What you need to know about the Antistax Vanity Leg Box

Boehringer Ingelheim has been delivering ground-breaking innovations to the pharmaceutical market for 128 years now, bringing tremendous impact with every product launch. Founded in 1885 by German entrepreneur Albert Boehringer, the company remains one of the most successful family-owned pharmaceutical companies globally.

The company lives by the principle ofbringing “Value through Innovation.” It has paid careful attention to having a strong foundation in research and development, which continues to be the major driver of innovative, new medicines for the treatment or prevention of diseases with an unmet therapeutic need.

Common leg issues 

Boehringer Ingelheim recently launched the Antistax campaign that aims to promote healthy legs for women. Common leg issues occur as a result of excessive pooling of the blood in the leg veins and a build up of fluid inside the tissues. For instance, a common vein disorder is varicose veins. The word “varicose” means “swollen” and characterises the most common form of the superficial veins. These “varicose
veins” are the result of the dilation and bulging of a normal vein in the superficial venous system.

Common leg issues include having heavy, tired legs; experiencing pain both inside and outside the legs (achy legs); having legs that are more puffy than usual; feeling a tingling sensation in the legs; a spasm of leg muscles that often happens at night and can be very painful (calf cramps); and both knees and ankles feeling sore when standing, moving around or when touched. Boehringer Ingelheim surveyed some women and the results revealed that the most common ailments that they suffer are tired legs (28%), achy legs (24%), heavy legs (21%), knee problems (19%), leg cramps (17%), and swollen legs (12%). But how exactly do these leg problems impact daily life? One in four women who take their leg problems more seriously revealed that if their legs do not feel well, they don’t feel well altogether.

It was discovered that Mexican women suffer the most from this condition followed by German women. Meanwhile, only 16% of women totally agreed to accept leg problems as part of daily life. Reinforcing the fact that the majority of women do not want to put up with their leg problems, or let them influence their daily activities. With more women from across all countries suffering from these ailments, Boehringer Ingelheim steps up with an innovative product set.

Antistax Vanity Leg Box

Antistax products all contain bio-active Flaven, an extract scientifically proven to help maintain healthy leg vein circulation as well as reduce pain and swelling noticeably. The Antistax Leg Cooling Gel comes in a pack size of 125ml tubes and has a comforting, cooling and soothing
effect on the legs. It also stimulates the microcirculation, especially when gently massaged onto the skin, preferably from the ankles towards the top of the leg. The Antistax Healthy Active Leg Tablets, which come in packs of 30s, are a food supplement and considered to be a powerful antioxidant that will strengthen and protect veins from the inside. When taken every day as part of a well-balanced diet and active lifestyle,
the easy-to-swallow tablets may help avoid the feelings of aching, heavy and tired legs that are often brought on by standing or sitting for long periods of time.

One Antistax tablet contains as much bio-active Flaven as you would get from three bottles of red wine. As Boehringer Ingelheim innovates even further, the Antistax Vanity Leg Box was conceived. It contains one box of Antistax Cooling Leg Gel, 1 box of Antistax Tablets (30s), one nail file, and one nail wrap for toes and fingers. The Antistax leg vanity box is a premium set designed to provide total wellness and
beauty for our customers, from leg to toes. The handy set includes the Antistax starter kit with a stylish nail file and nail wrap - highly suited for ladies who wish to maintain great legs amidst their busy lifestyles.

This limited edition collectible comes in a chic shade of pink; and it is a thoughtful gift set that customers could buy for their family, friends and
colleagues for birthdays, seasons of giving & other special occasions. Apart from these innovative products, Boehringer Ingelheim reminds women of some useful tips for healthy legs.

Whilst sitting or standing, women can raise their legs, rotate their toes and move your feet backwards and forwards as much as possible. A five-minute leg exercise every hour is also strongly recommended. It is also important to always sit straight, with both feet on the ground, avoiding crossing the legs or slouching.
