PHLEBOTONIC
Phlebotonic refers to a category of drugs or supplements that are used to improve the health of blood vessels and prevent or treat conditions related to poor blood circulation. These products aim to strengthen the walls of blood vessels and reduce inflammation, thereby improving blood flow and preventing the development of conditions such as varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and chronic venous insufficiency.
Phlebotonics work by promoting the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential proteins for maintaining the elasticity and integrity of blood vessel walls. They also have antioxidant properties that help reduce oxidative stress and protect the blood vessels from damage caused by free radicals.
Phlebotonics are available in various forms, including tablets, creams, gels, and ointments. They often contain natural ingredients such as horse chestnut extract, grape seed extract, butcher’s broom, and Centella asiatica. These products are commonly used in combination with lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise and a healthy diet, to optimize vascular health and reduce the risk of associated complications.
