Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Chrysanthellum americanum is used traditionally to support the capillaries and vascular health, particularly in folk medicine systems in Central and South America, as well as parts of Africa and Europe. Its use is largely based on empirical, historical knowledge rather than established scientific studies. Traditionally, extracts of the plant have been consumed to help with conditions believed to be related to fragile capillaries, such as easy bruising, varicose veins, and hemorrhoids.

Phytochemical analyses have identified compounds in Chrysanthellum americanum, such as flavonoids and saponins, which are generally associated with vascular protection in other plants. A few small clinical studies have explored its effects. For example, a limited number of trials in France in the 1980s investigated its use for chronic venous insufficiency, suggesting some benefit, but these studies had methodological limitations and have not been widely replicated or validated. No major meta-analyses or systematic reviews are available.

In summary, the use of Chrysanthellum americanum to support capillary health is justified primarily by traditional use and some preliminary research. However, robust scientific validation is lacking, and the evidence is best considered as suggestive but not conclusive.
