Article Abstract:

Chronic venous insufficiency is caused by venous and capillary hypertension, which leads to a persistent, chronic, venous, stasis in the skin of the lower leg. Although the red vine leaf studies were small in number the available evidence suggests that a standardized extract of red vine (AS 195) has properties that may help to maintain a healthy leg vein function.
