Hawthorne Berry Extract

Hawthorn is a cardiac tonic, used for cardiovascular conditions such as congestive heart failure (CHF), coronary circulation problems, and arrhythmias. It is also used to increase cardiac output reduced by hypertension or pulmonary disease, to treat both hypotension (low pressure) and hypertension (high blood pressure), atherosclerosis, hyperlipidemia, and Buerger's disease. Hawthorn is also used as an antispasmodic, astringent, and diuretic.

The constituents responsible for the pharmacological effects of hawthorn preparations include flavonoids and procyanidins. Other active compounds are vitexin, rutin, and hyperoside. Hawthorn preparations act on the heart muscle by increasing force of contraction, reducing peripheral vascular resistance associated with hypertension (high blood pressure), reducing oxygen consumption, and increasing nerve conductivity. Flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs) increase blood flow in the coronary arteries due to vasodilation.

Hawthorn has also been reported to reduce lipid levels. It also has antibacterial, spasmolytic, and pain relieving effects.
