Product Introduction
Hawthorn is a small tree or shrub. Hawthorn berries and leaves have been used in traditional medical systems since ancient times in China. The hawthorn was used in traditional medicine to treat irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, chest pain, hardening of the arteries, and heart failure.  
Modern medicinal extracts primarily use the leaves. The leaves of hawthorn contain a variety of bio-flavonoids. Hawthorn Leaf Extract is widely used as a heart tonic, particularly in Europe.  Research suggests that hawthorn extract may be useful as an adjunct therapy for chronic heart failure. Beneficial effects on symptom control and exercise tolerance have been seen in several controlled studies. Flavonoids found in hawthorn include oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs) and hyperoside,etc., which may be responsible for the extract's effects on the heart and blood vessels. In addition, animal research suggests it could play a role in lowering serum cholesterol and protecting arteries from plaque. Hawthorn extract is also promoted as an alternative treatment for angina and high blood pressure.
