Hawthorn Berry Fruit Extract Facts

Hawthorn berries are small red fruits from shrubs in the Crataegus genus, traditionally used in wellness practices. They contain flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins (OPCs), phytonutrients also found in many plant foods. These compounds support circulation, antioxidant defenses, and vascular function.

Key Benefits of Hawthorn Berry Fruit Extract:

Provides antioxidant activity that helps protect cells and cardiovascular tissues from oxidative stress.
Supports vascular tone and elasticity, helping maintain normal circulation.
Helps support healthy circulation and vascular function.

Why it Matters:

Plant flavonoid intake is low: Less than ~10% of adults consume the recommended daily fruits and vegetables ¹, leaving gaps in polyphenol intake. Hawthorn berry extract offers a concentrated, standardized source.
