Overview
Many naturopaths consider hawthorn to be the number one herb for the cardiovascular system. Hawthorn increases the ability of the heart muscle to contract, making the heart a more efficient pump. It increases coronary blood flow and reduces peripheral vascular resistance, helping the blood to circulate to the extremities. Some herbalists recommend hawthorn for restlessness and insomnia.
Hawthorn Extract from Herbal Factors® combines hawthorn leaf, flower, and berry, which are used traditionally in herbal medicine to help maintain cardiovascular health in adults. It provides a full spectrum of hawthorn’s antioxidants, standardized to 2.2% flavonoids. This is a fantastic herbal supplement for anyone who wants to support heart function naturally.
