Hawthorn II supports cardiovascular health | AOR
AOR Hawthorn II contains hawthorn extract (Crataegus laevigata), which is derived from a small thorny tree originally from northwestern Europe.
For thousands of years, folk medicine has prescribed hawthorn for a variety of ailments, using both the fruits, as well as the flowers and leaves. Hawthorn is rich in flavonoids and other compounds which are responsible for its benefits to heart health as it aids circulation and promotes an efficient heart function.
The components of hawthorn exert their heart-helping actions in a number of ways. Clinical trials with hawthorn have validated some of these beneficial effects on the heart in some adults.
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.
