ARTICHOKE EXTRACT 5%
This product is not available at the moment
Artichoke is a plant native to the Mediterranean area. The leaf, stem, and root are used to make extracts, which are used as medicine.
Artichoke is also commonly consumed as a food. It contains chemicals that can reduce nausea and vomiting, spasms, and gas. These chemicals have also been shown to lower cholesterol and protect the liver.
People commonly use artichoke for indigestion and high levels of cholesterol or other fats in the blood. It is also used for high blood pressure, hepatitis C, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support most of these uses.
*The US FDA has not evaluated these ingredient claims. The nutraceutical ingredient is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
