Postpartum Varicose
Veins: Supplementation with Pycnogenol or Elastic Compression-A 12-Month
Follow-Up - Int J Angiol. 2017 Mar;26(1):12-19 -
"At 3 and 6 months in the Pycnogenol group the number of veins and
incompetent sites were lower. At 6 months there were 13.3% of patients with
edema in controls versus 3.2% in the Pycnogenol group. Spider veins
decreased in Pycnogenol patients. Cramps and other minor symptoms were less
common in the Pycnogenol group. In both groups there was a significant
improvement at 6 months with better results in the Pycnogenol group. The
need for treatment was limited with a decreased need for sclerotherapy,
surgery, and conservative treatments in the Pycnogenol group. The overall
satisfaction was higher among Pycnogenol patients, and compliance was
optimal" - See

Pine Bark Extract Found Effective To Naturally Improve Varicose And Spider
Vein - prnewswire.com, 10/8/14 - "This study
confirms the findings of prior studies that have shown Pycnogenol® effective
in strengthening capillary walls making them more resistant against pressure
which consequently lowers the release of fluids into tissues. Pycnogenol®
has been shown to exert a direct effect on the vein wall. It increases vein
tonicity by improving vein resistance and vein elasticity. The extract
reduces acute venous swelling and improves venous insufficiency"
