{"product_id":"2940014400817","title":"The Health Benefits of Citrus Bioflavonoids and Diosmin","description":"Venous insufficiency is a condition in which some valves in your veins are failing to work properly. This allows blood to actually flow backwards or AWAY from your heart. It also allows blood to begin to pool in the legs. Thus, you may end up with spider and varicose veins, leg swelling and the skin changes that may ultimately result in the development of venous stasis ulcers. The lifetime risk of developing venous stasis ulcers in individuals with venous insufficiency is 1 in 25, or 4%.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditionally there are not many things that you can do to overcome these issues other than:\u003cbr\u003e• Moving the legs by avoiding longer periods of sitting\/standing;\u003cbr\u003e• Exercising your legs to boost venous circulatory activity;\u003cbr\u003e• Using compression garments and bandages;\u003cbr\u003e• Using aggressive treatments for wounds or skin infections; and\u003cbr\u003e• Invasive and debilitating surgery, such as vein stripping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough there are minimally invasive surgical procedures today, this guide is going to introduce another option, which is the use of \"bioflavonoids\" (particularly the one known as \"diosmin\") as an alternative modality for the prevention and treatment of venous insufficiency.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the next few chapters we are going to look first at the venous circulation and how venous insufficiency actually works against it. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe will then explore bioflavonoids to learn more about them and to begin considering modern therapeutic and scientific evidence favoring their use to treat venous issues. \u003cbr\u003eWe will then determine if there are any interactions or safety precautions for those using them, how to get them, if they are available as food sources, and if there are any contraindications for using them when you have any of the conditions discussed.\u003cbr\u003eWe hope this information can help you combat some of the worst problems associated with venous insufficiency, and we wish you the best of health.","brand":"Hratch Karamanoukian","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070599217392,"sku":"2940014400817","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014400817_p0.jpg?v=1763607740","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014400817","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
