HAWTHORN BERRIES HEALTH BENEFITS

LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE

Containing a plethora of powerful antioxidants, Hawthorn Berries are known to be potent vasodilators, helping to keep high blood pressure (hypertension) in check. 

PROTECTS THE HEART FROM FAILURE

Hawthorn Berries have been extensively studied in relation to congestive heart failure, with findings concurring that symptoms such as shortness of breath and tiredness can be dramatically improved. Hawthorn improves heart cell metabolism and enhances the flow of electrolytes across the cardiac cells. The flavones contained within this berry enhance the function of cardiac enzymes which can improve the heart’s ability to withstand stress.

ANGINA

One study found that 100mg of Hawthorn extract taken 3 times a day decreased angina in 91% of the participants as opposed to only 37% in the placebo group. It is thought this effect is down to the ability of Hawthorn to increase blood flow to the heart by dilating both peripheral and coronary blood vessels.

ANTIOXIDANT POWERHOUSE

Hawthorn Berries enhances the antioxidant activity of vitamins A, C and E, improve circulation, strengthen capillaries, reduce inflammation, boost the immune system, protect against atherosclerosis, are effective antioxidants for the brain and nerve tissue and enhance connective tissue health.

DIGESTIVE HEALTH

Hawthorn Berries stimulate bile and gastric secretions, aiding in the digestion of stagnant food in the GI tract, especially that which is rich in fats or protein. They also contain various organic compounds that interact with gut flora to improve the digestion of nutrients.
