Used for centuries, hawthorn berries are rich in procyanidins, compounds that dilate arteries, promote blood circulation and reduce blood pressure.
Why is this important?
High blood pressure can damage arterial walls and cause plaque buildup, which can lead to heart attacks or strokes. Hawthorn combats this by reducing inflammation and improving blood flow.
In Europe, hawthorn extract is used to treat mild to moderate heart failure. Studies show that it helps regulate heart rhythm, relieve fatigue, reduce swelling, and even improve exercise tolerance.
