VENOCIN® horse chestnut extract (Aesculus hippocastanum)

Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum L.) is a tree native to the Balkans whose seeds have long been used in European herbal medicine. Venocin® is a standardised extract of these seeds, titrated to 20% aescin, ensuring a consistent concentration of active compounds from batch to batch. Aescin is a complex of triterpene saponins recognised for its venotonic properties and its ability to contribute to the maintenance of normal blood circulation. It acts by reinforcing vascular wall tone and helping to reduce capillary permeability, which may help limit the sensation of heavy legs and oedema associated with mild venous insufficiency. The standardisation of Venocin® ensures optimal reproducibility and traceability, two essential criteria for reliable supplementation. Using a titrated extract provides precise and consistent aescin intake, whereas simple seed powder would offer variable concentrations. Horse chestnut extract supplementation is particularly suited to individuals looking to support their everyday venous comfort.
