Hawthorn Berries prevent heart failure

There have been a number of studies that show that hawthorn greatly improves heart function. Hawthorn berries aid with the symptoms of the disease, like shortness of breath and fatigue.  One study found that hawthorn extract was as effective as low doses of a prescription heart medication, in improving symptoms of heart failure.

A large study found that a standardized hawthorn supplement was effective in patients with heart failure, and compared conventional methods of treating heart failure with hawthorn alone and in addition to the drugs. After 2 years, symptoms of heart failure, like shortness of breath, palpitations and fatigue, decreased significantly in the patients taking a hawthorn berry supplement. People taking hawthorn also took less conventional medication for their condition.
