I am doing research about Hawthorn & wondering if any of you guys have info about the plant and can tell me if

Hawthorn Extract (Leaf & Flower) (Crataegus Laevigata) (Standardized To Min. 1.8% Vitexin) 300mg*

would be better than this

Hawthorn Berry(Crataegus Oxyacantha)(Fruit) 1.1g(1,100 mg)

Hawthorn flower and leaf (Crataegus spp.) - 100 mg

Other ingredients: Vegetable glycerin, vegetable cellulose (capsule)

Standardized to Full Spectrum Activity Profile
Oligomeric procyanadins (40 mg activity per 2 capsules)

How expensive is this stuff?

What I want to order is like 10$ a month supply, and has celery seed in it.

You can find it for around $15 online.. but with 60 caps, it'll be expensive to take more than 2 a day.

Post a link to the one you're looking at.

You dont need grams of it. I used to take it to keep the blood pressue in check (especially with orals, which i assume your supplementing with it.) Just get a bottle at a health food store near your place or shoppers for like 10 bucks. Its all the same and it all works so dont overthink it.

Well, you'll know if it works if your blood pressure goes back down to a normal level after a couple weeks. If not, try the brand I use.

NOW usually has pretty good products though.

I am not on orals, Im on 300 test & 600 EQ, and god my BP is not high but feel some kind of pressure on my chest after heavy sparring session, and during deadlift-squat. Iam thinking about lowering EQ to 400 to see if problem goes away.

Could be the EQ, some guys say it gives them anxiety.
