Vitacost Horse Chestnut – Sustained Release – 200 mg – 120 Tablets

Who Could Benefit from Horse Chestnut?

If you spend long hours on your feet or sitting at a desk, you might experience that heavy, tired feeling in your legs. Horse chestnut extract is popular amongst adults looking for natural ways to support leg vein health and circulation. As with any supplement, it's best to chat with your health care provider before starting, especially if you're on medication or have a medical condition.

What Is Horse Chestnut?

Horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) is a tree native to the Balkan region. Its seeds contain a compound called aescin, traditionally used in herbal medicine to support leg vein health and circulation. This extract is standardised to contain 20% aescin for consistent potency.

Why Sustained Release?

Sustained-release tablets release the active ingredient gradually over several hours. This helps maintain more even levels of the compound in your body compared to immediate-release forms. For horse chestnut, that means steadier support throughout the day.

Ingredients and How to Use

Each tablet provides 200 mg of horse chestnut extract (standardised to 20% aescin). Other ingredients include microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and magnesium stearate. Take one tablet daily with food and a full glass of water. Do not exceed the recommended dose.

Selecting a Quality Supplement

When choosing a horse chestnut supplement, look for standardised extracts, third-party testing, and clear labelling. Vitacost Horse Chestnut is manufactured in GMP-certified facilities and is non-GMO, gluten-free, and vegetarian-friendly. Every batch is tested for purity and potency.
