Veins and arteries are a form of muscle. Unlike many of the muscles we come to think of when someone mentions the word muscle, the veins and arteries are not fibrous muscles, but rather they are smooth muscles. Being a type of muscle they respond to exercise and use and conversely atrophy when not used. The best you can do to strengthen your muscles is to use them. Exercise them regularly. Many of the so called venous vitamins are a total hoax.
