Horse Chestnut Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Aesculus hippocastanum seeds, primarily produced via solvent extraction and ethanol precipitation to concentrate active triterpene glycosides. The core marker compound is aescin, with molecular formula C57H86O26 and CAS No. 1409-85-6.
Raw extracts contain toxic esculin; only decorticated, purified grades are suitable for human use. Contraindicated in pregnancy and severe renal impairment. Store in cool, dry conditions below 25°C to maintain aescin stability.
