Hawthorn Extract: Good for the Heart Hawthorn, a member of the rose family, is one of the oldest natural herbal medicines used in Europe. Its use also has a long history in Native American and ancient Greek medicine. Herbalists recognized early that hawthorn held great promise for helping heart-related problems.

Studied thoroughly, hawthorn has been shown to dilate coronary arteries, thus increasing blood flow. It also works to support normal blood pressure and ease the heart’s workload by dilating arteries in the arms and legs.

Hawthorn has long been used in Europe for patients with congestive heart failure. Through a course of studies, scientists concluded that hawthorn consistently improved heart function, a patient’s ability to exercise, and symptoms of the disease (such as shortness of breath and fatigue). Hawthorn also shows promise for relieving the symptoms of angina. While much research has been done in these areas, further research is still needed before one can say hawthorn is a treatment for these diseases.  High-Quality Standardized Extract Our Hawthorn Extract is standardized to ensure you get the highest-quality ingredients.
