Sedentary lifestyles & poor eating habits can adversely affect the health & vitality of the heart & circulatory system. Solgar Bilberry Horse Chestnut Complex combines the synergy of traditional botanicals with plant extracts to encourage systemic health, of benefit to both mind & body.
Bromelain
- Derived from pineapple, this potent anti-inflammatory fibrinolytic agent is well known for its protective & strengthening effects on blood vessels.
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus)
- A rich source of flavonoids (anthocyanins), bilberries help optimise the integrity of the vascular system primarily through stabilising vascular collagen, aiding vasodilation, inhibiting excessive platelet aggregation & inhibiting free radical damage.
Rutin
- This plant-derived flavonoid exerts protective effects on the circulatory system by strengthening capillaries, reducing capillary permeability & inflammation & providing antioxidant effects.
Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum)
- A rich source of the flavonoid aescin, horse chestnut has historically been shown to support & strengthen lower limb circulation through tonifying effects & reducing capillary fragility. Flavonoids & tannins found in horse chestnut are generally recognised as having anti-inflammatory & astringent properties.
Grape Seed Extract
- Grape seed extract is rich in oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs); potent flavonoids known to exert antioxidant, collagen stabilising, & anti-inflammatory properties.
Yarrow (Achillea millefolium)
- Historical use of yarrow reveals circulatory benefits due to its effects on dilating & tonifying peripheral blood vessels. Research reveals that part of the vaso-protective mechanisms offered by yarrow is due to its effects on modulating the inflammatory signalling molecule NF-k B.
Lime Blossom (Tilea spp.)
- Lime blossom, as a Ënervine botanical, helps limit the negative effects of anxiety & tension & is stated to possess sedative, diuretic & antispasmodic actions mainly due to the presence of volatile oils.
Solgar Bilberry Horse Chestnut Complex also contains hawthorn berry, cayenne & gotu kola; botanicals renowned for their circulatory benefits.
