Now an aesthetic treatment for facial spider veins and varicose veins is starting to gain some notice -- a cream containing the little known Vitamin P.

Vitamin P is part of the

It is present in citrus fruit peels, grapes, peppers, black currant, bilberries, buckwheat, rose hips, and other plants, that in mammals maintain the resistance of capillary walls to permeation and changes of pressure.

In 1937, Dr. Albert Szent-Gyorgyi from Hungary won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for isolating vitamin C. In the course of doing this he discovered and dubbed the bioflavonoid substances vitamin P, for permeability.

He discovered that among the bioflavanoids, rutin and citrus bioflavanoids plus hesperidin have particularly beneficial effects on capillary strength and stability, and may also protect these blood vessels. They are vital in their ability to increase strength of the blood vessels and to regulate their permeability.

According to Stephen Strassler, founder of Reviva Labs in Haddonfield, New Jersey and one of the first licensed Aestheticians in the USA, "By strengthening capillaries, vitamin P helps improve their elasticity and helps resist future damage. In addition, vitamin P improves circulation and helps decongest clogged capillaries found in spider veins."

The best benefits for the elimination of facial spider veins are obtained by the utilization of the bioflavanoid family both internally with vitamin C Complex tablets or capsules that includes rutin, citrus, and or hesperidin; and externally with a topical vitamin P cream. Vitamin C Complex tablets for internal use are found in Health Food Stores; as is Reviva Labs Vitamin P Day Cream.

Vitamin P can also help lighten rosacea's ruddiness or spider veins as it helps battle further capillary damage by strengthening blood vessels and helping to alleviate congestion.

For an easy, safe, and inexpensive alternative to treat varicose veins, Vitamin P with rutin and citrus bioflavanoids utilized internally and externally can strengthen vein walls, boost circulation, and can even combat the swelling of ankles and lower legs.

In addition to vitamin P's, rutin and citrus bioflavanoids, topical vitamin P for varicose veins in the legs should include a potent hesperidin complex plus a special horsechestnut extract.
