Why you need it

Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is one of the most extensively researched and widely used herbs in European phytomedicine for circulatory and venous health. It is one of the most commonly recommended botanical treatments for chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) — a condition characterised by poor venous return from the legs, leading to heaviness, aching, swelling, varicose veins, and leg discomfort.

The primary active compound is escin (aescin) — a mixture of triterpenoid saponins extracted from the horse chestnut seed. Escin works through several complementary mechanisms:

• Venotonic: Escin increases the tone of the smooth muscle in vein walls, improving venous return and reducing the pooling of blood in the lower limbs
• Anti-oedematous: Escin reduces capillary permeability — the leakage of fluid from blood vessels into surrounding tissue — thereby reducing oedema (swelling) in the legs and ankles
• Anti-inflammatory: Escin inhibits enzymes that break down the proteoglycans in capillary walls, helping to maintain structural integrity of the vascular wall

This formula adds calendula flower (Calendula officinalis, 100mg) — a traditional anti-inflammatory and lymphatic herb that complements horse chestnut's vascular action. Calendula has been used in European herbal medicine to support healthy circulation, reduce inflammation in vessel walls, and support lymphatic drainage — making it a natural partner for horse chestnut in a comprehensive leg vein and circulatory formula.

This product carries the TRU-ID™ certification — an independent, third-party DNA-based testing programme that verifies the botanical identity of the ingredients. This means you can be confident that the horse chestnut in this product is genuinely Aesculus hippocastanum and not a substitute or adulterant — a significant concern in the herbal supplement industry where botanical misidentification is common.
