Artichoke Extract (Cynara Scolymus Extract)
Artichoke Extract, derived from the leaves of the distinct *Cynara scolymus* plant, is standardized to contain specific levels of active **Cynarin** and other chlorogenic acids. It is celebrated for its powerful ability to support liver detoxification, promote healthy bile flow, optimize digestion, and balance cholesterol levels, making it a cornerstone botanical for metabolic health and detoxification formulations.
What is Artichoke Extract?
Artichoke Extract is sourced from the dried leaves of the premium botanical Cynara scolymus L. Highly acclaimed for its functional properties, it is rich in a complex profile of key active compounds including Cynarin, other chlorogenic acids, other flavonoids, and sesquiterpene lactones. Unlike standard powders, it is standardized to guaranteed levels of Cynarin (HPLC/UV, ranging from 1% to 10% HPLC). The extract typically appears as a light yellow-brown to grey-brown fine powder.
Revered as a premier botanical for Liver and Gallbladder comfort, Artichoke is traditionally used to treat slow digestion, manage gas, bloating, and promote healthy, efficient detoxification pathways. Its potent bitter compounds directly stimulate healthy bile production and cholesterol balance.
