Brief Answer:
there are some possible supplements
Detailed Answer:
in cases of varicose veins it is recommended to eat foods rich in dietary fiber, such as whole grains. Bioflavonoids found in dark berries, dark leafy greens, garlic, and onions help keep veins healthy. Supplements that may help include vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.
but the most important is to regulated weight, avoid long standing, and wear compression stockings.
It is not direct sign of poor circulation. circulation is determined based on blood flow in arteries ,not veins. But in cases of significant vein congestion, arterial flow may be affected as well so you should do ultrasound to check circulation.
