The key ingredients in VEINSMART include: Diosmin,

ingredients has beneficial effects on vein health and treatment of
varicose veins, leg swelling, hemorrhoids, PMS and more...
Diosmin
Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside isolated from
various plants and the flavonoid hesperidin. Diosmin is a
vascularprotecting agent used to treat chronic venous insuficiency,
hemorrhoids, lymphedema, and varicose veins. Diosmin is also a powerful
antiinflammatory and free-radical scavenging agent. Diosmin should also
be used for dermatitis and wound healing.
Diosmin is derived by extracting hesperidin from citrus rinds, followed
by conversion of hesperidin to diosmin. Diosmin has been used for more
than 30 years as a vein tonic and vascularprotecting agent. It is now
being researched for cancer, premenstrual syndrome, colitis, and
diabetes.
Diosmin improves vein tone, increases lymphatic drainage, protects
capillaries, inhibits inflammation, and reduces capillary fragility and
permeability.
Diosmin and Varicose Veins/Chronic Venous Insufficiency
Chronic venous insufficiency is characterized by pain, leg heaviness, a
sensation of swelling and cramps, and is often seen in those with
varicose veins. A multicentre international trial involving 5,052 people
with chronic venous insufficiency evaluated Diosmin. Patients were
treated with 450 mg diosmin and 50 mg hesperidin daily for six months.
Continuous clinical improvement was found throughout the study, as well
as improvements in quality of life scores for participants.
Diosmin has also been effective in treating severe stages of chronic
venous insufficiency, including venous ulceration and delayed healing.
In a randomized multicentre trial, 900 mg diosmin and 100 mg hesperidin
was given to patients in the treatment group. Complete healing of ulcers
less than 10 cm in diameter was found.
Diosmin and Hemorrhoids
Several large clinical trials have demonstrated diosmin to be effective
in the treatment of acute and chronic symptoms of hemorrhoids. A
doubleblind, placebo-controlled study of 120 patients showed improvement
of pain, pruritis, discharge, edema, erythema, and bleeding on
examination. The treatment group was given diosmin and hesperidin for
two months. Elimination of acute and chronic hemorrhoids was successful.
Diosmin and Lymphedema
Diosmin acts on the lymphatic system by increasing lymph flow and lymph
oncotic pressure. Diosmin was used to treat upper limb lymphedema
secondary to conventional therapy for breast cancer. Results showed
improvement of symptoms and limb volume; the mean decrease in volume of
the swollen limb reached 6.8 percent.
There are no documented cases of adverse interactions between diosmin
and prescription medications.
Horse Chestnut
Horse Chestnut extract is used for the treatment of the symptoms of
venous insuffciency (including pain and heaviness in the legs), night
time cramps in the calves, and itchy, swollen legs; along with phlebitis
and varicose veins. It is also effective for hemorrhoids, skin
inflammation and premenstrual syndrome.
Aescin, the active ingredient in horse chestnut, tones the walls of the
veins, improving the flow of blood back to the heart. It also relieves
swelling by stopping excessive leakage through the walls of the
capillaries (the tiny vessels that deliver blood to the tissues).
Horse Chestnuts ability to relieve swelling in the legs has been
confirmed in several rigorous clinical trials where it proved to be as
effective as the uncomfortable compression stockings that are often
prescribed.
For example, a 1996 study involving 240 patients, reported that horse
chestnut seed extract (aescin, 50 mg twice a day) provided the same
relief from lower leg swelling (edema) as compression (support)
stockings.
An analysis of 13 clinical trials published in Archives of Dermatology
in 1998 found Horse chestnut extract was significantly better than a
placebo in relieving vein-related leg problems such as varicose veins.
Painful and inflamed hemorrhoids subside with the addition of horse
chestnut extract for the same reasons that the remedy is so effective
for varicose veins. By strengthening and toning the veins, as well as
actually lessening swelling and fluid retention in the body, the
hemorrhoida swollen vein itselfcan recede.
Butchers broom extract
Butchers broom (Ruscus aculeatus) has been shown in several clinical
trials to reduce varicose veins and hemorrhoids, and to treat the
itching and burning of hemorrhoids. It is also used to help treat lower
leg discomfort, including cramps, pain, itching and swelling, caused by
pooling of blood in the veins. Research has also evaluated the
combination of butchers broom along with hesperidin and horse chestnut
extract.
A 1994 review of the pharmacological studies indicated that butchers
broom extract exerts activity on the three levels of circulation
involved in chronic venous insufficiency. It acts on lymphatic drainage,
the constriction of blood vessels and microcirculation. When used in
combination with the other ingredients in VEINSMART, it also improves
the strength of veins and reduces permeability. Butchers broom has been
found to reduce blood pooling in the lower leg and also the size of the
ankle and lower leg. Butchers broom also reduces enlarged veins.
During a 2-month treatment period with butchers broom extract in a
randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving 60 patients
with CVI, a significant reduction in heavy legs, tired legs, evening
edema, pain, pruritus and cramps was seen. Reduction in average ankle
circumference for the treatment group compared to placebo was
significant at the end of the trial.
Butchers Broom and Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS)
In a randomized, double-blind trial, 40 women suffering PMS received
either butchers broom extract along with diosmin or placebo for 90
days. Breast pain (Mastalgia), menstrual pain and mood were
significantly improved in the treatment group compared to the placebo.
Hesperidin
Hesperidin is the main flavonoid in lemons and oranges. The peel and
membrane have the highest hesperidin concentrations. Th erefore, orange
juice containing pulp is richer in the flavonoid than that without pulp.
Sweet oranges (
Citrus sinensis) and tangelos are the richest
dietary sources of hesperidin. Hesperidin is classified as a citrus
bioflavonoid.
Hesperidin, in combination with diosmin, is used in Europe for the
treatment of venous insufficiency and hemorrhoids. Hesperidin reduces
the permeability of capillaries and is an anti-inflammatory. In
combination with diosmin, hesperidin has significantly improved acute
internal hemorrhoids of pregnancy in a clinical open trial.
