Heart Well Hawthorn and Olive Leaf 60Caps

Heart Well combines Hawthorn flower & leaves with the leaves of the Olive tree, two herbs that have a long tradition of use for supporting cardiovascular health. In the western herbal medicine tradition Hawthorn was used as a ‘cardio’ tonic herb because of its action in assisting the healthy flow of blood and oxygen to the heart muscle.

Olive leaf extract is used as a traditional remedy in several Mediterranean and North African countries to assist in the maintenance of healthy blood pressure. Olives and olive oil are held in high regard as part of the Mediterranean diet that has demonstrated benefits for vascular health.

Both Hawthorn and Olive leaf contain certain procyanidins (OPCs) and flavonoid components that help support the tone and linings of blood vessels, the arteries, veins and capillaries. This action contributes to overall cardiovascular health and assists in the maintenance of normal healthy blood pressure. Hawthorn has traditionally been used to help maintain normal healthy heart function and for its ability to enhance cardiac muscle strength and pumping action to assist blood circulation, in addition it has antioxidant and diuretic activity.

Heart Well combines Hawthorn and Olive leaf extracts to support healthy cardiovascular function and the maintenance of healthy blood pressure. • Hawthorn is rich in two antioxidant constituents; proanthocyanidins (OPCs) and flavonoids (Vitexin) that can help scavenge free radicals and thereby help reduce the risk of cell damage attributed to their activity. Free radicals are caused by normal metabolism and lifestyle factors such as excess dietary fats, cigarette smoke, alcohol, pollutants and stress. • The bioactive OPCs and Vitexin components of Hawthorn leaf and flowers help maintain the integrity and tone of connective tissue and collagen which are important in helping support the health of blood vessel walls. • Hawthorn enhances coronary blood flow to the heart muscle and supports the muscular contractions of the heart. • Olea europea (Olive leaf) has been traditionally used to help support the maintenance of normal healthy blood pressure in Mediterranean and North African cultures. • Olive leaf helps support blood vessel health and function which contributes to cardiovascular health. • Hawthorn and Olive leaf demonstrate a vasodilator effect which helps to decrease peripheral resistance in the arterial circulation, thereby assisting healthy blood pressure.
