HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Organic Hawthorn Berry Powder by Banyan Botanicals
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
This product contains one active ingredient: hawthorn berry fruit powder. Hawthorn is a plant whose fruit has been used traditionally for heart and circulation support.
There are no other inactive ingredients listed.
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
The evidence for hawthorn in the conditions studied—angina, anxiety, heart rhythm problems, atherosclerosis, general cardiovascular disease, and cognitive function—is insufficient to rate. That means the data we hold doesn't establish whether it works for these purposes.
If you're considering it for a heart-related concern, that's a conversation to have with your doctor, who can weigh what limited evidence exists against your own situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Hawthorn is generally well tolerated when used as directed, though because it affects the heart and blood vessels, anyone with a heart condition needs medical oversight. Rare serious reactions—including acute kidney failure from an allergic-type response—have been reported, and a small number of people in trials reported heart palpitations, rapid heartbeat, or breathing changes.
The safety data in pregnancy and breastfeeding isn't strong enough, so the guidance advises against use during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.
Meds to double-check
Major interaction found
Check your medications if you take nitrates or phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors—these carry Major-severity interaction risks. Also double-check beta-blockers, blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), calcium channel blockers, or digoxin before you start, as these 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 berry powder may appeal to people interested in heart health support, but it's not for anyone on nitrates, erectile-dysfunction drugs, beta-blockers, blood thinners, calcium channel blockers, or digoxin without checking first. If you have any heart condition or take medications for your heart or blood pressure, talk with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it.

Hawthorn Berry fruit powder monograph & interactionsOrganic Hawthorn Berry Powder by Banyan Botanicals Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Organic Hawthorn Berry Powder by Banyan Botanicals interacts with several important medication types, and the most serious concerns are with nitrates and phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (drugs like sildenafil for erectile dysfunction).
Both can cause Major-severity interactions where hawthorn's blood-vessel-relaxing effects add to the drug's own effects, potentially dropping your blood pressure too far.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
You'll also want to check before combining this with beta-blockers, blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs), calcium channel blockers, or digoxin. These are Moderate-severity interactions.
Beta-blockers and calcium channel blockers may see their blood-pressure-lowering effects boosted. Blood thinners carry a theoretical risk of increased bleeding, though how much hawthorn actually raises that risk in people isn't clear.
Digoxin is a narrow-window heart drug—hawthorn might amplify both its benefits and its side effects.
Altogether, these interactions span 191 individual medications. Before you start this product, run your exact medications through the interaction checker on this page or talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

For each ingredient in Organic Hawthorn Berry Powder with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Hawthorn Berry fruit powder
Nitrates
Theoretically, concomitant use might cause additive coronary vasodilatory effects.
Some evidence shows that hawthorn might lower blood pressure due to vasodilatory effects.
Phosphodiesterase-5 Inhibitors
Theoretically, concomitant use might result in additive vasodilation and hypotension.
Hawthorn might inhibit PDE-5 and cause vasodilation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
