3 supplements that stop unsightly bruising
It seems like those ugly bruises come up when your skin even just brushes against something. And, it gets worse every year.
Unfortunately, easy bruising becomes more common with age.
This is because as you get older, your skin gets thinner, and that pad of fat that cushions your blood vessels, protecting them from those bumps that cause capillaries to burst and produce ugly purple bruises, also thins.
And if you’re a woman, you’re even more likely to suffer from easy bruising and its unsightly results.
To make matters worse, those prescriptions your doctor has given you to treat your other conditions are likely increasing your chance of bruising as well.
You see, aspirin and anticoagulant medications like Coumadin and even antibiotics can reduce your blood’s ability to clot. As a result, bleeding from capillary damage from even a light bump might take longer than usual to stop — which allows enough blood to leak out to cause a bigger bruise.
And, those topical and oral steroids — you’re taking for your allergies, asthma and eczema — cause your skin to thin, making it easier to bruise.
If you’re tired of those deep purple and red splotches that make your skin look beat up and older than it should, there is an answer… and it’s easier than you might think.

Grab these for skin that looks younger
You can use three supplements to strengthen your blood vessels, stop the bruising and get skin that looks younger and healthier.
#1 – Vitamin C
Even minor deficiencies in Vitamin C can result in bruising. Eat more vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, and take at least 500 mg of a high-quality supplement once or twice daily to prevent bruising.
# 2 – Rutin
Most people have never even heard of rutin, but it’s a powerhouse for maintaining the strength of your capillaries and overcoming easy bruising. Rutin is found in apple peel, citrus fruit, black tea, and even buckwheat bran.
In one study, patients suffering from pigmented purpura — those deep purple bruises that get progressively worse — who took 50 mg of rutin two times per day along with 500 mg of vitamin C twice a day were completely healed of their bruising within just four weeks.
# 3 – Hesperidin
Like rutin, hesperidin is a bioflavonoid found in the peels of citrus fruits. Along with rutin and vitamin C, taking hesperidin can dramatically reduce bruising and strengthen your capillaries.
To get the most benefits from all three of these skin savers, you may want to try 400 to 500 mg of vitamin C and a combination of hesperidin and rutin, equating to a total of 400 mg, to your routine.
All three of these supplements are easy to find at your natural food store or online at sites like Amazon.
Taking vitamin C, rutin and hesperidin will strengthen your blood vessels and stop the bruising that leaves you with unsightly marks. Your skin will look younger and healthier, and you’ll feel more confident.
Just remember, if you are on medications for blood conditions, it’s a good idea to discuss any supplements with your doctor that may have an effect.
