Life Extension Venotone Standardized Horse Chestnut Extract Review – Conclusion
There are some things we liked about Venotone Standardized Horse Chestnut Extract. Medical trials seem to suggest that the ingredients in Venotone can help to alleviate poor blood flow along with varicose veins and other chronic circulation problems. We like that there is a 30-day money back guarantee but it’s not so helpful if the guarantee only covers unopened bottles and is effectively worthless to the consumer. We like the product is all natural and contains no milk, egg, fish, peanuts, crustacean shellfish (lobster, crab, shrimp), soybeans, tree nuts, wheat, yeast, gluten, corn, or rice. It also contains no sugar, artificial sweeteners, flavors, or preservatives. Our concerns relate to its very minimal unopened bottle only return policy. Furthermore, aside from the warnings about how and who should take this supplement, there is no information about specific possible side effects. This is a big minus for us. For these reasons, we were unable to recommend this product.
