Thanks you ladies for posting that the Lessman 1/16 TSV is Circulation and Vein Support.

Can you tell me how you take these capsules?  Do you take 2 at a time?  Just once a day or 2x a day?

I have been taking 1 in the AM ... but that is not enough.

Last winter I got an infection in my leg spent some time in the hospital... then had a life threatening reaction to the antibiotics and then wound up on IV antibiotics for several weeks.  My infectious deisease specialist said afterwards she was not sure I was going to make it.

the problem is the leg is now swollen.  I have had test after test and seen doctor after doctor.  No definitive medical reason could be found (yet).

I was hoping these might help with the swelling.

I take pills a 2 day, together, in the morning.  On days I fly, I take 4.  2 in the morning and 2 more before the flight.

If it's a cross country flight, I take 2 doses the day before and the day of.

I had ordered these a few years ago and hoped this product would help with my circulation problems in my feet and legs. Two days after starting to take these I started to feel dizzy, but ignored this.  A few days later it got so bad that I checked on the ingredients and read that in very rare cases  two of the ingredients could cause dizziness so I stopped taking the pills.  I got better every day, but it took about two weeks to get everything out of my system.

I am taking a number of other Lessman products and they all agree with me.

Key ingredient here is Diosmin, you find many other Diosmin supplements for a lot less money. Future Biotics makes a very good one.

@free-spirit, I take one capsule in the morning and one it the evening. I take most of my supplements in divided doses.

I'm in my late 50s and I'm fortunate that my calves don't generally swell up unless I'm doing 6-14 hours of manual labor or housework at a stretch. Then they definitely do help.

I take them because I bruise very easily (it's genetic, my mom and sister bruises even more easily). The active ingredients in these capsules (diosmin, in particular) help keep the blood vessels more flexible. More flexible blood vessels translates into less bruising. 

My body is unusual in that I usually see adults from supplements in a few days (on occasion, 10 minutes, 3 hours, or 8 hours after I take the very first supplement). 

For my bruising I take Andrew's Circulation & Vein Support as well as his Glucosamine/Chondroitin. -- In each case, it took close to 5 months (lol, an eternity for me!) to see the full results. By using these two supplements I have probably reduced the length and severity of my constant bruising by 70% (i.e. it's only 30% as sever as it was before I started taking these two supplements).-- In my family, we're also all klutzes and I'm considered to be the "coordinated one".

Hi, Clem. I've been taking them for a couple years now and have had no negative effect from them. I might suggest to take them with more food and never on an empty stomach. I take them b/c my legs feel so heavy, and I can feel the circulation is poor bc they get cold.

AL and his staff are so helpful; they might have been able to tell you what was giving you trouble. They're very very helpful. Give them a call if only out of curiosity.

I've always taken 2 at the same time. In the morning. I've had wonderful success using them this way. 

I started using C&VS years ago, after having a blood clot in my leg. There were a few different things that could have contributed to my getting a clot.

Anyway, I thought this might be a good preventative support supplement. What I did not expect was that it would cause my aching feet & legs issues (after being on my feet for just a bit) to completely disappear. What a wonderful surprise that was. Interestingly, the aching feet/legs problems did not return when I ran out of the supplement & did not reorder for a while.

Andrew's latest blog....

CIRCULATION AND VEIN SUPPORT 
FOR HEALTHY LEGS. 
NO MORE BIBLE REFERENCES FOR ME.

 Lots of great comments and questions following last week’s article. I will answer many of those questions this weekend and in an upcoming Live Online Event that will be dedicated to your questions. I will also heed that old saying about not discussing religion, since apparently, some folks had issues with some references in my prior article. I was only referencing a couple of popular expressions and words of wisdom that may have their origins in the Bible.  Specifically, I believe that “peace on earth and good will to our fellow man” is much like Luke 2:14 and as far as “God helping those who help themselves,” that is often mistakenly attributed to the Bible, but that’s because it espouses a philosophy of humility, discipline and self-responsibility, which are present throughout the Bible.  Anyhow, sorry if my use of the above quotes offended anyone. The world is a challenging place and I was simply trying to use language we often hear to remind and inspire us about peace on earth, good will, humility and self-responsibility.

I will discuss our Today’s Special in a moment, but first, I have received your comments and I will be sure to devote adequate time to our key products this weekend.  I also noticed a few comments expressing disappointment at Glucosamine-Chondroitin not being a Today’s Special. Not to worry. It is effectively a Today’s Special, since it available at last year’s Today’s Special pricing (our best pricing ever).  Also, I have heard questions about Essential-1’s absence, but that is because it will be our Today’s Special in just 6 weeks during a live factory remote from Nevada.  As far as our Essential Omega-3 and our Ultimate Eye, I will only speak about them briefly, since they will both be Today’s Specials this spring.

Our Today’s Special this evening (midnight Eastern Time) and throughout the day on Sunday is a product with extensive clinical support.  I knew it would be popular when I introduced it almost 20 years ago, but I had no idea just how popular.  Doctors in Europe have been prescribing its key ingredient for the circulation and veins in their patients’ legs for at least a couple of decades before we did the work to bring it to America in the 1990s. Simply stated, Circulation and Vein Support is a product designed to treat the human condition, since the gradual and natural deterioration of the circulation and veins in our legs is just part of walking upright and being human.  It tends to happen so gradually that we do not really notice the large impact it can have on the quality of our lives.  We dismiss the discomfort as just another unpleasant part of the normal aging process while also concluding that there is nothing at all we can do about it.  We just assume that our uncomfortable legs and our unsightly veins are an unavoidable fact of our life, our work and the normal aging process.  It absolutely does not have to be that way.  I encourage you to read the reviews for our Circulation and Vein Support for Healthy Legs.

Although Circulation and Vein Support for Healthy Legs is a neutral sounding name, its reviews are anything but neutral. They are emphatic, well-written and inspiring. We are not talking about a few dozen very positive reviews, but more than 1,500 passionate, perfect 5-Star Reviews and over 90 percent of the 1,800 total reviews praise the powerful benefits of this product.  This consistently positive response is predictable given the abundance of clinical science, but folks still seem to be surprised by its efficacy and impact.  Best of all, we are not talking about a costly drug with warnings and side effects, but a plant-based formula with no risks at all.  This year we offer our largest, economy size ever at 750 capsules, which at two capsules daily, will last until next year’s Today’s Special.  I will share more information later about the science on this unique formula, including why some folks call it “Circulation H.”  Lets see if you can figure out why. I will just say it helps with issues with “exit” tissues and I will try my best to politely discuss this potentially indelicate topic during my shows.  See you soon.

Best of Health.

Andrew

@bebe777 lol I am a fellow bruiser too! I have bruised easily all my life, just how it is. Now that I am back in the gym using all the equipment, you should see my legs- looks like I got beat with a stick! Even the slightest little bump will cause me to bruise. And on my fair skin, it is really noticeable. Does this product help with preventing varicose veins? On my mom's side of the family, all the women have pretty noticeable varicose veins and I want to try to prevent that as much as possible. Many years ago I use to take horsetail for that but for some reason stopped. Now that I am older, I am starting to think about it again. Just want to preserve my legs as much as possible. I am kind of fond of them the way they are. Thanks, my friend.

HI @HappyDaze, I wasn't sure if you would be interested in this particular supplement -- an I don't want to push supplements at you *s* -- but I thought you might want to listen to Andrew's presentations simply because he's the most knowledgeable person I know of about supplements. lol, I call him "the Bill Gates of Supplements" and I really believe that. 

Essentially, most folks take (Circulation & Vein Support (C&V) to stop their calves from swelling if they have to be on their feet for hours and hours (nurses, teachers, stores sales people, etc.).  

C&V primarily helps to tone the blood vessels as Andrew puts it. He describes how, if stop the water from coming out of a garden hose, you'll see a big bulge in the garden hose. That's sort of what happens as the blood in the bottom of your feet tries to make it's way back up to the heart. It's easy going down -- due to gravity and the pressure of the heart -- but a lot more difficult getting back up... and that puts pressure on the blood vessels. 

As you get older, this pressure causes the blood vessels to leak fluid which makes your ankles swell after a hard day of work. -- The C&V tones the blood vessels and makes the blood vessels stronger to help get the blood back up to the heart (which reduces ankle swelling). 

Four to five years ago, when Andrew was describing this process --  and adding all sorts of additional info with his charts -- it occurred to me that this might help to reduce my genetic propensity to bruise (like my mom and sister). Along with glucosamine/chondriotin, over a period of 5 months, I reduced my swelling significantly. 

That said, I just don't think that C&V would be effective for varicose veins because the permanent damage has already been done. -- From how I understand the general process, I think it might help combat additional varicose veins in the future -- simply because it tones the blood vessels, veins & capillaries -- but I couldn't say for sure. 

Does that help? 

I hope you are doing well, my friend. Please send my best wishes to your husband.
