Other Information
VASCULERA (diosmiplex) consists of a specially formulated proprietary blend of micronized, highly purified diosmin glycoside in combination with alkaline granules, alka4-complex. Diosmin glycoside manages venous inflammation, accumulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes, platelets and other thrombotic components as well as edema, caused by a deterioration of venous vessel walls. Alka4-complex works by buffering stomach acid and managing blood pH to affect local metabolic acidosis in veins.
Diosmin Glycoside
Each VASCULERA tablet contains 600 mg of diosmin glycoside (diosmin), a micronized, highly purified flavonoid fraction (from citrus) with hesperidoside constituents. In clinical trials, this level of intake has been shown to manage chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). Diosmin is chemically described as (7-[[6-O-(6-Deoxy-α-L-mannopyranosyl)-ß-D-glucopyranosyl]oxy]-5-hydroxy-2-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxyphenyl)-4H-1-benzopyran-4-one) with a molecular weight of 608.5. The empirical formula for diosmin is C28H32O15. The structural formula is:
Alka4-complex
Each VASCULERA tablet contains 30 mg of a proprietary, structured, highly alkaline agglomeration of reactive magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2, molecular weight 58.3), potassium chloride (KCl, molecular weight 74.6) and potassium hydroxide (KOH, molecular weight 56.1) held apart from each other in a matrix of calcium carbonate (CaCO3, molecular weight 100.1), microcrystalline cellulose and croscarmellose sodium. The agglomerated particle matrix has the following approximate characteristics:
Other Ingredients
VASCULERA contains the following other ingredients as fillers and excipients: microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, croscarmellose sodium, povidone, silicone dioxide, and water. Tablets do not contain fructose, glucose, sucrose, lactose, gluten, maltodextrin, tree nuts, peanuts, or flavors. VASCULERA is suitable for vegans.
Medical Food
The U.S. Congress defined “medical food” in the Orphan Drug Act and Amendments of 1988 as “a food which is formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician, and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation.” VASCULERA has been developed, manufactured and labeled in accordance with the statutory definition of a medical food. VASCULERA is to be used only under a physician’s supervision.
Generally Recognized As Safe
The ingredients in VASCULERA are Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS). This is the statutory U.S. safety standard that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires of all ingredients added to food products. The standard for an ingredient to achieve GRAS status requires technical demonstration of non-toxicity and safety, general recognition of safety through widespread usage and agreement of that safety by experts in the field.
