Description:
In dietary supplements, extracts of the seeds of the chestnut are also known as "Aesculus hippocastanum", "Escin" or "Aescin" and sometimes by its German name, "Rosskastanie". Horse chestnut seeds have been used traditionally to treat both hemorrhoids and varicose veins. It seems that horse chestnut extracts may strengthen the veins to prevent leakage of fluid out of the vessels and into the tissue space - which would lead to swelling.
Horse chestnut extract is our leading products, We have huge stock for every specification, and we can supply it with best price in China based on the excellent quality.
