Hawthorn (Crataegus oxyacantha) has been used for centuries to aid circulation and promote an efficient heart function.
Clinical research has identified how mostly flavonoids are responsible for hawthorn’s beneficial activities with vitexin (full name: vitexin-2”-O-rhamnoside) as the most important of them all.
The powerful antioxidants in hawthorn protect the cells of the cardiovascular system from free radicals.
Red yeast (Monascus purpureus) grows on rice yields a fermented product known as red yeast rice (RYR). RYR has a long history of use in Asia as a food, a flavoring/coloring agent, and a preservative. In Chinese medicine, RYR is also believed to support “blood circulation.” Much is often made of a class of active compounds in RYR called monacolins. By current count, there are more than ten different monacolins found in RYR, and they all appear to have slightly different effects.
But one should keep in mind that RYR is not a drug and is neither just one monacolin, nor a collection of monacolins. Rather, RYR is a complex food substance that also contains many bioactive components like sterols, isoflavones, and monounsaturated fatty acids. Other specific compounds found in RYR, such as monascin and ankaflavin, have recently been found to promote inflammatory health and even support beneficial HDL levels. Clearly, the benefits of RYR to cardiovascular health are more subtle than is often described.
