In addition, hawthorn has been found
to be a strong antioxidant that prevents lipid peroxidation.
Specifically, it helps maintain
mitochondrial antioxidant status, and was shown to prevent mitochondrial lipid
peroxidation damage in rat hearts.
The extract also helps improve heart
muscle contractions, helps remodel the heart when heart failure occurs, and
stops blood clots.
To get the best effect, hawthorn
should be used for at least four to eight weeks. It was found that 500 mg, taken
two to three times per day, is an effective dose for cardiac health.
