Collagen Synthesis in Cultured Fibroblasts with Varicose Veins
This experiment demonstrates that the synthesis of collagen, an essential building frame for the structure of almost all tissue in the human body, is dysregulated in patients with varicose veins. Horsechestnut and butcher’s broom are two herbs that have been used for centuries to address varicose veins. These contain bioflavanoids that are known to stabilize vessel walls. Vit C is also important for collagen synthesis and may benefit varicose veins.
