Horse chestnut reduces capillary fragility by reducing the number and size of the small pores in the capillary walls. This helps to improve lower limb swelling as reported in clinical trials.
There is strong supportive scientific evidence for the use of horse chestnut seed in the treatment of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Common signs and symtpoms of CVI include leg swelling, varicose veins, leg pain, itching, and skin ulcers.
Nutra-Life Horse Chestnut 2000 Complex also contains Ginkgo biloba and Gotu kola, known to benefit blood circulation, particularly to the extremities such as hands, legs and feet. Butchers Broom and Bilberry help protect discomfort in the legs. Together with vitamin C and bioflavonoids, Nutre-Life Horse Chestnut 2000 Complex provides antioxidant protection against venous fragility.
