Brief recap of haemorrhoids

Haemorroids (also known as ‘piles’) are a network of small blood vessels located around the anus.

Genetic predisposition, frequent constipation or a sedentary lifestyle can all cause these internal and external blood vessels to dilate. Excessive dilation can be a major source of discomfort: increased haemorrhoid volume, itching, bleeding during bowel movements, pain... When it gets to this stage, it is referred to as haemorrhoidal disease (1-3).

What exactly does the supplement Hemo Comfort contain?

The good news is that research has identified several natural, plant-source compounds that can help combat excessive haemorrhoid dilation. The supplement Hemo Comfort thus contains the following 4 bio-active substances which have been shown to be particularly effective:

1. horse chestnut extract (standardised to 20% aescin). Horse chestnut is the most effective known natural venotonic. Its benefits come primarily from its aescin content, a mixture of saponins with anti-oedema effects. Horse chestnut is used for invigorating venous circulation, by sending blood back towards the heart, and for helping to lower blood pressure in the legs. Horse chestnut is thus widely used to help combat problem haemorrhoids and varicose veins. It may also help to maintain healthy skin (4-9);
2. diosmin extracted from the fruit of Citrus aurantium, , also known as Seville or bitter orange. This flavone is often used in cases of acute or chronic haemorrhoids. Several studies have shown diosmin to be effective in relieving the pain and bleeding associated with the condition (10-13);
3. hesperidin, also derived from the fruit of Citrus aurantium. Hesperidin is a citrus bioflavonoid which promotesincreased venous tone. It is believed to have vasculoprotective, venotonic and anti-hypertensive effects. These multiple properties make it a useful substance for helping to reduce haemorrhoid problems(14-16) ;
4. troxerutin extracted from the flowers of Sophora japonica, also known as the Japanese pagoda tree. Part of the oxerutin family, this flavonol is used for helping to protect blood vessels and combat haemorrhoid problems. According to some studies, it also plays a role in fighting the generation of free radicals associated with a high-cholesterol diet (17-20).

What are the benefits offered by Hemo Comfort?

All the compounds in this supplement act synergistically to help combat problem haemorrhoids.

Firstly, the aescin in horse chestnut, and the hesperidin work together to help invigorate venous circulation, lower blood pressure and reduce excessive haemorrhoid dilation (and thus size) (21-23).

Hemo Comfort deliberately combines specially-selected venotonic flavonoids namely diosmin, hesperidin and troxerutin) which have proved highly effective at helping to reduce the oedema, thrombosis, bleeding and pain specific to this condition (24).

How should this natural anti-haemorrhoid supplement be taken?

To benefit from Hemo Comfort’s excellent properties, take 4 vegetarian capsules a day with a glass of water.
