About this product

Two capsules provide 1,050 mg of hawthorn, a substantial amount for non-standardized plant material. The formula avoids unrelated supporting ingredients and keeps its purpose clear.

No species, plant part, extract ratio, or active marker is provided. That means the label cannot show how the whole-herb serving compares with standardized preparations.

The large bottle and practical two-capsule serving support regular low-cost use. It best fits users who accept whole-herb variability and want a focused hawthorn product.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking a substantial whole-herb dose
  • Budget-conscious hawthorn users
  • People comfortable with two capsules
Best for
  • High-dose plain hawthorn
  • Simple single-herb use
  • Economical long-term supplementation

Pros

  • Supplies 1,050 mg hawthorn
  • Simple single-ingredient design
  • Large number of capsules
  • Two-capsule serving

Cons

  • No active-marker standardization
  • Species is not identified
  • Plant part is missing
  • Potency may vary from standardized extracts

Warnings

  • Hawthorn may add to antihypertensive medicines or nitrates and cause excessive blood-pressure reduction.
  • People taking digoxin or other heart medicines should use hawthorn only with prescriber guidance.
  • Dizziness or faintness after starting the product warrants stopping use and seeking advice.

Product analysis

81 out of 100
A substantial, economical whole-herb dose offers straightforward hawthorn use, but absent botanical and potency details limit predictability.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient quality80

The whole-herb hawthorn lacks species, plant-part, and active-marker details. The substantial amount is well aligned with non-concentrated herb use, and the single botanical offers a focused but narrow cardiovascular pathway.

.
Ingredient transparency78

Every listed active has a specific amount and no proprietary blend obscures the formula. Complete intake directions and inactive ingredients are not supplied, leaving part of the label unverified.

.
Customer satisfaction73

The supplied aggregate satisfaction level is strong. The extensive feedback volume makes the aggregate dependable.

.
Value for money92

The strong whole-herb amount supports the low cost despite limited source detail. The serving offers strong cost efficiency, and the product compares well for basic powder but not for standardized quality.

Hawthorn · 1050 mg

Hawthorn is the only cardiovascular ingredient listed, at 1,050 mg per serving, and it relates to vascular tone. The supplied note cautions that generic hawthorn is not established for routine cardiovascular support: a large WS 1442 heart-failure trial did not significantly improve its primary cardiac-event outcome, and this label does not identify that extract.

85 Performance

Hawthorn 300 mg

Nature's Way
Stronger sourcing, standardization, dose clarity, or complementary cardiovascular coverage gives the option a meaningful quality advantage. A meaningful leaf-and-flower extract plus whole hawthorn gives the formula strong focus and dose quality. Only the missing species detail prevents fuller source verification.
84 Performance

Full Spectrum Hawthorn Extract

Planetary Herbals
Stronger sourcing, standardization, dose clarity, or complementary cardiovascular coverage gives the option a meaningful quality advantage. Leaf-and-flower sourcing, vitexin standardization, and a substantial dose make the formula easy to evaluate. The missing species detail is minor relative to its strong quality and value.
86 Performance

Extra Strength Hawthorn Extract 600 mg

NOW
Stronger sourcing, standardization, dose clarity, or complementary cardiovascular coverage gives the option a meaningful quality advantage. A substantial standardized hawthorn extract provides focused and economical cardiovascular support. Missing species and plant-part details keep the source from being fully verified.
86 Budget

Hawthorn Extract 300 mg

NOW
Lower routine cost makes the option a more economical choice for focused hawthorn support. Standardized extract plus whole berry provides substantial hawthorn depth at unusually low cost. Species and extract plant-part details remain incomplete.
81 Budget

Hawthorn Berry 565 mg

Swanson
Lower routine cost makes the option a more economical choice for focused hawthorn support. A simple moderate-dose hawthorn powder offers very low-cost targeted use. Lack of species, plant-part, and active-marker details makes potency less predictable than a standardized extract.
77 Budget

Hawthorn Berries 565 mg

Herbal Secrets
Lower routine cost makes the option a more economical choice for focused hawthorn support. A useful berry-powder amount offers simple targeted support at very low cost. Unstandardized potency and sparse feedback are the main uncertainties.
84 Value

Hawthorn 358 mg

Nature's Answer
The balance of disclosed ingredient quality, hawthorn relevance, and routine cost makes the option a stronger value-oriented alternative. Unusually complete source identification and a meaningful standardized dose support high ingredient quality. Limited feedback volume is the main evidence gap, while cost remains favorable.
84 Value

Blood Pressure Health

NOW
The balance of disclosed ingredient quality, hawthorn relevance, and routine cost makes the option a stronger value-oriented alternative. Standardized hawthorn and grape-seed polyphenols create a focused, well-dosed cardiovascular formula. Missing hawthorn source details and interaction potential with heart medicines are the main limitations.
78 Value

Hawthorn 500 mg

Eclectic Herb
The balance of disclosed ingredient quality, hawthorn relevance, and routine cost makes the option a stronger value-oriented alternative. Species-identified freeze-dried hawthorn offers better source clarity than many basic powders. A moderate amount, missing plant part, and no active standardization keep the quality and value moderate.
