The artichoke, whose botanical name is Cynara scolymus, is a perennial thorn that grows in the Mediterranean region. It is best known for its core, which is used in cooking as a nutritious vegetable. Although it is customary to eat the core of the artichoke, its leaves have been scientifically researched and shown to have numerous health benefits.
From dealing with indigestion to arterial 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 problems.
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 the functioning of the kidneys and removes toxins from the body;
- Cinnaropicrin – a compound responsible for the bitter taste of the artichoke;
- Cinnaroside – 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 gut 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
- Maintains 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 support the production of bile, thanks to which harmful toxins are removed 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. Thanks to this, the balance of good bacteria in the digestive system is maintained, while the symptoms of indigestion are improved.
Approximately 70% of the immune system is exported to the gastrointestinal tract. Artichoke leaf extract is known to provide a natural boost to the body's immune system. It can help the body react better to infectious processes and improve homeostasis.
- Regulates arterial blood pressure
Artichokes contain antihypertensive components that help lower blood pressure in people with mild hypertension. The extract supports the eNOS enzyme, which improves cardiovascular health.
- Maintains the 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, the condition of the heart and bones;
- Iron – supports hemoglobin, muscle endurance and immune function;
