Technical Details & Test Data

Efficacy Studies & Results: In published literature studies Horse Chestnut extract is reported to be beneficial to health in the following ways:

Actives such as escin inhibit enzymes including collagenase, hyaluronidase, beta-glucuronidase, and elastase that catalyze the break down of the structural integrity of the veins and increase capillary permeability.

Clinically proven to be beneficial to people suffering from varicose veins, spider veins, hemorrhoids and related circulatory problems or "chronic venous insufficiency" (CVI).

In clinical studies, escin preparations have been successfully applied in the first stage of edema in cases of cellulitis of the thighs and breasts.
