Hawthorn berry extract capsules labelled 2500 mg, made from Crataegus fruit and sold as a food supplement in most markets. For importers, distributors and private-label buyers who need the extract ratio and markers stated.

Product Description:

Hawthorn is the common name for Crataegus species, chiefly Crataegus monogyna and Crataegus laevigata, thorny trees of the rose family. Supplements use the red berries, while some herbal medicines use leaf and blossom. The berries contain flavonoids and oligomeric procyanidins, the usual standardisation markers. This page lists capsules labelled 2500 mg. A figure that high normally means the weight of dried berry the extract came from, not fill weight, since a standard capsule cannot hold 2.5 g of powder.

Hawthorn berry capsules are food supplements in most markets, but leaf and blossom preparations are registered as traditional herbal medicines in parts of Europe, so the category depends on plant part, amount and wording. Pharmacists check for use alongside cardiac glycosides such as digoxin and other heart medicines, because an interaction is possible. Labels usually advise people on prescription medicines, and pregnant or breastfeeding women, to ask a doctor or pharmacist first.

Sourcing notes. Ask for the species, plant part, extract ratio, solvent and the standardisation marker, such as total flavonoids or procyanidins, with its test method. The specification should include TLC or HPLC identity, heavy metals, pesticide residues, aflatoxins, microbial limits and moisture. Confusing dried-berry equivalent with extract weight is common, so ask for both figures on the CoA and label draft. Bottles with desiccant, or blisters, suit it. Request a CoA with every batch and a supplement GMP or HACCP certificate. In your enquiry, state the strength basis, shell type, pack count and your market's category.
