The product may contain some of the following ingredients, according to some Web-based retailers: Purified Water, Witch Hazel, Ginger, Motherwort, Gotu Kola Extract, Horse Chestnut Extract, Cayenne, Gingko Biloba, Hawthorn, Bilberry, Beeswax, Vegetable Thickener, Almond Oil, Organic Jojoba Oil, Essential Oils of Benzoin, Peppermint, Ginger and Calendula.

The company claims that this topical solution may be “all natural, vegetarian, handmade, chemical free, cruelty free, never tested on animals” and “organic when possible.” Some health-conscious individuals may be drawn in by such claims, in addition to the assertion that the product may not contain any artificial stimulants, chemicals or preservatives.

We believe that a consumer product should be safe to use – especially those that are applied directly to the skin – but a company’s claims about its products may not be the most reliable source of information. Companies may naturally try to position their products in the best light, but in many cases, these products may not be backed by concrete evidence.

For example, some products have been shown in clinical studies to be effective for reducing the symptoms of varicose and spider veins, with some even capable of protecting against its future development. Clinical studies may be especially important for determining what an individual should expect in the long run from their experience with the product.

Although the company claims that ingredients like Horse Chestnut and Witch Hazel may be good for the skin, we are afraid they may not be as effective as advertised for a comprehensive range of support for unsightly vascular disorders. They may not even be backed by half as many consumer testimonials as some of the more reputable alternatives on the market.

For instance, select products based on Diosmin 95® have been shown in study after study to improve the conditions of varicose and spider veins in both women and men. This natural ingredient was only available overseas with doctor’s orders, but today may be available in the U.S. without a prescription. Those who have suffered for years may no longer have to put up with it.

• May be applied directly onto the affected area
• May contain basic extracts, like Gingko Biloba

• Discounts on volume orders may not be available
• The formula may not have undergone clinical testing
• 100 percent product guarantees may not be available
• Does not contain Diosmin 95®

Herbal Choice V-Serum may contain a number of naturally derived ingredients, but we are afraid the vast majority of these may not be ideal for addressing the most serious of vascular disorders on the legs and elsewhere on the body. Men and women looking for relief from unsightly varicose and spider veins may have to look elsewhere for the truly promising supplements.

It may be difficult at times to take the word of companies – no matter how promising a product may seem. In these cases, we have found that 100 percent money-back guarantees may be invaluable. This way, an individual does not have to make any commitments to the product, since they may simply return it for a full refund if they are unsatisfied for any reason.
