RN Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) Extract 2 fl. oz.
Manufactured by:
Raintree Nutrition

|
Artichoke is popular for its pleasant bitter taste, which is
attributed mostly to a plant chemical called cynarin found in the green
parts of the plant. Cynarin is considered one of artichoke's main biologically
active chemicals. Other documented "active" chemicals include flavonoids,
sesquiterpene lactones, polyphenols and caffeoylquinic acids. Raintree
Nutrition's Concentrated Artichoke Extract uses new and proprietary extraction
methods to concentrate and preserve the active ingredients found in this
wonderful plant. Concentration and extraction methods provide the equivalent of
500 mg of artichoke leaf and fruit per milliliter of extract.

gallbladder bile stimulant; for high cholesterol; for digestive disorders; for
