Hawthorn Berries (Crataegus spp.) Whole Organic
Potential Health Benefits
Hawthorn berries are renowned for their potential therapeutic properties, attributed to
bioactive compounds like flavonoids and oligomeric proanthocyanidins:
 
 Cardiovascular Support: Hawthorn may improve blood flow, reduce blood
pressure, and strengthen heart muscle contractions, making it beneficial for heart
failure and other cardiovascular conditions.
 Antioxidant Properties: The berries contain antioxidants that combat oxidative
stress, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
 Digestive Aid: Traditionally used to alleviate digestive issues such as indigestion
and loss of appetite.
 Anxiety and Sleep: Hawthorn has been used to reduce anxiety and promote
restful sleep, though more research is needed in this area.
 
Recommended Daily Dosage
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare provider before starting Hawthorn, especially to
determine the appropriate dosage for your specific needs.
 
Interactions with Medications
While hawthorn is generally considered safe, it may interact with certain medications:
 Heart Medications: Hawthorn can enhance the effects of digoxin, potentially
leading to increased risk of side effects.
 Blood Pressure Drugs: Combining hawthorn with beta-blockers or calcium
channel blockers may cause blood pressure to drop too low.
 Anticoagulants: Hawthorn might slow blood clotting, increasing the risk of
bleeding when taken with blood-thinning medications.

Note: Individuals taking these or other medications should consult with a healthcare
provider before incorporating hawthorn into their regimen.
