- Hawthorn Extract can help promote healthy blood circulation. It can work by dilating the blood vessels to allow more blood to and from the heart. This mechanism can increase oxygen supply to the body to help other organs function properly. In cases of circulation problems such as chest pain and numbness of the extremities, Hawthorn extract can be used to help restore healthy blood supply to relieve the symptoms.
- By effectively dilating the blood vessels, Hawthorn extract can help regulate blood pressure. According to experts, blood pressure is directly related to the diameter of the arteries. This means that a large un-obstructed artery needs lesser pressure to transport blood into the different organs.
- Hawthorn extract supplement can help prevent plaque build-up in the arteries. It contains the active bioflavonoids that exhibit antioxidant protection against free radicals to prevent oxidation of fats. Fat oxidation or rancidity causes them to form plaques in the arterial walls that blocks blood flow. It then increases blood pressure and causes the arteries to lose their flexibility and harden, a condition called atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is one of the leading causes for Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), heart attack, stroke, and Congestive Heart Failure (CHF).
Hawthorn (Crataegus Species) is a shrub that belongs to the rose family that produces red or black berries. They are naturally found in the sunny wooded areas in countries all over the word. Hawthorn is rich in bioflavonoids called OPCs, which can aid in dilating blood vessels, protecting blood vessels from damage, and ensuring proper supply of blood to the heart. Of all bioflavonoids in this herb, Vitexin is the most important. Nature’s Way Hawthorn Standardised contains 1.8-2.2% of Vitexin to help the body protect the heart and its blood vessels.
