Forum - Heart, Circulation & Blood » Hawthorn (crataegus) – A Mild Energy Booster

Six years ago when I was in a rehabilitation clinic a doctor recommended to take an herbal supplement that contained crataegus extract for my constant tiredness and lack of energy. Right away I noticed a difference.

After a few days I had another appointment with the same doctor. She wanted to know how I was doing. I felt very tired and without energy. She ask me: “Did you take your crataegus supplement?” Then I realized that I forgot to take it that morning. The doctor explained to me that this hawthorn extract strengthens very mildly the function of the heart and subsequently gives more energy.

From then onward I paid more attention. I still take the supplement. And now I can say that with me hawthorn makes a difference in the energy I have, although it is very mild.
