Another important component is triterpenoids. In addition, hawthorn contains organic acids such as chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and tannins, tannic anhydride, epicatechin, choline, acetylcholine, β-sitosterol, and carotene. And a lot of Vit C and so on.

What is Hawthorn extract good for?

1. Digestive aid: Hawthorn is a traditional food eliminator, good at eliminating meat. Recent studies have shown that hawthorn extract contains vitamin c, vitamin B, carotene and various organic acids, which can increase the secretion of digestive enzymes in the stomach and enhance the activity of enzymes to promote digestion. It has been reported that hawthorn alcohol extract has a two-way regulating effect on stimulated gastric smooth muscle activity in rats, indicating that taking hawthorn has a significant adjusting effect on gastrointestinal dysfunction, and achieves the effect of strengthening the spleen and eliminating food. Fatty acids in hawthorn can also promote lipolysis, and hawthorn acid can improve the activity of proteolytic enzymes, which can help digestion.

2. Hawthorn extract for high blood pressure: ①Antihypertensive effect: various extracts of hawthorn have certain cardiotonic effects on toad's heart. Smaller dose injection has hypotensive effect on anesthetized rabbits and mice. The principle of antihypertensive is based on the dilatation of peripheral blood vessels. ②Lowering blood lipids and preventing atherosclerosis. Hawthorn can increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and decrease low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which helps to remove excessive cholesterol from peripheral tissues, thus improving lipid metabolism in the body. Hawthorn and Hawthorn flavonoid extract can significantly reduce blood lipids in rabbits and suckling rats with experimental hyperlipidemia, and has therapeutic effects on experimental atherosclerosis. Hawthorn and its leaf extracts can increase myocardial contraction without affecting cardiac autoregulation, shorten atrioventricular conduction time and prolong effective inactivity. Hawthorn also has the effect of dilating coronary vessels, increasing coronary flow and reducing myocardial oxygen consumption. Hawthorn extracts and hydrolysates have significant antispasmodic effects on isolated blood vessels in rabbits. The good pharmacological and clinical test results of its standard extracts predict that it will be used as a substitute for synthetic drugs and become a new choice for the phytotherapy of chronic heart failure. ④Anti-arrhythmic effect: Hawthorn extract has counteracted the arrhythmia caused by intravenous aconitine, and the effect is strong, and the main effect is played by hawthorn flavonoids and saponins. Intravenous injection of hawthorn extract can counteract arrhythmia caused by injection of posterior pituitary hormone in rabbits.

3. Inhibition of platelet aggregation and antithrombotic effect: The active ingredient total flavonoids proposed in hawthorn have a speeding effect on platelet and erythrocyte electrophoresis, causing a significant decrease in their electrophoresis time, which is conducive to improving hemodynamics, increasing the surface charge of erythrocytes and

It helps to improve hemodynamics, increase the surface charge of red blood cells and platelets, increase the repulsion between cells, accelerate their flow in the blood, promote axial flow, reduce side flow and aggregation

4. Improving the immunity of the body: The experimental results confirmed that the injection of Hawthorn extract has a positive effect on the serum lysozyme content of rabbits and the serum hemagglutination antibody titer.

The experimental results confirmed that the injection of Hawthorn extract had a significant enhancement effect on serum lysozyme content, serum hemagglutination antibody titer, cardiac blood T lymphocytes, E rosette formation rate and cardiac blood T lymphocyte conversion rate of rabbits, indicating that Hawthorn has a promoting effect on humoral immunity and cellular immunity.

5. Antibacterial effect: Experimental research proves that: Hawthorn decoction and ethanol extract have antibacterial effect on Bacillus fowleri, Bacillus sungneri, Bacillus typhi, Bacillus deformans, Staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Escherichia coli, etc.. Clinically, it is used as a plant disinfectant, and fresh or cooked products are applied externally to treat frostbite infections and ulcers, with good results.

6 Pain-relieving effect: Hawthorn can make the blood vessels diastolic, which helps to release the local stasis state, and has the effect of contracting the uterus and promoting the recovery of the uterus.

7. Protecting retina: decoction of hawthorn, wolfberry and jujube can improve the tolerance of CS2 to CS2 in CS2-stained rabbits when taken orally. It has a certain degree of protective effect on the retina.

8. Other effects: Hawthorn also has diuretic and phlegm-suppressing effects, and can be used to treat celiac disease, eruption, vocal cord polyps, lower limb soft tissue injury, bone sticking, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, eczema, etc. It can also be used for weight loss.

1. According to the pharmacological effects of hawthorn, many hawthorn and hawthorn compound preparations have been applied in clinical treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as hyperlipidemia, coronary heart disease, angina pectoris, arrhythmia, etc. The representative drugs in China in this regard are "Yixinone", "Hawthorn Ketone", "Xinan Capsule", etc. The representative drugs in China are "Yixinone", "Shanzhaone", "Xin'an Capsule", etc. In addition, hawthorn preparations can also be used to eliminate food stagnation, antibacterial dysentery and other diseases. In addition to the above-mentioned uses, hawthorn is also used to protect the retina, inhibit aberrations, and treat celiac disease, eruption, vocal cord polyps

It is also used for the treatment of celiac disease, eruption, vocal fold polyps, lower limb soft tissue injury, bone sticking, psoriasis, neurodermatitis, eczema, etc.

In summary, proanthocyanidins, flavonoids and triterpenoids in hawthorn are active ingredients in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases. As a country that produces hawthorn in abundance, China has particularly abundant resources and low cost, so it is very promising to make full use of hawthorn resources to develop and produce new drugs and functional health food.

2.
