How long does it usually take for Horse Chestnut pills to improve the appearance of Vericrose Veins?

Question

I'd like to get some idea of how long it will take before i see improvement. I've taken about two a day for the last week. I'm sixteen, 115 pounds and I am very active, if any of this makes a difference.

Any suggestions on dosage?

Answer 1

Forever, they won't work any better than placebo (sugar pills)  Horse chestnut is toxic and has a number of serious side effects.

If you have varicose veins at your young age, you should see your doctor for workable solutions.

Answer 2

I've taken horse chestnut and grapeseed before, and after a couple weeks, I really did notice a difference! I have really bad varicose veins behind my knees, and spider veins as well. The varicose veins seemed a lot lighter after I was taking horse chestnut pills. The only thing is, I wasn't able to take it in the morning or empty stomach because it made me feel nauseous. I would suggest maybe taking it before bed.

But, be cautious:

"When properly processed, horse chestnut seed extract contains little or no esculin and is considered generally safe. However, the extract can cause some side effects, including itching, nausea, or gastrointestinal upset."

So that would explain my nausea! Yeah, so it should not contain esculin. Follow the directions on the bottle, and if you notice any side effects, lower the dosage.

Hope it works for you! I think I will continue taking it again..
