*L’ uso dell’ escina è finalizzato ad un miglioramento dello *stato vasale (stato dei vasi sanguigni)* e quindi contrasta efficacemente l’ eccesso di ritenzione idrica che porta alla formazione della cellulite.

I know "tone" is a wee bit liberal but might work at a stretch of the imagination

"quality" is a safer bet

really means "condition" but that would definitely not sound good in this context ..... so I would go with "quality" as it has a touch of the scientific while still being perfectly usable in an advertising scenario

but look at this on "tone"

Personal trainers have long praised the health benefits of toning your muscles. Now, medical researchers are looking at a similar approach for toning of your blood vessels.

Think of it as getting really buff blood vessels.

So, what's blood-vessel tone got to do with your health? The better the tone of your blood vessels -- your total circulatory system -- the less your heart has to work to pump blood. When your heart pumps your blood smoothly, without resistance from your blood vessels, your risk of heart disease drops.

Although exercise is important for muscle tone, your eating and supplement habits may have greater sway when it comes to blood vessel tone. Eating fresh wholesome foods and taking antioxidants are the best ways to maintain tiptop blood-vessel tone.
