crataegus oxyacanthas

Hawthorn berries have been used since the Middle Ages to support the heart and normalize cardiovascular functions. Hawthorn berries are one of the most important medicinal herbs used in the treatment of congestive heart failure and circulatory disorders and is considered by herbalists to be the world's best cardiac tonic.Hawthorn berries are rich in bioflavonoids, which relax and dilate the arteries. These compounds are powerful antioxidants that help increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the heart. This reduces the work required by the heart to circulate blood, and in-turn reduces blood pressure and stress to the heart muscle. The bioflavonoid substances give strength to the walls of blood vessels and improve blood flow to other parts of the body.


Components in Hawthorn berries have also been shown to lower cholesterol, and the amount of plaque in arteries. Hawthorn berries promotes healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels by relaxing blood vessels, increasing metabolism in the heart muscle, and improving blood supply to the heart. Our Blood Pressure Combo contains 200 mg of Hawthorn berries.
