Artichoke Extract - Natural support that helps maintain normal digestion and support liver function.

Although it is known by many people as a vegetable, artichoke or "Cynara scolymus", which is the scientific name, it is a perennial herb that belongs to the family "Asteraceae", the same part of which is the sunflower, for example.

Artichoke is grown especially for its leaves which have a content of about 0.2-0.3% cinnarine (a powerful antioxidant with hepatoprotective action), for the bitter azulenogenic principles that help in detoxifying the liver, for enzymes, potassium salts, magnesium to.

 

ARTICHOKE CAN CONTRIBUTE TO LOW BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

A study2 published by Science Direct mentions that artichoke reduces postprandial glucose levels and thus insulin levels, 30 minutes after a meal. In addition, the administration of artichoke may help slow down the activity of alpha-glucosidase, a lysosomal enzyme that breaks down starch into glucose and influences the regulation of blood sugar.

 

OFFERS SUPPORT IN REGULATING INTESTINAL TRANSIT

Due to its high fiber content, artichoke consumption can help reduce constipation, help improve intestinal transit and provide support in weight loss. According to specialists, the fibers contained in an average artichoke represent about 25% of the recommended daily dose.


 

CONTRIBUTES TO MAINTAINING A NORMAL BLOOD CHOLESTEROL LEVEL

A study published by Research Gate3 shows that artichoke leaf extract can support lowering blood cholesterol. The research was performed on a group of 143 adult patients diagnosed with hypercholesterolemia, who were recommended the artichoke leaf extract, used daily for six weeks. The study found a decrease of 18.5% in total cholesterol and 22.9% in "bad" cholesterol (LDL). Experts say that the reason for these results was the presence of luteolin, a flavonoid found in artichoke leaves, which has an antioxidant role.


 

CAN HELP DETOXIFY THE LIVER AND BLADDER

Due to the fact that artichokes contain up to 6% cynaropicrin and cynarin, bitter substances with an antioxidant role that stimulate bile secretion, artichokes help detoxify the liver and gallbladder.





 

Artichoke Extract Benefits

 

• normal functioning of the digestive system:
• supports bile secretion (choleretic action) and promotes the elimination of bile juices in the duodenum (cholagogue action)
• balances the manifestations associated with slow digestion (abdominal discomfort, flatulence, bloating and vomiting)
• maintains normal intestinal peristalsis and balances delayed intestinal transit
• maintaining normal liver function:
• supports the detoxifying function of the liver and maintains the structure of liver cells against free radicals
• maintains cholesterol levels and supports the reduction of its deposition on the walls of blood vessels, by:
• balancing endogenous cholesterol synthesis (supports the reduction of the action of the enzyme HMG-CoA-hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase)
• promoting the breakdown of cholesterol into bile salts and their elimination by supporting bile flow
• maintains normal blood levels of carbohydrates, triglycerides and lipids
• supporting the structure and function of the intestinal mucosa
• maintaining normal blood pressure by promoting the elimination of water above normal limits in the body
