Calc. Fluor. stands for “Calcium Fluoride”, which compound has been invariably championed by many people for many purposes. Depending on the industry, some suppliers are selling Calcium Fluoride for anything from strengthening the bones (for instance, the teeth when used as part of toothpastes), to reducing piles, as exemplified above. New Era’s Calc. Fluor. contains 6X Calcium Fluoride, and is marketed as a “homeopathic” supplement.

Calcium Fluroide is an insoluble ionic compound of calcium and fluorine. It occurs naturally as the mineral fluorite (also called fluorspar), and it is the source of most of the world's fluorine. Its industrial usage ranges from iron ore processing industry, to semiconductor manufacturers. However, we could not find much evidence backing the claims that taking it in supplement form may reduce varicose and spider vein formation. Therefore, we are really skeptical that it may do anything to alleviate the problem many of us are seriously wishing to banish.

Since varicose and spider veins are said to be more common to women than men, the effects of such formations on a person’s lifestyle may be more profound among women. Some of us may even develop some unhealthy self-esteem problems; since varicose veins usually form in the legs, it may be difficult to walk around wearing a skirt. Furthermore, some of us may even hesitate to go to the public swimming pool or to the beach just because we feel really bad about our legs. Therefore, those serious about getting rid of them may wish to look at proven, pharmaceutical quality products.

• None

• May not do much to reduce appearance of varicose and spider veins
• No online testimonials on the specific product as of this review
• May be yet another hyped up compound without much benefits
• Product does not have official and exclusive website at time of review
• Does not have proven ingredients, like Diosmin 95®

It is no longer surprising to come across hype surrounding an ordinary compound. Almost any supplement industry has its share of compounds that are claimed to do many useful things. The claims may even attract a seasoned and educated individual. However, the dearth of scientific evidence backing such claims makes us believe they really may only be conventional wisdom. We believe more in ingredients that have been scientifically advanced and widely used.

Since varicose and spider veins are quite common problems, medical annals and research have already looked at them exhaustively. A direct benefit of such meticulous studies on the problem has been the tremendous growth in methods to reduce them. While surgical techniques may be an option, they may be expensive and potentially come with risk. Therefore, for many of us, trying a supplement with proven ingredients like, for instance, Diosmin 95®, which has already been used by millions in Europe, may be the answer. The best of products will usually come with a 100% product guarantee and will be FDA-approved.
