I have been taking for 2 1/2 - 3 years. It did put my blood pressure to a safe level. However, I started having pain and discomfort under my right rib. For the heck of it I discontinued and after just 3 days the pain is gone.

i been taking hawthorn cause i have high blood pressure. ive been on a couple weeks. i started cardio 10 min. im up to 30 minutes. i would adjust my exercise til i was reaching 130 beats so i can reach aerobic and fat burning. a strange but good thing happened. i had taken it an hour b4 exercise. well my pulse reached 130 but i was suprised. maintaining a certain speed my pulse dropped from its 130 down to 65 beats a minute and during my last two mintutes it returned back to 130. it stay at 65 for about 15 minutes and i checked and rechecked my pulse. same effort and sweating but its like my heart was finding the work easier.im interested to see how it progresses as its supposed to take 2 months to reach full benefit. much to my suprise im quite pleased and will not increase but try morning or evening and prior for the dose and see if it changes.

I have replaced 20 mg Lisinopril daily with 1 gram of Hawthorn Berries and 1/2 gram Hawthorn Extract in a.m. and p.m. I took a bit higher dose to be sure I got some results and will lower as I lose weight. I have not seen readings like 127/78 in 10 years. I'm happy and thankful to be getting the lowered BP plus whatever other good things it's doing to my body.

Periodically my pressure goes up usually as a result of pain stemming from a condition called dystonia. And, I do not want a doctor telling me I have to take prescription blood pressure drugs. As it is, I receive botox A injections every 90 days for the dystonia. So, at 60 years old, I've decided to make this a regular part of my daily regimen because it DRAMATICALLY lowers my pressure without the dissertation length list of side effects that come with prescription meds! I take it in convenient capsule form! Recently, I began tuning in to the fact that a another great benefit is the extreme sense of calm that comes over me 1 to 2 hours after ingesting. I really like this feeling, because the dystonia causes tremors. I use the Nature's Way brand, by the way, which can be purchased at Amazon.

I have been using herbal extracts of hawthorn berry for a couple of years, and it kept both systolic and diastolic bp down. It reduced the systolic bp first, and the diastolic bp came down after a month's use or so. It's a good idea to keep track of your bp yourself, and adjust the dose (within recommendations). I have used Baldwins extract (from UK), and also made my own alcohol-based ext ... Show Full Comment

I have used Baldwins extract (from UK), and also made my own alcohol-based extract from dried berries (4 oz to 1 pt 40%). It may be easier to bring capsules or teabags when traveling, though.
