Artichoke Extract 500 Promotes Fat Digestion and Metabolism Artichoke is a great example of a nutritious plant that has benefits for many of your different body systems. For thousands of years, people have been using artichoke leaf extract to promote liver and digestive health. And now there is clinical research to support the benefits of this powerful extract. Source Naturals, the science company, introduces Artichoke Extract 500., a natural compound to support healthy fat digestion, cardiovascular function, liver health and digestive comfort. Traditionally, artichoke globes and their leaf extracts have been used to promote digestive health. But it is the leaves that contain the highest concentration of beneficial antioxidant polyphenolic compounds such as cynarin, luteolin and chlorogenic acids. Cynarin gives artichokes their pleasant bitter taste and was originally believed to be the only active component of artichoke extracts. However, researchers have discovered that the dried extract of the complete leaf is more potent than cynarin alone. Source Naturals ARTICHOKE EXTRACT 500 contains 500 mg of rtichoke leaf extract, standardized to 5% cynarin and 15% chlorogenic acids, to insure maximum potency. Artichoke extract stimulates bile production, promoting fat digestion and metabolism. By stimulating bile, Artichoke supports liver and gallbladder function and may help relieve occasional indigestion. Medical experts theorize that Artichoke may also inhibit activity of the cholesterol production enzyme HMG CoA Reductase to balance LDL cholesterol and trigylceride production in the liver for cardiovascular support.
