Pomactiv® Age is rich in procyanidols, which interact with connective tissue (collagen and elastin) surrounding the blood vessels; they ensure better stability of this structure and a protection against enzymatic degradations. This protective effect decreases the permeability of the vessels, and maintains their contractility aptitude.
The strong antioxidant power of Pomactiv® Age, partly due to quercetin compound (powerful antioxidant) protects efficiently the blood vessels against free radicals damages. Indeed, some recent studies have highlighted the free radicals influence in the mechanisms of venous troubles *.
