Description

Progressive Health’s Avatrol is an all-natural supplement specifically formulated for hemorrhoid symptom management. This potent formula contains a synergistic blend of clinically proven ingredients such as horse chestnut, butcher’s broom, bilberry, oat fiber and cascara sagrada. Avatrol may be taken to relieve and prevent hemorrhoid symptoms and promote circulatory and gastrointestinal (GI) health.

Hemorrhoids are common in men and women. Hemorrhoids refer to swollen and inflamed veins in the soft tissues around the anus or inside the lower rectum. The most common cause of hemorrhoids is a low-fiber diet. A low fiber diet causes decreased stool bulk, constipation and straining during bowel movements. Hemorrhoids can form when intra-abdominal pressure increases from straining during defecation or from lack of stool bulk. Other factors that may cause hemorrhoids include aging, pregnancy, laxative abuse, liver disease and heart disorders.

Research shows that the botanicals horse chestnut, butcher’s broom and bilberry can promote circulation through the veins and support and strengthen the walls of the veins. Horse chestnut contains a saponin known as aescin, which has anti-inflammatory properties and reduces swelling (edema). Butcher's Broom contains the flavonoid rutin that strengthens capillaries. Bilberry contains the flavonoid anthocyanosides, potent antioxidants that protect and maintain venous strength and function. 

A high-fiber diet including the use of natural plant fibers such as oat fiber, can be an effective treatment and prevention of hemorrhoids. Oat fiber has been used as a bulking agent to improve stool consistency and decrease the risk of constipation. Oat has also been used as a remedy for other GI problems including diverticulitis, irritable bowel syndrome and gastritis.

Avatrol also contains the herb cascara sagrada. This potent botanical is primarily used as a mild, stimulant laxative for the treatment of constipation and prevention of hemorrhoids.
