Gaia Herbs Hawthorn Supreme, Vegan Liquid Capsules, 60 Count - Promotes Heart Health & Stimulates Healthy Circulation, Organic Hawthorn Berry, Leaf & Flower Extract

Due to extended and ongoing (3 years now) family stress (aka, 2 siblings not letting the rest of us siblings from seeing mom when she was on her death bed, locking up mom's house, stealing $200,000 and we're still in court!), my blood pressure went up and stayed up. So my doctor prescribed Losartan, which gave me severe muscle weakness--and I need my legs to stand and lecture in my 3 hour night classes. So I googled, "herbs for blood pressure." Hawthorne came up. Then I queried "hawthorne research" and got a link to NIH (National Institutes of Health) and found its double-blind study on Hawthorne lowering blood pressure. So, I started with the crushed leaves, flowers, and berries, making and drinking a quart of tea every day--big pain! Then hypothesized there might be a liquid form. Found this on Amazon. It's great! Both tea and this product has lowered my diastolic by about 20 points and my systolic by about 15 points, on average. Oh, and I know Amazon readers do not care why my blood pressure went up or about my path to discovering Hawthorn, but I feel like writing tonight!

Will buy again

In december, I found out I had high blood pressure. I went on medication, but made some lifestyle changes, because I did NOT want to be on medication for the rest of my life. I did research, and in most articles on natural remedies, Hawthorn made the list. So I decided to try it, and came to Amazon. Gaia was the first brand I tried--maybe it was instinct, or the clean, attractive box, but I just gave them a shot first.The results were amazing.Before the Hawthorn, on the medication, I was 120/80 if I was lucky...usually 130's/80's. Within a couple of weeks, I got as low as the 90's/60's. I am convinced it even helped with my anxiety, another benefit of this herb. I made a lot of changes, including cutting out sugar, and breads, so I don't think it was all related to Hawthorn, but it did help a lot.I decided to try another brand, because it was cheaper, and I never got those really low readings again. I didn't feel the same either--it just wasn't potent. So I am making Gaia my only choice for Hawthorn.The only side effect I did notice was I got really bad orthostatic hypotension-- that dizziness when standing up. It was pretty bad, to the point of wanting to fall over. It didn't bother me, because I knew my blood pressure was in a good place, and my mood was much better.

This has been amazing for my palpitations (pacs and pvcs). This is even better than magnesium.I’m an otherwise healthy 37 year old with near daily palpitations. I was having 8-10 episodes a day the last few months but after starting this it’s down to 1-2 a week. The only other thing I changed was I stopped drinking milk.This is a game changer if it’s what has reduced them.

I was taking 2 a day when i purchased these after i was half done with the bottle i noticed i was becoming more flexible so i went to just one a day and have been able to stretch a little more then i was before taking these capsules

I’m giving it 3 stars because I’m not sure if it works. I get terrible anxiety after taking it so I stopped and after the 3rd day and my anxiety or agitated was gone. Would return if I could.update:I started taking this again whenever I have anxiety and feel heart palpitations. I feel like this works well. I did not have to stay on this I used it for a short while maybe 2 weeks until symptoms dissipated and not I only use as needed which is maybe every few months.

I started taking Hawthorn after reading the reviews and doing some research on my own. My BP was mostly 140/90 and after taking it its now down consistently to 130/80. I am looking forward to more improvements. My heart rate is now consistently a better number and overall some of the chest discomfort I felt is no more. I will continue my regimen of no added sodium along with more exercise and hope to continue to see improvements.

I know this is going to sound crazy but after being diagnosed with paroxysmal afib, I was tired of my chest feeling tight or having a sensation that I can only describe as a ship rolling on the seas so I decided to order this. After taking this for just a couple of days, I don't know what happened to all of those uncomfortable chest feelings but they appear to be almost gone. I don't know if everyone else will have these results but I hope they continue for me.
