Powdered Hawthorn Leaves - Feed Ingredient

Powdered hawthorn leaves are derived from the Crataegus species, a genus of shrubs and small trees commonly known as hawthorn. In herbal applications, both the leaves and flowers are used and are typically dried and ground into a fine powder for inclusion in supplements.

Hawthorn leaves contain a variety of bioactive compounds, including flavonoids (such as vitexin), oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), and phenolic acids. These compounds have been studied for their potential effects on cardiovascular function and antioxidant activity.
