In addition, vitamin C can improve the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that signals the blood vessels to relax and expand, thus promoting better blood flow. Vitamin C deficiency could reduce this ability of the arteries to dilate, leading to circulation problems.
Vitamin C food sources
Citrus fruit (oranges, lemons, etc.)
Berries (strawberries, raspberries, etc.)
Tomatoes
Peppers
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)
Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) is an organic compound that acts as a powerful antioxidant in the body. It plays a role in the production of energy within cells and helps to protect against oxidative stress, which can damage blood vessels and hinder blood flow.
ALA has shown that it improves vasodilation, i.e. the expansion of blood vessels, which improves blood circulation to the legs and other parts of the body. Its antioxidant properties can help prevent and repair damage to blood vessels, thereby supporting overall vascular health.
Food sources of alpha-lipoic acid
Spinach
Brologia
Red meat

These seven essential elements, ranging from vitamin K2 to alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), play significant roles in improving blood circulation, especially in the legs and feet. Adequate intake of these vitamins and compounds can help prevent and manage circulatory problems. Whether through food or food supplements, priority for these nutrients can lead to better blood circulation and contribute to a healthier life.
