CVI AND YOUR SUFFERING LEGS

-

CVI occurs when veins fail to efficientl­y send blood from the legs back to the heart. It may lead to problems such as varicose veins, ankle swelling, heavy and tired legs, leg pains, itchiness, and nighttime leg cramps.

CVI is often treated with compressio­n stockings, but recent findings are showing that high concentrat­ions of polyphenol­s found in grape seed and pine bark extracts can effectivel­y help relieve the symptoms of CVI.*
