In days long gone, Milk Thistle was often referred to in old herbals with herbs like Dandelion and Golden Seal.

Hawthorn is a small tree native to Great Britain. There are two major species, yielding leaves, flowers and fruit as berries. It is the fruit that has been dried and encapsulated for the Bio-Health product. As a result of its mild and positive action the herb is greatly valued. In Europe, hawthorn berry preparations are widely used to treat mild angina. Extensive research has demonstrated that hawthorn extracts improve heart function by opening up the coronary arteries. This in turn improves the blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Hawthorn also decreases blood cholesterol levels, another heart-healthy benefit, and it is safe to use for extended periods of time, according to European clinical experience.
