Absolutely, there is some wonderful supplementation of varicose veins. The first one I like to think about is [xx] which is a bioflavonoids, if you've ever eaten an orange or a grape fruit and you see that kind of white run the step that most people kind of pull away and through away, well that have a lot of really great [xx] in it, and [xx] is very good to support the vein structure so that it tightens and it doesn't bulge out as easily from the pressure of the main, a lot of time when I give [xx] I like to use another supplement called diasomene, which is another bioflavonoid, which also helps the structure in a slightly different way, and there are many preparations or supplements cell [xx] and [xx] together, so sometimes I like to use those, just to make it easier.
The other thing I think about when preventing varicose veins is just making sure people are getting plenty of water, they're eating really good food, if they're overweight, that can create a lot of pressure on the vein it's going into the legs and helps the backup too, and then there's genetics which I know there's less you can do about that but if you take care of yourself then the genetics don't express themselves as well, so using this experiment the diaphragm and really good selfcare I think it's the best choice for preventing the varicose veins.
