Oedema
The recommendation for Swollen Legs covers seven nutrients for acute treatment — most importantly Grape Seed Extract, Magnesium and Vitamin K2. You will find the intake and role of each nutrient in the overview.
Recommended nutrients & intake
| Active ingredient | Intake | Priority | Note |

| Magnesium | 2 capsule(s) of 200 mg | Primary | Take with food spread over the day. Important to vitamin D. Avoid Mg-citrates & Mg-oxides. Attention: capsule size refers to the content of elemental magnesium and not to the total of magnesium salts! |

| Joint oil with CBD | 25 drop(s) of 25 mg | Primary | Only for external use! Drops from the pipette. |

Treat acutely or prevent?
Acute treatment
This recommendation is designed for acute treatment: the nutrients are taken until the symptoms clearly subside — usually over several weeks. If symptoms persist, the further duration of intake belongs in medical hands.
