Veins have one-way valves that keep blood flowing toward your heart. If your valves are weak, damaged, or unhealthy, veins can swell leading to varicose veins. As blood vessel walls weaken, veins may become swollen. This causes blood to collect and backup inside the vein.The result is swollen, twisted, protruding purple or blue veins, most commonly in the legs. Vitamin C, vitamin B, vitamin E and vitamin K all play crucial roles in the health and structure of our vascular system.
