Product Information

The botanicals and flavonoids in Venocap have collagen-strengthening and astringent (contracts and tightens blood vessels and body tissue) actions that support venous tone.* The botanicals gotu kola, horse chestnut, witch hazel, and butcher's broom all have important astringent properties.* The flavonoids diosmin and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) help stabilize collagen to help keep veins strong and supple.*

Centella asiatica (gotu kola) contains important constituents (particularly asiaticosides) that have been found to support the integrity of the sheath surrounding the vein and enhance upward blood flow.* Aesculus hippocastanum (horse chestnut) has important constituents for supporting venous functioning.* Studies have found that decreases in lower leg volume with extracts of horse chestnut are comparable to those achieved with support stockings.* Hamamelis virginiana (witch hazel) has a long history of folk use for vein support due to its important astringent qualities, resulting in vasoconstriction.* OPCs help to strengthen connective tissues and have a particular affinity for the supportive structures of blood vessels.* The active ingredients, ruscogenins, in Ruscus aculeatus (butcher's broom) have been found to enhance venous integrity by their astringent properties.* Diosmin, a flavonoid derived from hesperidin, supports venous tone by protecting the vessel wall.* Diosmin also has demonstrated antioxidant activity.*

Venocap is an effective combination of flavonoids and botanicals shown to support venous tone.*
