Benefits of dietary supplements to promote circulation

Our range of dietary supplements for circulation helps to limit circulatory discomfort.

30% of French women questioned in a SOFRES study for the association La Maladie Veineuse said they had bad legs due to circulatory problems. 76% of them even say they suffer from them.

Among the most frequently cited problems: varicose veins, heavy legs, circulatory problems and pain.

A few recommendations combined with the benefits of plants will relieve your legs and get you back on the right foot. Start by walking more often at a steady pace, lie down at the end of the day to relax your legs by elevating your feet with a cushion, for example, and eat a balanced diet rich in vitamins (fruit and vegetables).

How do I order a dietary supplement for heavy legs from a chemist?

Heavy legs, swollen ankles, cold extremities and concentration problems are all linked to poor circulation. Circulation problems are manifold, in keeping with the breadth of the circulatory system that extends throughout the body. A network of arteries, veins and capillaries, set in motion by the heart, the circulatory system plays a key role in delivering blood to all the body's tissues.

The natural food supplements selected by our expert pharmacists can be used to address a broad or targeted circulatory problem. Red vine,witch hazel, ginkgo, horse chestnut, fragon and OPC are effective natural solutions for heavy legs and swollen ankles, while chrysantellum and ginkgo are ideal for stimulating circulation in the extremities, and ginkgo and centella asiatica promote cerebral circulation and good brain oxygenation.

What are the health issues linked to blood circulation?

Venous circulation, which corresponds to heavy legs syndrome: vein fragility and leg comfort. Poor venous circulation causes a sensation of heavy legs and tingling in the lower limbs, with swelling around the ankles. Visually, the skin may take on a bluish tint or become mottled. The circulatory problem of light legs is due to a lack of tone in the venous walls, and can sometimes lead to dilation of the walls and even obstruction of the deep veins.
Peripheral blood circulation (or micro-circulation) is affected by problems of "cold" hands and feet, with tingling when temperatures are low. Pale, cold skin can even take on a surprising yellowish or purplish hue. Poor peripheral circulation can also, in some cases, lead to a feeling of insensitivity.
Cerebral blood circulation can also be impaired, causing headaches and cognitive problems such as dizziness, memory loss, difficulty concentrating and drowsiness.

Which natural veinotonics should I choose?

Red vine (Vitis vinifera): Antioxidants increase blood vessel tone and strengthen vein walls.
Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) reduces inflammation of varicose veins by reducing histamine production, and soothes hemorrhoids by strengthening the vein wall and limiting inflammation.
Hamamelis (Hamamelis virginiana) is indicated for the treatment of heavy legs and hemorrhoids. Its action on varicose veins and phlebitis is also recognized.

When should I wear compression garments?

Compression garments are indicated for the treatment of all types of venous insufficiency. Compression garments, particularly socks, stockings and tights, help reduce vein dilatation and increase blood flow velocity. Developed in the medical field to promote venous return in patients suffering from venous insufficiency, venous support garments for sportsmen and women enable better recovery after exercise.

They must be adapted to each individual's situation and prescribed by a physician. There are different classes of compression, each adapted to the severity of venous insufficiency.

If symptoms do not improve, we recommend that you consult a doctor. Indeed, medication may sometimes be necessary to relieve heavy legs .

Precautions for use with dietary supplements for circulatory comfort

Please note that dietary supplements for circulatory comfort are not recommended for pregnant and breast-feeding women, or for children under 12. They should not be taken with meals.

Cures should be spread over a period of at least three months, with breaks to avoid damaging the internal balance. Cures are not recommended if you are taking anticoagulants, or if you are undergoing surgery (interrupt the cure for 3 days before the operation).

Finally, caution should be exercised when taking other medications at the same time. In case of doubt, consult a therapist.

Nota bene: Since 2012, in the absence of convincing proof of efficacy, European health authorities have prohibited flavonoid-containing food supplements from claiming to contribute to the health of the heart and blood vessels. Furthermore, dietary supplements containing catechins, oligoproanthocyanidins (OPCs), rutin or diosmin cannot claim to contribute to blood circulation, nor prevent chronic venous insufficiency.

What's more, according to the European Food Safety Agency, food supplements containing extracts of grape seed(Vitis vinifera) can NOT claim to facilitate venous circulation in the legs, reduce leg swelling, or drain water accumulations in the body.

Finally, products containing diosmin, troxerutin and hesperidin can NOT claim to maintain venous tone or the permeability of venous capillaries.
