Vitamins and Supplements for Spider Veins

You are what you eat. As cliché as it may sound, nothing can be truer than that. Speaking of which. Here are some essential vitamins that can in fact prevent or slow down the progression of unsightly spider veins in your skin.
Eating foods rich in vitamin C, bioflavonoids, and vitamin E should be the main idea. Thse nutrients are inarguably helpful to improve circulation and reduce pain from varicosities. Bioflavonoids also strengthen venous walls and connective tissue that surround the walls of the blood vessels, and vitamin E also acts as a blood thinner to improve circulation. Take 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 300 milligrams of a bioflavonoid complex three times each day, and 200 international units of vitamin E twice daily. Take an additional 1,000 milligrams of rutin daily.
Essential fatty acids also help to decrease pain from varicose veins. Take 500 to 1,000 milligrams of black currant seed, borage, or evening primrose oil a day to reduce pain.
It is also helpful to take 25,000 international units of beta-carotene daily.
Take a vitamin-B complex plus an additional 60 milligrams of vitamin B6 daily for a few months.
Gotu kola extract is helpful for venous insufficiency, water retention in the ankles, foot swelling, and varicose veins. Take 200 milligrams three times a day.
Distilled witch hazel is soothingly astringent when applied to areas with varicosities by means of a cotton ball soaked in the extract. Several studies in animals have shown that witch hazel helps to strengthen blood vessels as well.
Gingko biloba extract enhances tissue oxygenation and circulation.
Hawthorn extract contains vitamin C, bioflavonoids, zinc, and sulfur, all of which are helpful for varicose veins. Take 200 milligrams three times a day
Last but not the least, horse-chestnut seed offers perhaps the most helpful herbal relief for the swelling, pain, itching, fatigue, and tenseness experience by those who have varicose and spider veins. Clinical tests reveal that horse chestnut enhances circulation in the legs, decreases inflammation, and strengthens the veins and capillaries.
