Today we review Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream. A supplement to treat varicose veins and improve blood circulation. Horse Chestnut’s benefits are associated with a variety of constituents, but especially with a group of saponins collectively known as aescin.

Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream Review – Conclusion
There are a few things we liked about Planetary Herbals Horse Chestnut Cream. The ingredients seem to be all natural. The cream is absorbed by the skin and an alternative for those who are allergic to the horse chestnut herb or cannot take it in capsule form. There were some negatives too. There is no guarantee or product return policy which would question the manufacturer’s confidence in the success of this product. Customer reviews were mixed with some positives but also many negative feedback responses whether the cream helped them with varicose vein or circulation issues. Even though this product is not so expensive when bought in small quantities, it’s not clear at all if it provides any significant benefits in the long run. Lastly, the effectiveness of the product has not been scientifically or independently tested. Therefore, at this time we are unable to fully recommend this product.
Concise, honest reporting from Authority Reports.
