Artichoke Leaf Extract
Artichoke leaf extract is made from the long, serrated basal leaves of the plant, which contains the highest concen-tration of biologically active compounds. These compounds have demonstrated antioxidant action and the ability to maintain healthy digestion and liver function by promoting adequate bile flow (267-277). More findings show possible benefits for cardio-vascular health, endothelial function and healthy cholesterol levels within normal limits (278-285).
Bile serves as a major carrier of cholesterol and detoxified substances for excretion from the body. The botanical extract in Artichoke Leaf Extract has been concentrated and standardized to ensure the highest quality, consistency, and biological activity.
