Powerful Cardiovascular Support (2 Bottles, 120 Capsules) Benefits:Cardiovascular SupportPromote heart healthSupport circulatory functionDescription Hawthorn contains an abundance of flavonoids including hyperoside, quercetin, vitexins, rutin and more. A number of other compounds are also found in hawthorn such as proanthocyanidins, various vitamins and minerals, fructose, beta-sitosterol, xanthine derivatives and more. Hawthorn is antispasmodic, sedative, and a vasodilator. Hawthorn may help the heart in several ways. It may open (dilate) the coronary arteries, improving the heart’s blood supply. It may increase the heart’s pumping force. It may eliminate some types of heart-rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). It may help limit the amount of cholesterol deposited on artery walls. It is very good for treating either high or low blood pressure by strengthening the action of the heart; it helps many blood pressure-related problems. Hawthorn is best known as a cardiotonic. Used frequently in cases of congestive heart failure and high blood pressure; it is the hyperosides and the vitexins (especially the vitexin-2 rhamnoside) that are present in hawthorn enabling it to effect these conditions. Essentially, hawthorn has been shown to increase the inotropic effect (contractile force), and increase the tolerance of the heart to lower oxygen (hypoxic) conditions. Hawthorn extracts have historically been derived from the flowers, leaves, and fruits of the plant. However, most of the data supporting the cardiac activity of hawthorn are based on evaluation of the dried flowering tops of the plants (specifically from Crataegus monogyna or Crataegus laevigata). Hawthorn has traditionally been used to treat , asthma, hypertension, dyslipidemia, hypotension, angina, arrhythmias, heart failure, and indigestion. The most substantial evidence for clinical benefits of hawthorn is its use in chronic congestive heart failure (CHF).
