Now Foods Horse Chestnut, 300 mg, 90 Capsules

Good

I got positive results by using this supplement, but the cost is too high. I got same results with another horse chestnut supplement.

This product was prescribed by both a dermatologist and an internist to deal with circulatory problems, as a herbal remedy that actually has scientific support. (I'm awfully skeptical about the "scientific support" that you find for almost all herbal products. It's usually hooey!) Literature I rounded up indicated that there really is good support for its use. I have been using this for 6 months and I have noticed good improvements. One person's experience doesn't constitute proof of effectiveness, but at least my experience has been good. Plus, no side effects. And the cost is pretty reasonable. I stick to the dose of 2 capsules a day that is suggested. This product seems to have the ingredients that are supposed to be there and Now products are usually pretty good and I buy several of them for me and lysine powder for our cats . (I do not, however, buy Krill oil or fish oil from Now.) So I'm ordering two bottles again. I'm pleased.

I do a lot of research before adding a supplement to my daily rituals - I'm not inclined to swallow a bunch of pills every day - but this is so worth adding. One study suggested this supplement was as effective as compression socks at supporting leg veins. I'm only one person, but yes - I've worn compression socks for several years and occasionally still do, but as soon as I started taking this, my legs just stopped hurting and I dared to pass on the socks a few times with no negative consequences. If I know I'm going to be on my feet for a extraordinary amount of time, I'll use both - why not? But I will continue to take this forever - just one a day and never on an empty stomach. It works for me.

👍

The product is okay, but it didn't agree with me. I got sick every time I took one.

I have had problems with varicose veins for many years. Any more than an hour on my feet and my legs would begin to ache terribly. I did have surgery which helped a little for a while, but the pain returned. I decided to try this product and was incredibly surprised that I GOT IMMEDIATE RELIEF AFTER THE FIRST CAPSULE! I have never had such a good result with a supplement. I have not noticed any bad side effects. When researching horse chestnut, it did suggest that it should not be taken for long periods of time.
