What Is Hawthorne Berries Fluid Extract?
Hawthorne Berries Fluid Extract is a hydroethanolic liquid extract made from the ripe berry (fruit) of hawthorn, Crataegus oxyacantha, a thorny shrub in the rose family (Rosaceae). As a fluid extract, its carrier is ethanol, so the finished liquid contains alcohol alongside naturally present water and glycerin. Bio-Botanica draws the berry constituents using its proprietary Bio-Chelated low-heat cold-extraction process, which avoids the high heat of many conventional methods and yields a Holistically Balanced, full-spectrum representation of the whole fruit rather than an isolated fraction.
Market Demand
Demand for hawthorn ties directly to buyer interest in heart-focused and botanical calm formulations, two of the most durable positioning stories in natural products. Hawthorn berry has centuries of traditional use across European and Asian herbal practice, which gives brands a recognizable heritage narrative to build around. The broader category continues to expand: Grand View Research values the global herbal extract market at USD 53.43 billion by 2030. Hawthorn's long-standing association with cardiovascular wellness positioning keeps it a recurring request from supplement and beverage developers working in that space.
Formulation Applications
This fluid extract suits ingestible formats where an ethanol-based liquid integrates cleanly. Because it is alcohol-carried and water-miscible, it blends readily into tinctures, liquid herbal drops, two-part shot systems, and concentrated liquid supplements. Formulators building functional beverages, elixirs, and botanical bitters can dose it directly, and it can also be carried into capsules or gummies as a liquid input within a broader formulation. Its full-spectrum berry character pairs naturally with other cardiovascular- or relaxation-positioned botanicals in complex herbal stacks. Because the carrier is ethanol rather than an oil, it is intended for aqueous and hydroalcoholic systems, not anhydrous oil-based products.
Why Formulators Choose Bio-Botanica
Formulators sourcing hawthorn berry come to Bio-Botanica for consistency they can document lot after lot. Family-owned in Hauppauge, New York since 1972, Bio-Botanica runs an FDA-inspected cGMP facility where the Bio-Chelated cold-extraction process protects the delicate berry profile that heat can degrade. Every lot undergoes in-house HPLC and mass spectrometry identity and quality testing, and Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request. Samples ship with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS so R&D and QA teams can evaluate the hawthorn extract against their own specifications before scaling.
Common Buyer Questions
What exactly is this product and which plant part does it use?
It is a fluid extract of the hawthorn berry, the ripe fruit of Crataegus oxyacantha in the Rosaceae (rose) family. This product uses the berry specifically, not the leaf or flower, so it is distinct from hawthorn leaf-and-flower extracts also used in the trade.
Which species of hawthorn is this?
This extract is produced from Crataegus oxyacantha, the common single-seeded hawthorn. Hawthorn is a large genus, and closely related species such as Crataegus laevigata are also used commercially; species detail for a given lot is confirmed on the TDS.
What is it carried in?
The carrier is ethanol. As a fluid extract it is produced in a hydroalcoholic system, so the finished liquid contains alcohol along with naturally occurring water and glycerin.
Is this product alcohol-free?
No. Because it is a fluid extract, it contains alcohol. If your formulation requires an alcohol-free input, ask our team about an alcohol-free glycerin-based liquid extract or a powdered form of hawthorn berry instead.
Is the extract standardized to a specific compound?
No, this is a full-spectrum, non-standardized fluid extract. Bio-Botanica's Holistically Balanced approach preserves the whole-berry constituent profile rather than isolating or guaranteeing a single marker at a set percentage. If you need marker data for a lot, the representative COA and TDS provide the tested values available.
What formats and applications does it fit?
It fits ingestible liquid formats: tinctures, herbal drops, liquid shots, functional beverages, elixirs, and bitters, and it can serve as a liquid input in capsules or gummies. It is designed for aqueous and hydroalcoholic systems rather than anhydrous oil-based products.
How should brands position hawthorn berry in a compliant way?
Hawthorn berry has a long tradition of use in cardiovascular-wellness and calm-support contexts, so brands can position it within heart-health or relaxation categories using structure/function framing. It is a positioning story rooted in traditional use, not a treatment for any condition.
Is it water-soluble or compatible with my base?
As an ethanol-carried liquid it is miscible with water and hydroalcoholic bases, which makes it straightforward to dose into aqueous beverages and liquid supplements. It is not intended for oil-only or anhydrous systems; our team can advise on compatibility for your specific base.
Where does the hawthorn come from?
Hawthorn is native to temperate Europe, Northwest Africa, and Western Asia, and is cultivated and wild-harvested across the Northern Hemisphere. The specific country of origin for a given lot is listed on the TDS.
What certifications are available?
Kosher, Halal, and Organic certification is available on request. Because the extract naturally contains glycerin, note that Bio-Botanica's glycerin is derived from RSPO-certified palm oil.
What documentation ships with a sample?
Every sample ships with a Spec Sheet/TDS, a representative COA, and an SDS, giving your R&D and QA teams the identity, quality, and safety documentation needed to evaluate the extract.
How is it sold, and what about minimum order and sampling?
It is sold as a bulk ingredient to formulators and manufacturers. Pricing is available by requesting a formal quote — our team quotes to your volume and specifications. Request a sample and a quote, and our team will scope minimum order quantity to your project needs.
