Hawthorn fruit Extract

1. Promote digestion and relieve indigestion
The organic acids in hawthorn (such as citric acid and malic acid) can stimulate gastric acid secretion, enhance the activity of pepsin, and help break down proteins and fats.For bloating and indigestion caused by consuming greasy or high-protein foods, hawthorn can accelerate the emptying of food by promoting intestinal peristalsis and alleviate the feeling of fullness.In addition, the lipase in hawthorn can also assist in breaking down fat, making it suitable for post-diet adjustment.

2. Strengthen the spleen and stimulate the appetite, improving appetite
According to traditional Chinese medicine, hawthorn fruit extract is sweet and sour in taste, slightly warm in nature, and enters the spleen and stomach meridians. It has the function of strengthening the spleen and aiding digestion.For people with poor appetite and weak spleen and stomach, moderate consumption of hawthorn can enhance gastric juice secretion and improve digestive function.Especially in summer or when one is weak after illness, hawthorn can help restore gastrointestinal motility, but it is important to avoid eating it on an empty stomach.

3. Regulate the balance of gastric acid
The acidic components in hawthorn are beneficial for people with insufficient gastric acid secretion and can help regulate the internal environment of the stomach.However, if one already has excessive stomach acid, gastric ulcers or reflux esophagitis, excessive consumption may irritate the gastric mucosa and aggravate discomfort.Therefore, the intake should be adjusted according to individual circumstances.

4. Assist in protecting the gastric mucosa
Studies have shown that flavonoids in hawthorn (such as quercetin and hyperoside) have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and may alleviate gastric mucosal damage.However, it should be noted that its effect is relatively mild and cannot replace drug treatment.
