Artichoke Extract
Artichoke extract is derived from the leaves of the artichoke plant and is often supplemented for its benefits in supporting digestive health and promoting liver function. It aids in increasing bile production, which helps with fat digestion and improves overall gut health. Rich in antioxidants, it also protects cells from oxidative stress.
In addition, artichoke extract is often used to help regulate cholesterol levels, increasing HDL (good cholesterol) while lowering LDL (bad cholesterol). Artichoke supplements are often used for heart health and its potential in promoting healthy liver and digestion.
