The artichoke, whose botanical name is Cynara scolymus, is a perennial thorn that grows in the Mediterranean region. It is best known for its heart, which is used in cooking as a nutritious vegetable. Although it is customary to consume the heart of the artichoke, its leaves have been scientifically studied and shown to have numerous health benefits.
From treating indigestion to hypertension, the benefits of artichoke extract are numerous. In traditional herbal medicine, it has a long history as a therapeutic practice for digestive and liver health issues.
Artichoke leaf extract contains the following compounds:
- Cynarin – this compound acts on liver cells and increases bile production. Cynarin acts as a diuretic. It supports kidney function and removes toxins from the body;
- Cynaropoikil – a compound responsible for the bitter taste of artichoke;
- Cynarozide – a flavonoid with powerful anti-inflammatory properties;
- Sterols – beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol are some of the plant sterols found in artichokes that help reduce the amount of cholesterol absorbed from the intestines into the bloodstream;
- Organic acids such as malic acid.
Artichokes are rich in antioxidants, and artichoke extract provides them in an even more concentrated form. The main antioxidant in artichoke extract is caffeic acid, which helps neutralize damaging free radicals.
Health benefits
- Supports natural cholesterol levels
One of the biggest benefits of artichoke extract is that it can help lower “bad” LDL cholesterol, while helping to raise “good” HDL cholesterol.
- Supports normal liver function
Artichoke extract can help produce bile, which helps remove harmful toxins from the liver. The extract contains two types of antioxidants (cynarin and silymarin) that reduce inflammation in the liver.
- Helps maintain good digestive health
Artichoke leaf extract may help improve the microbiome in the gastrointestinal tract, maintaining a balance of good bacteria in the digestive system while improving symptoms of indigestion.
Approximately 70% of the immune system is located in the gastrointestinal tract. Artichoke leaf extract is known to provide a natural boost to the body's immune system. It can help the body respond better to infectious processes and improve homeostasis.
- Regulates arterial blood pressure
Artichoke contains antihypertensive components that help lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. The extract supports the enzyme eNOS, which improves cardiovascular health.
- Supports overall health of the body
Artichoke leaf extract is rich in nutrients such as:
- Vitamin C - strengthens the immune system;
- Vitamin A - protects eyes, skin and bones;
- Vitamin K - supports cognitive health, heart and bone health;
