Vitamins and supplements may be beneficial in maintaining or boosting a person’s health, but they are by no means a “miracle solution” for individuals with underlying health conditions.
We mention this because it’s important for patients to seek care from highly trained medical personnel before attempting to diagnose themselves; especially if they’re experiencing moderate to severe health symptoms.
This same idea can be applied to vein care. Patients with varicose veins or other venous diseases should seek treatment from the vein specialists at Palm Vein Center. We focus our attention on the patient to ensure a proper evaluation and diagnosis are being delivered, and that the patient is receiving his or her recommended treatment options with the utmost respect and care.
Nevertheless, should patients be looking for ways to improve their vein health and decrease their risk of venous disease, we’ve got insight on vitamins and supplements that may aid these endeavors! Below is a list of vitamins that may keep your veins healthy:
Vitamin C
According to the Linus Pauling Institute, 500 milligrams of vitamin C a day can help build collagen and elastin, which also helps support skin and blood vessels. When the skin is kept strong and flexible, it can help reduce pressure on valves and keep them from leaking or getting worse. Still, if your varicose veins are severe, it’s important a physician checks them out!Vitamin E
Vitamin E is essential for blood vessels because it helps prevent blood-clotting proteins from forming clots in the veins. A study published in the journal of Free Radical Biology Medicine found that 100 to 800 IUs of vitamin E could aid blood vessel health.Vitamin B-3
Vitamin B-3, also known as niacin may benefit patients who have an increased risk or history of atherosclerosis, a condition that causes plaque build-up in artery walls. This vitamin can help balance cholesterol levels within veins, which will ultimately help blood move smoothly.The advice and information contained in this article are for educational purposes only and are not intended to replace or counter a physician’s advice or judgment.
