Hawthorn Berry Extract Information:

Hawthorn (Crataegus species) is a small tree or shrub and a member of the rose family. It was hung over the doorway in the Middle Ages to prevent the entry of evil spirits. By the early 1800s, American doctors recognized the herb's medicinal properties and began using it to treat circulatory disorders and respiratory illnesses.

The hawthorn berry has been recognized as a prime source for advantageous nutrition since the 19th century. Hawthorn berries are native to the Mediterranean region and have been most popular in Europe. Hawthorn extract is commonly used as aroma therapy and is known for its benefits on the circulatory system.

Primarily hawthorn berries and hawthorn supplements are known for their ability to enhance metabolism and the utilization of oxygen in the heart. This allows for protection of the arterial walls and dilation of the coronary blood vessels improving the pumping of the heart. This also means that reduced blood pressure occurs as expanded blood vessels allows the blood to move more freely throughout the body. Hawthorn berries also have anti oxidant properties and are a great way to get rid of free radicals that damage cells.
