NOW Hawthorn Berry

Hawthorn is one of the oldest known herbs used in traditional European herbal medicine. It is first mentioned in the journal of Disoscorides, a Greek physician of the first century. The Hawthorn tree was regarded as sacred at one time due to the belief that it furnished the Crown of Thorns in early Christian history. Today, the berry, leaf and flower of the plant are all used in various herbal formulations. It is recognized as one of the most effective organic herbal supplements in supporting optimal cardiovascular function. Some studies have surmised that the active compounds in hawthorn (crataegus oxyacantha) encourage normal blood flow throughout the cardiovascular system; something every heart needs to function at its best. Hawthorn is also naturally enriched with procyanidins, flavonoids and flavonols to promote its antioxidant activity.*
