Why supplement?

Primary

Strengthen lower-leg venous tone

Oligomeric proanthocyanidins protect collagen cross-links; trials watch leg girth and heaviness after long standing. Flight attendants and teachers with lower-leg oedema more often notice lighter legs after several continuous weeks. Once collagen cross-links are protected, standing leg girth often falls before ache.

Primary

Care for microvascular permeability

Proanthocyanidins reduce markers related to microvascular leak, which people whose skin shows spider veins more often match. After several continuous weeks they more often notice lower-leg appearance and extremity temperature. When microvascular leak falls, lower-leg appearance and extremity temperature can be watched together.
