Are you writing any travel health features?

More of us are travelling abroad but what we don’t realise is that 1 in 10 could develop a blood clot during travel yet show no symptoms. The World Health Organisation has found that travelling by train, car or coach can also trigger deep vein thrombosis with people taking trips of 2 hours or more being at an increased risk of developing a DVT.

Zinopin® Long Haul contains a unique combination of ingredients - French maritime pine bark and ginger root extracts which helps improve circulation, reduce heaviness in the legs, reduce ankle swelling, and help with travel related nausea.

Doctor John Scurr - an eminent vascular surgeon at the Lister Hospital London comments - ‘Many people experience swollen, painful legs when they fly and often find it difficult to put their shoes on at the end of a flight – a sign of bad circulation. More seriously, around 10 per cent of travellers develop a potentially life threatening blood clot and do not realise it is there, but fortunately, in most cases, it breaks down naturally. Taking Zinopin® relaxes constricted blood vessels to improve circulation, which can prevent the ankles from swelling and reduce the risk of blood clotting.’

Zinopin® Long Haul comes in a handy round trip small packet with 1 capsule to be taken the day before travelling, 2 whilst travelling and a further 2 to be taken in the following 2 days. Zinopin® Long Haul is available from, Lloyds, Tesco Pharmacies and Superdrug, priced at £14.99 for 10 capsules.
