Combined Effects of Diosmin, Hesperidin, Ruscus aculeatus, Ananas comosus, and Bromelain on Endothelial Function and Gut Barrier Integrity In Vitro.

The endothelium, once considered merely a vascular lining responsible for selective permeability to water and electrolytes, is now recognised as a key regulator of vascular tone through the release of mediators such as oxylipins, nitric oxide, and hyperpolarizing factors. This in vitro study investigated the biological activity of Vesvein, a natural formulation containing Diosmin/Hesperidin, Ruscus aculeatus, Bromelain, and Ananas comosus, on intestinal and endothelial cells. Vesvein enhanced intestinal cell viability and preserved barrier integrity, as demonstrated by increased tight junction expression at both single and double concentrations. In endothelial cells, the compound improved parameters linked to venous insufficiency, elevating nitric oxide production by approximately 1.39-fold at a single dose and 1.65-fold at a double dose. These findings indicate a potential role for Vesvein in supporting endothelial health and vascular function in vitro. Preliminary evidence from intestinal models further suggests preserved barrier properties, which may positively influence absorption and bioavailability, thereby enhancing its vascular benefits.
