About
Hawthorn berry/leaf/flower extract contains OPCs and flavonoids that improve cardiac contractile force without increasing oxygen demand. A 2008 Cochrane review of 14 RCTs (1,110 heart failure patients) found hawthorn significantly improved exercise tolerance and reduced dyspnea. Hawthorn is approved by the German Commission E for declining cardiac function (NYHA I-II).
How It Works
Oligomeric procyanidins and flavonoids inhibit phosphodiesterase-3 (PDE3) increasing cardiac cAMP and improving contractile force (positive inotropic effect without increasing oxygen demand); enhances coronary artery blood flow via endothelium-dependent vasodilation; reduces peripheral vascular resistance; antioxidant flavonoids protect against myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury; mild ACE-inhibitory activity.
