Vena-Force

Tired, swollen and aching legs are all possible signs of pending varicose veins. When the circulatory system is functioning properly, the arteries in the legs deliver blood, oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and the veins return deoxygenated blood back to the heart. In nearly 50% of the middle-aged adult population, the leg veins are compromised and do not function properly.

Varicose veins are visible, bluish, bulging veins that are often accompanied by aches and pains. Swellling and an overall feeling of heaviness in the legs are characteristic of varicose veins.The key to avoiding varicose veins and their potential complications is early detection and prevention.

PRAIRIE NATURALS VENA-FORCE combines standardized extracts of Horse Chestnut Seed, Butcher's Broom and Ginkgo Biloba with broad-spectrum Grape Seed extract and Citrus Bioflavanoids. Used regularly and in partnership with a healthy, active lifestyle and a fibre and nutrient rich diet, this unique formula will help promote healthy legs from within.

CITRUS BIOFLAVONOIDS- The human body cannot produce bioflavonoids, they must be supplied in the diet. Bioflavanoids enhance cellular levels of Vitamin C and act synergestically with Vitamin C to protect and preserve the structure of capillary blood vessels. They help reduce pain in the legs and symptoms associated with the enlargement of the veins.

HORSE CHESTNUT- European researchers have "rediscovered" Horse Chestnut as a remedy to reduce swelling and pain of varicose veins, to soothe hemorrhoids and to decrease cramps in the calves, especially at night, VENA-FORCE contains a standardized extract of Horse Chestnut that provides 16% Escin, the active ingredient used for leg health.

BUTHCHER'S BROOM - This herb is a member of the lily family, native to the Mediteranean. The active ingredients in Butcher's Broom are known as ruscogenins. These compounds possess anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictor effects. They decrease the fragility and permeability of capillaries in the legs. Clinical studies have shown symptoms such as leg heaviness and cramps improved significantly in patients who supplemented with a standardized extract of Butcher's Broom.

GINGKO BILOBA EXTRACT- one of the most prescribed phytomedicines in Europe today. Gingko contains potent antioxidants that improve microcirculation and protect the vein's inner wall lining from structural damage. Gingko is particularly beneficial for vascular insufficiency, atherosclerosis, (hardening of the arteries), high blood pressure and poor circulation (leg cramps and inflammation).

MEGANATURAL GRAPE SEED EXTRACT

MEGA NATURAL is a pure, undiluted broad-spectrum Grape Seed extract that is rich in procyanidin compounds, one of the groups of plant flavonoids. Scientific tests indicate that procyanidins provide protection against free radicals, decrease the permeability and fragility of blood vessels, increase intracellular levels of Vitamin C and glutathione, and inhibit destruction of collagen. Extracted from premium unfermented red and white grape seeds, MegaNatural provides a superior source of Grape Seed extract. For antioxidant protection, the recommended dosage is 100 mgs. per day.

Healthy legs are a reality we can all enjoy by modifying several key lifestyle factors. Supplementation in conjunction with proper diet, optimized hormonal balance (see PMS-FEMME and MENO-FEMME and regular exercise is the vital basis for a lifetime of healthy leg circulation.
