Hawthorne berry improves cardiovascular function
Hawthorn is endorsed as a cardiovascular aid by Commission E - an important branch of the German government that studies and approves natural therapies. It is widely used in Europe to improve the circulatory system, treat angina, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure. It is renowned for its ability to strengthen the heart and blood vessels and to restore healthy muscular tone to the heart wall.
Hawthorn berry is loaded with a wide array of powerful anti-oxidant nutrients. Anti-oxidants neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress and tissue damage in the body. The unique blend of anti-oxidants found in Hawthorn come from a group of phytonutrients. These include tannins, flavonoids, proanthocyanidins and phenolic acids. The standardization of hawthorn products is based on the overall content of flavonoids (2.2%) and proanthocyanidins (18.75%).
Powerful Heart Revitalizer
Hawthorn has been well studied in individuals with congestive heart failure. Five of the six major studies performed found dramatically improved symptoms (such as shortness of breath and fatigue). One study showed that hawthorn (taken at 900mg/day) for 2 months was as effective as low doses of a leading heart medication in improving common symptoms associated with congestive heart failure.
The unique anti-oxidant blend within Hawthorn creates a powerful vasodilating effect. It acts to improve blood vessel endothelial function to where the vessel is able to open with less resistance. This allows greater blood flow in working tissues and improves oxygen utilization. This is primarily due to the flavonoids rutin and vitexin along with the proanthocyanidins.
Hawthorn improves heart cell metabolism and enhances the flow of electrolytes across the cardiac cells. This prevents or corrects heart rhythm abnormalities and strongly encourages a healthy cardiac rhythm.
Hawthorne contains flavones that enhance the function of certain cardiac enzymes. This effect increases the heart's contractile force, which effectively boosts stroke volume while increasing the heart's tolerance to hypoxic conditions. It also improves the heart's ability to create energy through anaerobic metabolism, which improves the heart's ability to withstand stress.
Hawthorn also acts to inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE). Elevated ACE causes an increase in angiotensin II and systemic vasoconstriction. This process elevates blood pressure. By modulating ACE levels, Hawthorn helps to normalize blood pressure and reduce stress on the cardiovascular system. The body usually takes two to four weeks to adapt to the hawthorn and to receive its lasting effects on blood pressure.
Anti-Oxidant Blend
Hawthorn also helps protect joints with its unique blend of antioxidants. These phytonutrients fend off specific classes of free radicals that are known to damage tissue collagen resulting in arthritic conditions. Natural remedies that support healthy collagen improve the health of joints, skin, hair, & nails.
When getting hawthorn, be sure to get the whole plant - leaves, flowers, & berry. The berries contain more proanthocyanidins while the flowers and leaves contain more vitexin. The most effective way to consume hawthorn if you are unable to get it fresh is in a dried and ground form.
Put the fresh plant or dried form into shakes or teas and consume daily. Due to its antioxidant and cardiovascular boosting effects it is great to use pre/post exercise. This improves exercise recovery by improving oxygen flow and neutralizes scavenging free radicals from damaged tissues.

It is the Ministry of NSearch that all inherit the Kingdom of God
But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law....
Now the works of the flesh are evident,
which are adultery fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,
idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies,
outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy,
murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like;
of which I (Paul the Apostle) tell you beforehand,
just as I also told you in time past, that those who
practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control,
against such there is no law. Those who are Christ's
have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Let us not become conceited, provoking one another,
envying one another.
Galatians 5:18-26
{Sorcery: "Pharmakia;" Primarily mentioned as one of the "works of the flesh." In "sorcery" the use of drugs. Blue Letter Bible. Galatians 5:20}
