Hemorrhoids / Bleeding Piles Complex 450 mg
TerraVita
Overview
This product combines traditional botanical ingredients often associated with blood vessel health and anti-inflammatory properties. Horse chestnut has some evidence for venous insufficiency, which can be related to hemorrhoid symptoms. However, the efficacy of cayenne, white oak, and witch hazel in treating hemorrhoids specifically when taken orally is not as robustly supported by clinical trials as topical applications. The total dosage of 450mg for the blend means individual ingredient dosages might be insufficient for optimal effect, especially considering horse chestnut often requires standardized aescin amounts not specified here.
The Good
Utilizes Horse Chestnut, an ingredient with some evidence for improving venous health.
Contains astringent botanicals (Witch Hazel, White Oak) that may reduce inflammation and bleeding.
Convenient capsule form for ease of use.
The Bad
Total dose of 450mg for four active ingredients may lead to underdosing of individual components.
Lack of standardization for active compounds (e.g., aescin in Horse Chestnut) hinders efficacy assessment.
Oral efficacy of Witch Hazel and White Oak for hemorrhoids is less established compared to topical use.
