Thank you for your interest in our protocol to support your vascular system for your lower extremity.
Nutritional Support for Varicose Veins & Lower Extremity Circulation: Standard Process Protocol
Introduction Section Varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency in the legs and feet cause bulging veins, swelling, aching, heaviness, itching, or skin changes—often worsened by standing, pregnancy, or obesity. Peripheral artery disease (PAD) adds cramping pain (claudication), poor wound healing, and cold extremities due to reduced arterial flow. While compression stockings, exercise, weight management, and procedures (e.g., sclerotherapy, ablation) are mainstays, whole-food nutritional support can promote healthy vein tone, vascular integrity, and peripheral circulation.
Standard Process supplements provide bioavailable nutrients and herbs to support these processes, complementing your podiatric care.
Disclaimer: This is educational information only—not medical advice or a treatment protocol. Standard Process products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent varicose veins, venous insufficiency, or PAD. Consult your healthcare provider before starting supplements, especially with PAD, blood thinners, diabetes, or vascular procedures. Monitor symptoms and consider ABI testing or vascular referral as needed.
Key Lifestyle Foundations (Essential for lower extremity success)
- Wear medical-grade compression stockings daily
- Elevate legs when sitting; avoid prolonged standing
- Walk regularly to activate calf muscle pump
- Maintain healthy weight and stay hydrated
- For PAD: Supervised walking programs + smoking cessation

Vascular Care Complex (MediHerb) |
1 tablet 2× daily (with meals) |
Contains Butcher’s Broom, Horsechestnut seed, and Ginkgo—specifically designed to support healthy vein integrity, reduce swelling, and promote circulation in the vascular system. Top choice for varicose veins and chronic venous insufficiency in legs/feet. |
| 2 (Core – Peripheral Circulation) |
Circuplex® |
2–3 tablets daily (with meals, divided) |
Whole-food niacin + vitamin B6 to promote healthy peripheral blood flow and vascular health. Helps with leg heaviness, cold extremities, and mild claudication-like symptoms in PAD overlap cases. |
| 3 (Optional Add-On – Capillary Strength) |
Cyruta® Plus |
1–2 tablets daily (with meals) |
Rutin and bioflavonoids strengthen capillaries and support peripheral circulation. Excellent for varicose-related skin changes, spider veins, or when microcirculation needs extra support. |

Duration & Tips
- Trial 8–12 weeks; track leg swelling, heaviness, pain, or vein appearance.
- Pair with compression stockings, leg elevation, walking, and weight management.
- For PAD concerns: Monitor walking tolerance and foot pulses; coordinate with vascular specialist.
