Can You Take Hawthorn Berry and Taurine Together?

Dose or timing may matter

The short answer

Hawthorn and taurine both lower blood pressure. Hawthorn acts as a cardiotonic vasodilator while taurine has direct vasodilatory and sympatholytic properties. The combination may cause additive BP reduction.

How to arrange timing

Monitor blood pressure when using both supplements together.

Important context

Whether supplements suit you together also depends on dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
