A.Vogel Venaforce Extra – Horse Chestnut Extract for Varicose Veins & Hemorrhoid Support (30 Tablets)

Heavy, aching legs at the end of the day are often a sign that circulation in the veins needs support. Venaforce Extra is an A.Vogel herbal medicine made with standardised horse chestnut seed extract (Aesculus hippocastanum), traditionally used to relieve the symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency, including varicose veins, leg swelling and that heavy, tired feeling. It is also traditionally used for symptoms linked to hemorrhoids.

How it works

The key compound in horse chestnut seed is aescin, which helps tone and strengthen vein walls and reduces the fluid that seeps into surrounding tissue and causes swelling.
