HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Hawthorn Berries by Thymely Solutions

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, a plant extract in liquid form. The inactive ingredients are grain alcohol and deionized water.

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 we hold doesn't establish that hawthorn relieves angina, anxiety, heart rhythm problems, atherosclerosis, general cardiovascular disease, or cognitive problems — we rate all of these as having insufficient reliable evidence. That doesn't mean it doesn't work; it means the studies available to us don't confirm it yet.

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 appears to be well tolerated when used as directed, though it does require medical supervision if you have a heart condition. Serious adverse effects are rare, but multiorgan hypersensitivity reactions leading to kidney failure have been reported in isolated cases.

Some people have experienced breathing changes, palpitations, or rapid heart rate. Because there isn't enough safety information, the data advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding — talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice if you're in either situation.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Hawthorn

Meds to double-check

Major interaction found
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 you take this product, double-check with your pharmacist if you're on nitrates or phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (Major severity), or on beta-blockers, blood thinners, calcium channel blockers, or digoxin (Moderate severity). These are the medication types with documented interactions.

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 may be worth considering if you're interested in cardiovascular support, but the interaction profile is substantial. If you take nitrates, erectile dysfunction medications, beta-blockers, blood thinners, calcium channel blockers, or digoxin, you need to check with your pharmacist or doctor first.

Anyone with a heart condition should use this under medical supervision.

Hawthorn6 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.

Organic Hawthorn Berries by Thymely Solutions: Common Questions

Does Organic Hawthorn Berries by Thymely Solutions interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Organic Hawthorn Berries has a known interaction with 191 medications, including 14 rated major. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Organic Hawthorn Berries contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
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 thinner like warfarin?
Not without checking with your pharmacist or doctor first. Hawthorn may increase bleeding risk when combined with anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs. The interaction is Moderate severity, so it needs professional review of your specific situation.
Is hawthorn safe to use if I have heart failure?
You need medical supervision. Hawthorn is generally well tolerated, but because it can affect heart rate and blood pressure, anyone with heart disease should use it under a doctor's care, especially since you may be on medications like beta-blockers or digoxin that interact with it.
Can I take this while pregnant?
There isn't enough safety information available, so the data advises against it. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether hawthorn is right for you during pregnancy — they'll know your full health picture.
What does hawthorn actually do?
We don't have reliable evidence confirming that hawthorn works for specific conditions like angina, anxiety, or heart rhythm problems. The research available to us is insufficient to establish effectiveness for those uses.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate hawthorn well with few problems. Rare serious reactions include kidney failure from allergic responses. More commonly, people have reported breathing changes, heart palpitations, or rapid heartbeat, though these are uncommon.
