Hawthorn Berries (Crataegus spp., fruit and leaves + flowers)

Hawthorn berries and associated leaves and flowers contain key plant compounds including flavonoids such as hyperoside and quercetin glycosides, pro-cyanidins (oligomeric flavan-3-ols) and triterpenes¹. These phytochemicals are believed to support the body by promoting healthy circulation, assisting gentle micro-vascular tone and offering antioxidant protection¹. 

In traditional European herbal medicine, hawthorn preparations have been used to support the cardiovascular system, particularly in mature age, and to help with mild circulatory and heart-muscle comfort². The European Medicines Agency recognises Crataegus spp., folium cum flore as a traditional herbal medicinal preparation for relieving mild symptoms of mental stress (e.g., palpitations) and for circulatory support¹.
