Hawthorn has been used for centuries for its benefits for cardiovascular health and circulation.
Cardiovascular support:
Hawthorn is rich in bioactive flavonoids that have been shown to exert positive effects on the cardiovascular system by improving coronary blood flow, increasing the integrity of the blood vessel wall, and improving oxygen utilisation.
Blood Pressure:
Hawthorn may have a beneficial effect on high blood pressure, with one systematic review demonstrating that hawthorn can significantly lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension if used consistently for at least 12 weeks.
Liver support:
Hawthorn may benefit the liver via the hepatic antioxidant system, specifically by protecting injured or dysfunctional liver cells, and may have offer therapeutic benefits for the treatment of fatty liver.
