Horse Chestnut
Also known as: Aesculus hippocastanum, Conker tree, Rosskastanie, venostasin
Overview
Horse Chestnut is a plant extract with a group of molecules known as aescins, which are beneficial to circulatory health. Supplementation of horse chestnut appears to be beneficial for varicose veins and veinous insufficiency.
Benefits
Horse chestnut tends to be taken in the 400-600mg range, although it seems that the overall dose is less important than the standardization for aescin which should ultimately reach 100-150mg daily. Supplementation tends to be divided into two daily doses divided by 12 hours (so, a morning and evening dose at 8am and 8pm as an example), which is due to the active components (aescins) requiring about 12 hours to reach baseline concentrations.
How it works
Horse Chestnut is most often used for Cardiovascular Health. It is linked to conditions such as Chronic Venous Insufficiency and Hemorrhoids.
