Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Herbal blends have a long history of traditional use in supporting capillary health, particularly in systems of medicine such as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda. Many herbal blends intended for capillary support commonly include ingredients like horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, gotu kola, and ginkgo biloba, which have individually been used for promoting vascular health and supporting microcirculation. However, when referred to as a "proprietary herbal blend," the specific composition is often undisclosed, making it difficult to evaluate the precise evidence for the blend itself. Traditional usage typically involves claims of strengthening blood vessel walls, reducing capillary fragility, and supporting circulation, but these claims are rooted in empirical use rather than rigorous scientific validation. While some individual herbs have limited clinical or preclinical evidence showing benefits for capillary function, robust clinical trials for proprietary herbal blends as a whole are rare. Therefore, the justification for their use in supporting capillaries is predominantly based on tradition, with only minimal or indirect scientific support available for some blend components.
