Strange, I would expect better circulation from someone who exercises.

I know, RIGHT?!?? My diet is pretty healthy, too. It's terrible. I think I was beaten with the unhealthy stick when I was born. =__=

I'm taking MSM to help my hair grow faster, although I'm not sure how well it works for keeping it stronger. I use Profectiv Mega Growth lotion to keep my hair from breaking, and it seems to definitely help. I plan on trying their deep conditioner, too. I'm so sick of short hair!

Yeah. I haven't seen any actual evidence of results out of anyone either, just reviews and medicos saying that Butcher's Broom works best for general circulation problems while Horse Chestnut is more for "venotonic effect, vascular protection, anti-inflammatory and free radical scavenging properties" and "chronic venous insufficiency" possibly as a result of "post-thrombotic syndrome".

The lattermost certainly is something that many of us might need to concern ourselves about - estrogen supplementation is very strongly linked with deep-vein thrombosis, which is the event that can trigger the long lasting damage of a post-thrombotic syndrome.

I really don't think I have had a deep-vein thrombosis though I could be on my way if I don't do something to help my circulation NOW.

I never really looked too much into it, I just know HC is popular for NBE and butt growth, and is great for lower-body circulation. Good to see that it helps prevent against DVT, as I currently have one. Exercise seemed to help before, but I got sick and couldn't go to the gym for a week or two, and it came back again. So hopefully HC along with exercise will help keep it at bay and over time break it down.

As for topical dark circle products, I use Freeman Vita-K for Dark Circles. It works in about a month and works better and better over time. For anyone who can't get rid of their dark circles any other way. I love feeling it tighten my skin as it dries. Makes me feel so young! Haha! I've mentioned using this product before. Now that I have HC, I only use it every once in a while.


I don't mind the thread being hijacked, I know I've been gone for quite a while. ^^;
