Zazzee Extra Strength Horse Chestnut 10:1 Extract, 3000 mg Strength, 20% Aescins, 4 Month Supply, 120 Vegan Capsules, Concentrated and Standardize...

When I grew up, I was always told to never eat horse chestnuts due to their toxicity, but horse chestnut creams and gels were successfully used for vein health. Since I have some spider veins, I thought I would give this extract a try. There are many horse chestnut extracts available now, and I have to assume that they are safe. I have taken it a few times and had no side effects but I can't get over my inner voice cautioning me and making me feel like I am taking a gamble with my health. This has nothing to do with this particular product but with my weariness about horse chestnut ingestion. I think I will try to mix it with some lotion and see if it can work topically or just get some horse chestnut gel to help with my spider veins. Overall the capsules are easy to swallow and the price is fair.

This is 300mg of horse chestnut extract. The serving size is one and you get 120 easy to swallow capsules so that's a 4 month supply. The capsules seem to be of good quality. I found this to be a really good value for the money for 20% aescin horse chestnut extract compared to other offerings I have used.

Webmd says standardized horse chestnut seed extract products are likely safe for most people when used short-term and you should only use products which have had esculin, a toxic substance, removed. I have no idea if this has been removed from this product as I see no mention about it on any of the descriptions or website. So, I have posted a question on the page and await an answer before I ingest this. I ordered this product because I have spider veins and a large blue vein at the back of my left knee (not knotty or overly bulging like a bad varicose vein) that I find unsightly. I am 46 and my mom was just diagnosed with PAD and had a clot in her right leg which required a stent. I have not yet seen my own vascular doctor to assess my veins but am always interested in more natural approaches to issues when applicable. I had read horse chestnut was known for helping venous problems/symptoms so thought I would try it out. I have since come across more information regarding safety so I am including what I have found below for others who may be looking into this product but not well-versed on it.

Zazzee Extra Strength Horse Chestnut 10:1 Extract is a bottle of 120 vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO capsules, each containing 300 mg of horse chestnut extract standardized to 20% aescins. The label claims that this is a 10:1 extract and that it is 10 times stronger than standard. I'm not quite sure what to make of that. Other brands of horse chestnut extract that I have purchased also appear to be standardized to 20% aescins and contain a similar quantity of horse chestnut extract. I prefer to think of it as capsules containing 300 mg of horse chestnut extract, which compares favorably with other horse chestnut products I have purchased. Horse chestnut extract is supposed to help with vein health and possibly varicose veins. I have used it off and on in the past and have seen minor improvement. I'm hoping that this product will offer some minor benefits... Trying to keep my expectations realistic! I found this product to be a quality product and reasonably priced. The capsules contain the generally recommended amount of standardized horse chestnut extract.
