Hawthorn Berry

Hawthorn contains bioflavonoid-like complexes, which are potent antioxidants (such as Oligomeric Procyanidins (OPCs), vitexin, quercetin, and hyperoside) that appear to be helpful for the cardiac actions of the plant. Hawthorn, unlike other cardio-stimulants, it slowly act on circulatory and cardiovascular disorders via causing dilation of the blood vessels, especially the coronary arteries, and by causing some reduction in blood pressure. It is helpful in the herbal aid of Angina, Congestive heart failure, Atherosclerosis and many other heart disorders. Another benefit of Hawthorn on the heart and blood vessels is how it may help improve coronary artery blood flow and the overall strength of the heart muscle. This herb has maximum effect and benefit when used over a prolonged period of time. It is also extremely safe during pregnancy or lactation and for long-term use. People taking prescription cardiac medications should consult their ?herbally oriented? doctor before using Hawthorn containing products.
