Indications:
It is taken orally to relieve chronic heart conditions——primarily congestive heart failure, but also angina and arrhythmias. Chemicals in it may act directly on the heart muscle to increase the force of heartbeats and on the blood vessels to relax the arteries around the heart. It may also lengthen the time that the heart rests between beats. It may also work indirectly by widening blood vessels close to the surface of the skin. As a result, it may also help to lower blood pressure. Due to its multiple effects on the heart, it should not be taken before its use has been discussed with a doctor.

Hawthorne (Crataegus Oxyacantha) is known as a botanical heart tonic and is recommended for angina, irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, hypertension, coronary heart disease, high cholesterol, nervous disorders, insomnia and Raynaud's Syndrome.

The Unique Hawthorn Extract
While many hawthorn extracts contain 2% vetexin extracted from hawthorn berries, there is Oligomeric Procyanidins in the leaves and flowers. Extracting from this different plant part provides up to 10 times more of the key active bioflavonoids necessary for efficacy.

Hawthorn extract has been shown to support efficient heart muscle metabolism by improving its oxygen and energy utilization.
