Proanthocyanidin is a polyphenolic compound that is extracted from grape seeds. It is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and vasodilating properties. It helps to dilate the constricted blood veins to reduce the tension on the blood vessels to restore normal blood flow. This is how it works to treat the symptoms of varicose veins such as itching, heaviness, swelling, and pain.
Each capsule contains Proanthocyanidins 50 mg extracted from French maritime pine bark, standardized to 65% to 75% of procyanidins.
French maritime pine bark extract is made by extraction of the outer bark of Pinus pinaster. Recent research suggests significant antioxidant activity is primarily based on its proanthocyanidin content. Proanthocyanidins prevent the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, protect the DNA from free-radical damage, prevent stress-related blood clotting without increasing bleeding risk, increase nitric oxide synthesis leading to vasodilation, have profound anti-inflammatory activity, protect the skin from sun damage, dramatically improve wound healing while decreasing scarring, boosts many aspects of immune system function, and also lowers blood sugar while stimulating fat tissue breakdown.
Generally, one capsule (50 mg) 2 times daily with meals for 2-3 months or as directed by the physician. A repeated course or long-term use is acceptable.
