Twisted or enlarged veins near the skin’s surface may be a sign your veins are struggling to circulate blood properly.
4 Vitamins That Support Blood Flow and Vascular Health
These four vitamins play a powerful role in maintaining strong blood vessels and promoting better circulation — especially in your legs and feet.
1. Vitamin B3 ( Niacin) – Clears and Relaxes Arteries
Vitamin B3, also called niacin, boosts circulation by improving artery flexibility and reducing cholesterol buildup.
It can:
- Lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol
- Raise HDL (“good”) cholesterol
- Decrease plaque and clot risk
Found in: Chicken, salmon, eggs, almonds, brown rice
Daily goal: 14–16 mg from food. High-dose supplements should only be used under medical guidance.
2. Vitamin C – Strengthens Vessel Walls
Vitamin C helps build collagen, the protein that keeps arteries and veins strong and elastic.
It supports circulation by:
- Strengthening blood vessels
- Speeding up wound healing
- Reducing the appearance of varicose veins
- Acting as an antioxidant to protect against vascular damage
Top sources: Oranges, grapefruit, bell peppers, strawberries, kiwi, broccoli
3. Vitamin K – Regulates Flow and Prevents Hardening
Vitamin K — especially K2 — helps balance clotting while preventing calcium buildup in arteries.
Benefits include:
- Supporting healthy clotting
- Preventing stiff arteries
- Improving flexibility of blood vessels
K1 sources: Kale, spinach, parsley
K2 sources: Fermented foods, aged cheese, egg yolks, liver
4. Vitamin E – Protects Arteries
