Horse chestnut:the horse chestnut bark is rich in aescin which gives the plant anti-edema (able to reduce edema) and vasoconstrictive properties. Aescin manages to protect the structure of blood vessels making it more resistant and less permeable: less blood stagnation in the periphery means less swollen and heavy legs and is an excellent preventive action against cellulite and capillary fragility
Centella:the plant has beneficial effects on the functionality of the microcirculation and supports the natural trophism of the dermis. Centella is able to increase the synthesis of collagen type I (typical of the dermis) and type III (typical of the vascular walls).
Red Grapes:among the main components of the seeds of Red Grapes, the PACs (proanthocyanidins) stand out, which protect against damage from free radicals; they are useful in case of edema and inflammation. Their use is mainly aimed at protecting blood vessels and strengthening microcirculation. They then protect the tissues from the degradation of collagen and elastin (important connective tissue proteins) and favor the formation of collagen microfibrils. PACs show an elective affinity for cartilage, arterial and venous walls, where they act by promoting the formation of new collagen.
Sweet clover: the leaves and flowering tops of sweet clover contain flavonoids, tannins and coumarins whose main effect is on lymphatic drainage. Coumarin improves the contractile ability of blood vessels. The plant also performs a vaso-protective action on the walls of the veins, increasing their permeability.
Pineapple:the pineapple stem is rich in bromelain: an enzyme with proteolytic activity used to improve circulation, as it has an antithrombotic action. It is particularly effective in the presence of edema, which facilitates its reabsorption, and localized cellulite.
