OverviewVenous Stasis Ulcer VSU Kare® - 60 tablets - 60 day supply ConcernsAccording to the American College of Phlebology, epidemiologic studies have found that the prevalence of leg ulceration in adults, either active or healed, is about 1-2%. This is quite a number, suggesting that there are some 3 million to 6 million adults in the United States with venous stasis ulcers (venous ulcers). Depending on the study, they are 1.5 to 3 times more common in women than in men. They occur rarely before the age of forty and are found in as many as 3.4 % of patients older than 80 years of age. Venous stasis ulcers have been diagnosed and treated in patients as young as 20 years old! Venous stasis ulcers are not only debilitating but costly. In one U.S. study, the cost per year per patient with a venous stasis ulcer exceeds $ 40,000. The total impact on the healthcare system is over 1 billion dollars per year. Very rarely are patients able to work as these open wounds require constant care and cause significant disability. Over 80 % of patients with venous stasis ulcers have limited mobility. According to studies reported in the medical literature, in terms of quality of life, the open wounds cause more concern for patients than symptoms of pain, itching, anxiety, social isolation and reduced ability to perform their daily routine. At least, these wounds require daily or twice daily wound dressing changes. In advanced healthcare environments and systems, patients with venous stasis ulcers are seen by home health care nurses at least once weekly. Physicians who are specialized in wound care also supervise the evolution of these healing wounds once monthly and more frequently when they are infected or have significant necrotic tissue. A variety of etiologies can cause leg ulcers, but the majority of patients with venous stasis ulcers have venous reflux disease. It is estimated that venous reflux disease is 5-7 TIMES more common than arterial insufficiency, and can be considered an endemic disease.
SolutionsPatients with venous insufficiency can wear stockings to help support the failing valves and/or have veins stripping or endovenous ablation procedures such as VenaCure EVLT or VNUS Closure. No matter which treatment option is chosen, compression stockings need to be worn to reduce the likelihood of developing more vein problems in the future. However, a recent study by the Cochrane Collaboration stated that the objective of their investigational study was based on the premise that "conservative therapy of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) consists largely of compression treatment. However, this often causes discomfort and has been associated with poor compliance. Therefore, oral drug treatment is an attractive option". Their research demonstrated that "there was an improvement in CVI related signs and symptoms with horse chestnut extract compared with placebo. According to their analysis of the published literature, "leg pain was assessed in seven placebo-controlled trials. Six of these trials reported a significant reduction of leg pain in the horse chestnut extract groups compared with the placebo groups, while another study reported a statistically significant improvement compared with baseline". The meta analysis of these trials in effect demonstated that "horse chestnut extract may be as effective as treatment with compression stockings. Adverse events were usually mild and infrequent". The Cochrane Collaboration is a very prestigious research group with a lot of weight being attributed to these types of practice guideline recommendations. Uberceuticals is not affiliated with the Cochrane Collaboration. Features and BenefitsSuperficial venous reflux and perforator venous reflux are involved in most patients with venous stasis ulcers and those with recalcitrant and recurrent ulceration. Two Board Certified Phlebologists (Vein Specialists) and a Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon have developed this proprietary blend of phytoceuticals that treat the underlying problem associated with the development of venous stasis ulcers, which is chronic venous insufficiency (CVI). VSU Kare® protects venous valves from the destructive effects of white blood cell induced inflammation and damage, leading to the venous physiology and wound milieu that favors accelerated healing. By enhancing the integrity of the microcirculation and lymphatic system, the individual components of VSU Kare® also have protective activity against the development of venous stasis ulcers. Active IngredientsDiosmin, Hesperidin, Grape Seed Extract and Rutin (proprietary doses and combination) which is trademarked with patent pending. Additional InformationUberceuticals® formulas are proprietary, meaning that the herbs and minerals are compounded to our specifications and patented in a manner that cannot be used or duplicated by other companies or third party manufacturers. Other lesser brands may formulate products with similar ingredients, but the ratios of ingredients in our product are clinically tested and cannot be duplicated. Uberceuticals® is the Leader in Vein Care Science. |
Customer Reviews
The recent addition of VSU Kare® to my regimen of supplements as recommended by Dr Karamanoukian is exactly what I needed. I am currently on the Veinamin® product and read about the bioflavonoids on an internet site and started using VSU Kare®. It has prevented the recurrent ulcers that I have suffered from for years. Even my dermatologist was surprised as to how good the venous eczema healed after I started taking VSU Kare®. It seems to reduce the oozing from the skin once there is skin breakdown and allows my skin to heal quickly.

I have been in and out of wound care centers for a stubborn wound in the leg which they call a venous ulcer. The VSU Kare® was recommended to me by the wound care physician as an 'adjuvant' supplement and I have been amazed as to how fast it healed. After 30 days we started noticing less weeping from the venous ulcer and within 2 months it healed. I think that it also got rid of the excessive swelling in my legs.
Fred O - Orchard Park, NY
I have used VSU Kare to help with my venous ulcer. All I can say is that I suffered with an ulcer for 2 years before I saw Dr K and started using this product. It helped heal my ulcer and kept me out of wound care centers three times a week which cost me bundles without help. VSU Kare is excellent for venous ulcers.
Harriet S - Lewiston, NY
A plastic surgeon recommended that I get a skin graft for my ulcer and I was reluctant to have surgery for this venous stasis ulcer. I tried compression treatment and VSU Kare® and after 2.5 months it was healed. The product did not interfere with any medications that I am taking and also helped relieve a lot of leg swelling. VSU Kare® has been a life saver for my venous ulcer.
Roger E - Amherst, NY
I was sent to see a general surgeon who debrided my leg wound and created an ulcer that would not heal for the longest time. I used VSU Kare and it helped with the swelling and helped contract and heal this venous ulcer. I totally believe in this product and recommend it highly.
Kevin A - Springville, NY
Simply put, terrific product. I have purchased this product for my aunt who has suffered from venous ulcers on and off for years. She has had all types of wound care at wound centers and finally started VSU Kare® and has had not only relief in her legs but healing of her ulcers to tiny scabs. The money saved from repeated visits to doctors and wound specialists and the time saved waiting in doctor offices is unbelievable.
