The circulatory system in the human body is so incredibly structured that every new blood circulation takes place in just 20 seconds. At the same time, tissues of various organs have enough time to be saturated with oxygen and useful substances coming from food and give metabolic products to the blood. That is why it is necessary to closely monitor the health of blood vessels, which act as the “breadwinners” of the whole body.
How to maintain your health, what drugs to strengthen blood vessels exist? The answers to these questions can be found in this article. It should be noted right away that all the medicines mentioned below can be prescribed by a doctor only to adults, they are not used at all in pediatrics.
Causes of vascular weakness
It is regrettable, but according to the statistics of the disease of the cardiovascular system today they are firmly fixed in the leading positions in the ranking of the most dangerous and common pathologies. What caused this “popularity” and is it necessary in this case to take drugs to strengthen the walls of blood vessels? Or can you get along with proper nutrition?
A sedentary lifestyle, bad habits, an unbalanced diet, stress and poor-quality water slow down the blood flow every day, as a result of which the vessels are filled with cholesterol, and their walls are exhausted.
To protect yourself from such a terrible disease, you need to figure out how to prevent it and what drugs to strengthen the walls of blood vessels should be taken if the pathology has already overtaken.
Products for vessels
Today, many diseases can be cured by abandoning "harmful" products. In this case, it is not necessary to take any drugs to strengthen the blood vessels, you can just adjust your diet and thereby support the circulatory system.
First of all, you need to abandon fried and fatty mutton or pork in favor of boiled or stewed poultry and fish. But this does not mean that you do not need to eat meat, you just need to choose low-fat varieties.
Smoked meats, fatty cheeses and butter should be excluded from the diet. Of course, fats must be consumed for proper functioning of the body, but it is better to give preference to olive oils. In general, animal fats should be replaced with vegetable fats or their consumption should be limited to a minimum.
Patients in old age need less to eat flour, since it contains a lot of fats and sugar.
So that you do not have to take drugs to strengthen the vessels, you need to eat as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. These are exactly the products that can be consumed indefinitely.
Cereals from various cereals, beans, soybeans and lentils will be useful for vessels. Oddly enough, but it is in soy that contains all the necessary substances and mineral compounds from which the walls of blood vessels are built.
Rosehip broth and green tea are also excellent means for strengthening blood vessels. Preparations for the treatment of vascular fragility usually contain the same substances that are naturally found in these plants, and therefore they can help both in treatment and in prevention.
Of particular value to vessels are foods such as onions, eggplant, garlic, cucumbers, grapefruit, currants and aronia.
These fruits and vegetables contribute to the rejuvenation of the walls of blood vessels, their strengthening, normalize lipid metabolism. If you eat these products daily, you will not need drugs to strengthen the vessels .
Vitamins for blood vessels
Vitamin complexes play an invaluable role in the elasticity and strengthening of blood vessels. Often, we simply forget that even with the most carefully planned nutrition, the body is not enough of certain vitamin substances and ignore the recommendations of specialists to take the simplest vitamin complexes in the spring and autumn. And very vain, because vitamin P in combination with ascorbic acid is an excellent tool for strengthening blood vessels. Preparations with their content are required both for the prevention of the disease and for the treatment of even the most advanced forms of the disease.
Folk recipes for strengthening vessels
Folk wisdom, which for centuries has accumulated the secrets of health, did not disregard the vessels.

It is better to do this in a thermos so that the medicine can well infuse overnight. Drink ¾ cup three times a day such a medicine to strengthen blood vessels. Preparations with vitamins taken in parallel will help to achieve a better result.

Horse chestnut preparations for strengthening vessels
Horse chestnut preparations, which reduce blood coagulation, strengthen capillaries and veins, and prevent blood clots, will become a good tool for strengthening blood vessels. The extract of this plant is very often included as a main component in drugs that dissolve blood clots.

You need to drink the drug 30-40 drops four times a day for about a month and a half.
Creams for strengthening the vessels of the legs
Horse chestnut is always the first in the list of medicines if strengthening of the vessels of the legs is required. Topical preparations in the form of horse chestnut creams and gels are also very popular and, most importantly, effective. For example, these are such products as Venoton gel, Normoven cream and Venozol cream. These drugs strengthen the walls of blood vessels and do an excellent job with varicose veins and blood clots.
Vascular strengthening preparations
Not many will be able to abandon their usual lifestyle by eliminating the above-mentioned vascular harmful foods, abandoning bad habits and protecting themselves from stressful situations. And if the first two points can still be minimized somehow, then it is unlikely to be avoided from daily stresses, which are one of the first enemies of our vessels. And here, of course, you will have to take drugs aimed at strengthening the walls of blood vessels.
And here, of course, you need to remember that the medicine should be prescribed by a specialist, because self-medication can be dangerous.
All medicines, the action of which is aimed at strengthening the veins and blood vessels, can be divided into several groups:
- Vitamin complexes (Vitrum-Cardio, dietary supplement Antiox).
- Calcium antagonists (Isoptil drug).
- Antispasmodics (drugs "Cavinton" and "Tanakan").
- Medicines that increase the elasticity of the walls of blood vessels (the drug "Ascorutin").
- Calcium channel blockers (Cinnarizine preparation).
This diversity is due to the fact that the human body has a mass of veins, blood vessels and capillaries of different diameters, which depends on which system they serve. And therefore, the impact on them should be different.
Only a doctor can say which drug of the non-vitamin complex is suitable for the patient. Otherwise, you can get very serious complications. Next, medications aimed at strengthening veins and blood vessels, vitamin-type preparations will be considered.
