Hawthorn berries support efficient heart function.

Hawthorn contains bioflavonoid complexes that offer nutritional help to maintain circulation to the heart muscle. Hawthorn berries are historically popular in Europe as a cardio tonic.
Usage
To maintain health of the heart.
Precautions
Some sources suggest hawthorn should not be recommended in pregnancy or lactation. Hawthorn may have a potentiating effect on Digitalis medications which may necessitate a reduction of the drug dosage. Hypotensive medications may also require a reduction in dosage due to hawthorn demonstrating a reduction in blood pressure in clinical studies. The tonic action on the cardiovascular system must also be accounted for when other medications are being taken. A physician must be consulted in cases where symptoms continue unchanged for longer than six weeks or in case of swelling of the legs. Medical diagnosis is absolutely necessary when pain occurs in the region of the heart, spreading out to the arms, upper abdomen or the area around the neck, or in cases of respiratory distress (dyspnea). Always ask your product supplier or health professional if there are any specific precautions regarding your use of this or any supplement.
