hi everyone, has anyone heard of Dr Barbara Oneil, she’s an advocate of taking Hawthorn Berry for heart health and clearing arteries. Does anyone have any first hand experience of this? Thanks in advance.

Google, and take one's choice of the positive, the negative and cautionary - there's quite a list of conditions where people need to be careful about taking hawthorn berry, including too much.

I would always consult your GP or cardiologist before taking anything as they could react with your current medication and or cause serious side effects.

I think it is not recommended if you are taking Apixaban as it interferes with the drugs process of anticoagulation.

All the best.
