How Proanthocyanidin works

Proanthocyanidin is a polyphenolic compound that is extracted from grape seeds. It is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory and vasodilating properties. It helps to dilate the constricted blood veins to reduce the tension on the blood vessels to restore normal blood flow. This is how it works to treat the symptoms of varicose veins such as itching, heaviness, swelling, and pain.
