Horse Chestnut Seed Extract
for Varicose Veins
Standardised horse chestnut seed extract (HCSE) supplement containing 100–150mg aescin daily for chronic venous insufficiency.
How it works
Aescin, the active compound, reduces vascular permeability, inhibits enzymes that break down vein wall proteins and has anti-inflammatory effects on venous tissue.
What to watch for
Use standardised extracts only. Do not consume raw horse chestnut — it is toxic. May interact with blood thinners. Consult your doctor if on anticoagulants.
