( A new research has found that Pycnogeno...)Clinical-trials Show Increased Therapeutic Activity of Pycnogenol than Daflon,Health

A new research has found that Pycnogenol? is more effective than Daflon?, a combined form of diosmin and hesperidin commonly used to treat chronic venous insufficiency// (CVI).

According to the journal of Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hematosis, the supplementation of Pycnogenol? shows increased symptom reduction in the patients suffering from Chronic venous insufficiency. It is an antioxidant extracted from the bark of French maritime pine tree. The study led for 35 years shows its ability to improve blood flow and increase the strength of venous walls. Research shows Pycnogenol? more effective than Daflon?, a combined form of diosmin and hesperidin commonly used to treat CVI. The former drug is found to be more effective in treating the symptoms of CVI mainly edema, tight calves, skin alterations, pain during walking, and swelling limbs.

About 500,000 people in the United States develop leg ulcers due to CVI. If left untreated, leg and ankle swelling can lead to dangerous conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Previous studies have shown Pycnogenol? to be effective in encouraging improved circulation and helping to prevent travel-related DVT. Like varicose veins, spider veins also develop if edema is left untreated.

"Chronic venous insufficiency is caused when leg veins cannot pump enough blood back into the heart. When people are not active, blood pools in their leg veins, legs and ankles can become swollen," said Peter Rohdewald, Ph.D. and researcher of the study. "Eventually, some of the valves cannot hold the weight of excessive blood, which then adds more pressure onto the next valve further downwards. Ultimately, the inability to prevent the liquid in the blood from seeping into the tissue is what causes edema, a common condition of CVI."

Researchers at L'Aquila University in Italy conducted a comparative analysis by supplementing 86 patients with severe CVI with Pycnogenol? and Daflon?. Each grou
