What is hawthorn?
Hawthorn (Crataegus monogyna) is a thorny shrub of the rose family that grows in hedgerows across Europe. It flowers white in spring and bears small red berries in autumn. Herbalists use the leaves, flowers and berries, and all three are in this formula. The leaf and flower extract is standardized to 2.2% flavonoids, measured as hyperoside, so each batch carries a consistent level of these plant compounds.

Why a standardized extract?

Helps keep blood pressure in control.
This was recommended to me about 15 yrs. ago to help keep my blood pressure down along with Omega capsules. I'm still not having to take blood pressure meds.
