Strenuous activities use body fuel and create metabolic products that lead to fatigue. Excessive fatigue not only affect your performance but also predispose to tissue injury. Therefore we need blood flow to supply oxygen and nutrients to the muscles so that they can recover. [1]
Aescin is the active principle in the Horse-chestnut extract that we used in our formulation. Several studies support the efficacy in the treatment of CVI (Chronic Venous Insufficiency) a condition characterized by reduced blood flow, swelling, pain and inflammation. [2] [3] It works by increasing the venous tone (this results in restoration of the normal blood flow), by protecting the micro-circulation and by counteracting the inflammatory process. [4]
We also use Hamamelis Virginiana or Witch Hazel in our formulation. This plant has important anti-edematous and astringent property that improve the ‘After Riding Rub’ efficacy. [5]
