HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Hawthorn Berries Powder by TerraVita Premium Collection

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: hawthorn powder, a traditional herbal extract used for heart and circulation support. There are no inactive filler ingredients listed.

Does it work?

Couldn't assess
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not assessable

This is a single-ingredient Hawthorn product and its label doesn't state a use — see Hawthorn's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • We looked at the product name, claims, and label statements and couldn't find a stated purpose to grade.

The evidence for hawthorn's effectiveness is not established for the conditions listed in our data — angina, anxiety, arrhythmia, atherosclerosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive function all carry an insufficient evidence rating. That doesn't mean hawthorn doesn't work; it means rigorous human studies backing these uses aren't yet solid enough to rate them.

If you're considering it for a specific heart or circulatory concern, that's a conversation to have with your doctor.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Hawthorn

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Hawthorn powder is generally well tolerated in studies, but because it affects the heart and blood vessels, anyone with a heart condition needs medical supervision before using it. Serious side effects are rare; the most notable is a very rare risk of multiorgan allergic reactions affecting the kidneys.

Other uncommon reports include bronchitis, changes in heart rate, and heart rhythm disturbances — though in some cases the link to hawthorn isn't certain. There isn't enough safety information to recommend hawthorn during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant.

Known Interaction Concern · database check
Major identified

At least one ingredient has a documented Major-severity interaction. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Hawthorn.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Major.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs; heart-rhythm medications.
  • For scale: 191 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking hawthorn, double-check with your doctor or pharmacist if you take nitrates or PDE-5 inhibitors — these carry Major-severity risk of dangerously low blood pressure. You'll also want to confirm it's safe if you're on beta-blockers, blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), calcium channel blockers, or digoxin, all of which have Moderate-severity interactions documented.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. Major medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Hawthorn powder is worth considering if you're interested in traditional heart support, but it's not a simple add-on if you take medications for your heart, blood pressure, or blood clotting. Its interactions are serious and require your doctor or pharmacist to weigh in.

It's not appropriate during pregnancy or breastfeeding based on current safety data.

Hawthorn powder6 drug types · 191 drugs

Nitrates

Theoretically, concomitant use might cause additive coronary vasodilatory effects.
Some evidence shows that hawthorn might lower blood pressure due to vasodilatory effects.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors

Theoretically, concomitant use might result in additive vasodilation and hypotension.
Hawthorn might inhibit PDE-5 and cause vasodilation.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Anticoagulant/Antiplatelet Drugs

Theoretically, hawthorn may increase the risk of bleeding if used with anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.
In vitro and animal research shows that hawthorn can inhibit platelet aggregation. However, its effect in humans is unclear. One observational study shows that patients taking hawthorn shortly before undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or valve replacement surgery have a 10% incidence of postoperative bleeding, compared with 1% in those who never consumed hawthorn extract. However, clinical research shows that taking a specific preparation of dried hawthorn leaves and flowers (Crataesor, Soria Natural Lab) 800 mg three times daily for 15 days does not affect platelet aggregation or levels of thromboxane B2, the metabolite of thromboxane A2, in healthy humans.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Beta-Blockers

Theoretically, concomitant use might cause additive effects on blood pressure and heart rate.
Some evidence shows that hawthorn might lower blood pressure and heart rate.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Calcium Channel Blockers

Theoretically, concomitant use might cause additive coronary vasodilation and hypotensive effects.
Some evidence shows that hawthorn might lower blood pressure due to vasodilatory effects.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, hawthorn might potentiate the effects and adverse effects of digoxin.
Hawthorn appears to improve cardiac output; however, hawthorn does not appear to affect digoxin pharmacokinetics. Case reports suggest that at least one species of hawthorn root extract (Crataegus mexicana) may produce adverse effects similar to digoxin and can cross-react with digoxin assays, leading to falsely elevated plasma digoxin levels.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?

Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Can I take this if I'm on a blood pressure medication?
It depends on which one. Hawthorn may add to the blood-pressure-lowering effect of beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers, and there's a Major risk with certain nitrates. Don't start it without checking with your doctor or pharmacist — they'll know your specific medication and can tell you if it's safe to combine.
What are hawthorn berries supposed to do?
Hawthorn has traditionally been used for heart and circulation support. The evidence for specific uses like angina, arrhythmia, or cardiovascular disease isn't solid enough yet to say it works, though that doesn't mean it won't help you — it just means more rigorous studies are needed.
Is it safe during pregnancy?
No. There isn't enough safety information, so it's best to avoid it while pregnant. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're planning to become pregnant or are already pregnant.
Is it safe while breastfeeding?
There isn't enough safety information to recommend it while breastfeeding. Check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it if you're nursing.
What side effects might I get?
Most people who take hawthorn tolerate it well. Rare serious side effects include multiorgan allergic reactions affecting the kidneys. Uncommon reports include bronchitis, changes in heart rate, and palpitations, though it's not always clear hawthorn caused them.
Can I take this with blood thinners?
There's a Moderate-severity interaction to be aware of. Lab and animal studies suggest hawthorn might increase bleeding risk, but its real effect in people isn't clear. Your doctor or pharmacist needs to know you're considering hawthorn if you take blood thinners — don't start without checking with them.
