Pharmacological properties
Asklezan A is a dietary supplement (dietary supplement) designed to improve venous blood flow in the lower extremities. Its main active ingredient is the biologically active fraction of hazel.
The dietary supplement normalizes microcirculation in the lower extremities, eliminates the feeling of fatigue in the legs, improves venous tone and promotes the intensification of blood circulation in case of varicose veins. The tool is used to get rid of puffiness in the lower extremities, spider veins and cyanotic (cyanotic) spots.
Hazel leaf extract, which is the active component of Asclezan A, effectively eliminates unpleasant symptoms in capillary hemorrhages, varicose veins, thrombophlebitis, and trophic leg ulcers.
Vitamin C improves capillary permeability and maintains capillary elasticity. It also plays the role of an antioxidant by binding free radicals generated by redox reactions.
Dihydroquercetin is a natural bioflavonoid obtained by extraction from Siberian larch. The substance reduces blood viscosity, prevents the formation of blood clots, provides increased strength and elasticity of blood vessels and capillaries, normalizes blood microcirculation and permeability of the vascular walls. Dihydroquercetin makes body tissues more resistant to the destructive effects of high blood sugar concentrations, reduces the risk of developing diabetes mellitus, and also alleviates the symptoms of an already diagnosed disease. The compound stabilizes the functioning of the nervous system and promotes the activation of the processes taking place in it.
Rutin has a prophylactic and therapeutic effect on veins, ensures a quick stop of bleeding, and helps to seal the walls of blood vessels and connective tissue. This substance is used in the treatment of hemorrhoids, varicose veins, etc. Rutin has a positive effect on the condition of the skin in trophic skin lesions, increases venous tone, normalizes peripheral blood flow, reduces capillary permeability for plasma proteins, lowers blood viscosity and enhances its fibrinolytic activity …

Reviews about Asklesan A
Currently, reviews of Asklesan A range from enthusiastic to severely negative. Many patients note a significant cooling effect of a cream or gel, which manifests itself quickly and brings significant relief and quick elimination of puffiness (and not only on the legs), as well as an affordable price. When using dietary supplements, pain and a feeling of heaviness in the legs disappear, and the veins become less pronounced during external examination.
Asklezan A cream and gel are well absorbed and have a pleasant smell. Some patients claim that for the successful treatment of varicose veins, capsules or tablets must be drunk for at least 3 weeks in a row. However, in a number of patients, there was no improvement in their condition after starting the use of dietary supplements. Phlebologists are quite skeptical about the drug, claiming that it is able to relieve unpleasant symptoms, but does not promote vascular regeneration, which requires the use of more effective means.

The price of Asklezan A gel in most pharmacies ranges from 112 to 125 rubles. Anti-varicose cream can be purchased for 115-130 rubles. The cost of Asclezan A capsules is 170–190 rubles (36 pcs per pack), and the cost of tablets is 150–170 rubles.
