A flowering shrub, Hawthorn (Crataegus laevigata) is in the Rosaceae family of roses, apples, and plums. The hawthorn shrub plant produces small fresh berries. The reddish hawthorn berry is consumed in various cultures throughout the globe, particularly in Europe, where the plant has long been a nutritional staple. Hawthorn Berry is traditionally used to make herbal tea and can now also be enjoyed in many supplement forms including capsules, pills, powders, and liquid extracts.
Hawthorn Berries contain oligomeric procyanidins (OPC's), potent compounds found in berries and pine bark. They're also an excellent source of Vitexin, a special chemical compound found in the passion flower.
