Full Description
Varitonin™ contains a blend of vitamin C, hesperidin methyl chalcone, and standardized extracts of horse chestnut, butcher's broom, and gotu kola for comprehensive vascular support.
Vitamin C: Foremost among vitamin C’s (ascorbic acid) many biological functions, is its role in capillary health. Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen and glycosaminoglycans, which are the building materials of all connective tissues, such as skin, blood vessels, tendons, joint cartilage and bone. Vitamin C is among the most powerful antioxidants in humans and animals. The antioxidant functions of vitamin C appear to have clinical significance in providing protection from free radical damage to the vasculature as well as the eyes, lungs, blood and the immune system.
Horse chestnut contains numerous flavonoids, including quercetin and kaempferol, sterols, and tannins. Horse chestnut is widely recommended to promote the strength and integrity of the veins and capillaries. Horse chestnut also enhances venous tone and promotes diuresis.
Butcher’s Broom (Ruscus asculeatus): Physicians as far back as ancient Greece have recognized the beneficial properties of butcher’s broom. In addition to enhancing venous tone, butcher’s broom helps reduce capillary permeability.
Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica): helps strengthen the microvasculature, which in turn enhances blood circulation to the legs. Gotu kola may also help avoid excess fluid retention in the lower extremities.
Hesperidin methylchalcone supports and protects the integrity of the vascular system with particular activity in the capillaries and veins. Hesperidin methylchalcone has been shown to help strengthen capillaries by increasing capillary resistance and decreasing capillary permeability. Increased venous motility, tone, and the ability of vessels to dilate are also enhanced by hesperidin methylchalcone.
