Summary of Our Blooms Horse Chestnut Review
Blooms offers a product with a significantly high dosage of its main ingredient, Horse Chestnut Extract. The pricing we found on a third party website seems quite reasonable at around $19. We have a number of criticisms however. The product is not supported by a manufacturer's guarantee. In addition the manufacturer does not offer the product for sale from its own website which is frustrating because you have to go elsewhere to see where it is being sold. The dosage of its main ingredient horse chestnut extract is alarmingly high and may lead to unwanted side effects which are not mentioned by the manufacturer. The dose is 3000mg of horse chestnut extract versus the market standard of between 400 and 600mg per day. There are no bulk-buy purchase discounts nor new customer incentives provided by the manufacturer. The product is not supported by substantial positive customer reviews and therefore we cannot gauge its efficacy. The manufacturer does not stipulate whether they adhere to cGMP guidelines. There is no assurance from the manufacturer that the product is made in an FDA certified facility, that its ingredients are non GMO, that it is free from fillers and binders, that it is certified organic and free from artificial colorings, preservatives and chemicals. For all these reasons, we cannot recommend this product as a varicose vein treatment. Look for an alternative with safer ingredients, clear dosage instructions, and a solid guarantee.
