Which plants can relieve heavy legs?
Red vine leaf
The vine, or Vitis vinifera, is a shrub cultivated since ancient times. It offers numerous health benefits, mainly due to its polyphenols. These organic compounds have been the subject of extensive research, particularly resveratrol, which is found mainly in the skin of the fruit, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) found in the seeds. The leaves are also rich in polyphenols. They are traditionally used to help relieve symptoms of heavy legs and venous insufficiency. Red vine leaves contribute to healthy blood flow in the legs* and help maintain good leg and vein function*.
Available as an organic extract standardized to 10% polyphenols.

It helps maintain healthy venous circulation in the legs* and supports circulatory health*. Aescin is the active compound found in horse chestnut. It is known for its anti-inflammatory and vasoconstrictive properties.
