The horse chestnut extract in Venotone has been standardized and concentrated to ensure the highest quality, consistency and biological activity. Sustained release provides continuous activity while minimizing possible gastric irritation.
Horse chestnut demonstrates a variety of effects: anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-edema, venotonic, and vasoprotective ( protective of vessels and ducts) actions.
Published studies show alleviation of subjective symptoms of venous insufficiency such as pain, tiredness, tension or heaviness in the legs. The therapeutic objective in managing venous insufficiency is treating it at an early stage to prevent dangerous and expensive complications.
The active ingredient is escin. Pharmaceutical grade extracts contain between 16 and 20 percent escin.
The dose used in studies is 50 mg. of escin taken twice per day. This dose is provided by one 250 tablet of standardised 20 % escin in two Venotone capsules, taken every twelve hours.
Note: research shows that effectiveness increases over the first 6 to 12 weeks of continuous use.
