  Butcher's Broom 
Ruscus Aculeatus 500 mg 
The stiff spines of butcher's broom, an evergreen bush (Ruscus aculeatus) native 
  to the Mediterranean region, were once popular for making brooms (hence the 
  herb's name). For centuries, people also consumed this herb, which is closely 
  related to asparagus, as a vegetable. Also known as box holly, knee holly, and 
  pettigree, butcher's broom now grows in many parts of the world, including the 
  southern United States.  
Butcher's Broom has been widely used since the ancient Greek and Roman civilizations 
  and has been the subject of scientific research in Europe over the past 20 years. 
  Butcher's Broom supports a healthy circulatory system by stimulating receptors 
  that cause vasoconstriction (reduction in the diameter of veins).
