WHAT IS ARTICHOKE EXTRACT?
Artichoke extract is derived from the leaves, stems, and roots of the artichoke plant, creating a concentrated powder rich in natural chemicals. This extract is widely used in medicine and has various potential health benefits.
Artichoke extract is primarily used to treat indigestion and high cholesterol levels. While it has been used to treat other conditions like high blood pressure, hepatitis C, and irritable bowel syndrome, more scientific evidence is needed to support its effectiveness in these areas. In the food industry, artichoke leaves and extracts are used to enhance flavors in beverages and, due to the presence of cynarin and chlorogenic acid, can be used as sweeteners.
