3 plant powers working together
Horse chestnut and red vine leaf have been trusted plants in European herbal medicine for centuries. The synergistic combination of horse chestnut extract with the natural plant compound aescin, red vine leaf extract with valuable polyphenols, and acerola with natural vitamin C is based on the traditional uses of these plants.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) contributes to normal collagen formation in the body and thus to the normal function of blood vessels. Polyphenols are secondary plant compounds — known for their role in the plant’s protection system.
All ingredients in our organic horse chestnut complex are from certified organic cultivation and are free from undesirable additives.
Alternative dietary sources for vitamin C and polyphenols
Vitamin C and polyphenols are found in many fruit and vegetable varieties. Polyphenols are often located just under the skin. Especially red and dark berries, citrus fruits and sweet potatoes have high vitamin C content. Secondary plant substances are present in all plant foods. Particularly recommended are whole grain products and green leafy vegetables.
Simple and reliable: Vegan capsules with standardized plant extracts
Our organic horse chestnut complex with red vine leaf combines carefully selected plant extracts with natural vitamin C from acerola. Each vegan capsule contains a precisely standardized amount of the active compounds aescin and polyphenols — for consistent quality and efficacy.
The convenient capsule form makes daily use easier and is ideal for everyone who values natural ingredients and controlled organic farming.
Well‑travelled and returnees united in one mission
Horse chestnut originally grew across all of Europe. It survived the last Ice Age only in the Balkans. It was not until the end of the 16th century that it returned to Central Europe. The trees can live to be 300 years old. In naturopathy, not only the seeds, but also the blossoms, leaves, and bark of horse chestnut trees are used for various applications. The name “horse chestnut” possibly dates back to its use as horse feed during the Ottoman campaigns.
The leaves of the red vine have been known since antiquity as a natural remedy. Their deep red color becomes visible during the autumn foliage coloration. Red vine is cultivated in Southern and Central Europe, in South Africa and Australia.
The acerola cherry is not actually a cherry, but belongs to the Malpighiaceae family. These are mainly native to Central and South America, but also found in Hawaii and Jamaica. The red stone fruits are among the best natural sources of vitamin C and are hence considered a superfood.
