Deep Vein Thrombosis(Blood Clots)
1 of the 12 leading causes ofhigh blood pressure, heart attacks and strokes
Do you have blood clots?
Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs. The presence of a DVT can cause increased pressure in the affected vein, which can lead to an elevation in blood pressure. Additionally, if the DVT becomes dislodged and travels to the lungs, it can cause a condition called pulmonary embolism, which can lead to a sudden and severe drop in blood pressure.

Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) can have a number of effects on the body. The most immediate effect is the formation of a blood clot in a deep vein, usually in the legs. This can cause swelling, pain, and tenderness in the affected limb.
If the DVT becomes dislodged and causes a pulmonary embolism, it can be life-threatening and result in shortness of breath, chest pain, and a rapid heartbeat.
DVT also can cause long-term complications such as chronic venous insufficiency, which is characterized by pain, swelling, and skin changes in the affected limb.
In addition, DVT increases the risk of recurrent DVT and post-thrombotic syndrome, which is a condition characterized by chronic pain, swelling, and skin changes in the affected limb.
Prevention
There are several supplements that have been studied for their potential to help improve blood clots. These include:
Tikva has 10 nutrients that target blood clots
Below are clinical trials and research on these nutrients.
- Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that inhibits platelet aggregation and reduces oxidative stress in blood vessels, decreasing the risk of clot formation and deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
