The main component of horse chestnut is a substance that is part of the group of triterpene glycosides - escin. It is this component that stimulates the production of hormones by the adrenal cortex and increases the number of prostaglandins in the walls of blood vessels. As a result of these processes, a venotonic and capillaroprotective effect occurs.
Aescin normalizes the process of contraction of smooth muscles located in the walls of blood vessels, resulting in a decrease in their fragility, intensification of metabolic processes in tissues, and improvement of the state of capillaries. The ability of this active substance to reduce the activity of lysosomal enzymes and block the cleavage of mucopolysaccharides also favors the manifestation of capillary protective properties.
