Baywood's Diosmin Caps combine Diosmin and Hesperidin to make
the most complete, effective combination formula for supporting
y veins. Diosmin and Hesperidin are two natural citrus
bioflavonoids. Both have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
activity and support over-all cardiovascular , in
addition to the cosmetic benefits of reducing the appearance of
varicose veins and spider veins.Diosmin and Hesperidin are used
widely in Europe for decreasing the appearance of varicose
veins and spider veins, and also hemmorhoids. Hesperidin is the
predominant flavonoid in lemons and oranges. The peel and
membranous parts of these fruits have the highest hesperidin
concentrations. Hesperidin is classified as a citrus
bioflavonoid. Hesperidin, Diosmin and other flavonoids thought to
reduce capillary permeability and to have anti-inflammatory
action were collectively known as P. These substances,
however, are not s and are no longer referred to, except
in older literature, as P.Like almost everything else in
our bodies, our veins are susceptible to deterioration with
age, especially if we have a poor diet or inadequate exercise.
This is particularly true of the veins in our legs, which have
the difficult job of conducting blood upward against gravity's
relentless pull. The movements of the legs act as a pump to
push the blood upward while flimsy valves stop gravity from
pulling it back down. However, over time these valves often begin
to fail and the blood then begins to pool in the deep veins of
the leg, stretching the vein wall and injuring its lining. This
situation is called venous insufficiency.What are Varicose
Veins?Varicose veins, a condition closely related to venous
insufficiency, occur when veins near the surface of the skin
are damaged. They visibly dilate and become distorted,
resulting in a cosmetically unpleasant appearance resulting in
varicose veins and hemorrhoids (actually, the latter are varicose
veins, just in a different place), which afflict countless
millions of people, especially in Western societies, where the
incidence is believed to be about 50% of all people over 50
years of age. Researchers aren't completely sure why some veins
become varicose. Heredity is believed to play a part, as are
hormones. That's one of the reasons varicose veins may be more
common in pregnancy.In one study, distended veins improved
considerably within only 60 minutes, and the effect was still
prominent four hours later (Struckmann 1994). In addition, a
Danish study showed that these amazing flavonoids were able to
improve the elasticity of veins as well as help the capillaries
by reducing permeability and leakage and support circulation
(Struckmann 1999).In Italy, a 42-day study was conducted with 40
people suffering from lower-limb circulation problems due to
unstable blood sugar levels. Researchers measured the impact of
hesperidin and diosmin on capillary filtration of albumin, a
specific protein retention and filtration problem common among
those with imbalanced blood sugar. Results showed that 55% of
those taking the flavonoids achieved completely normal
capillary filtration of albumin: a remarkable success in fewer
than 45 days (Valensi 1996).London researchers evaluated the
effects of diosmin and hesperidin on 25 people who had lost
normal elasticity in their leg veins. In just four weeks, those
who received the ents demonstrated increased elasticity of
their leg veins, y blood flow, and stronger venous
structure (Ibegbuna 1997).In yet another study, people at high
risk of forming traveling blood clots were given hesperidin and
diosmin both before and after undergoing major surgery. The
injection of flavonoids dramatically reduced their risk compared
with those who received a placebo (Tsimoyiannis
1996).References Ibegbuna, V. et al. (1997). “Venous elasticity
