What is Artichoke Extract powder?

Sep 21, 2023

Cynara scolymus, also known as artichoke, is a perennial plant in the thistle or daisy family. It is a delicacy in many parts of the world, and its extract is used for a variety of health benefits. Artichoke extract is extracted from the plant's long, serrated leaves. This is the part of the plant with the highest concentration of biologically active compounds, which are thought to be the health benefits of artichoke extract.
The artichoke is one of the world's oldest cultivated plants, native to Northern Africa, the Canary Islands, and Europe. Artichoke cultivation as a food and health source dates back to ancient Egypt, but extracts did not become available until 1934. The first form of artichoke extract discovered and used was cynarin. At the time, it was thought that cynarin was the plant's only active component. It was mostly used to lower cholesterol and stimulate the liver.
Other active compounds have been discovered and extracted from the plant since then. Artichoke extract now contains a wide range of substances, including luteolin, scolymoside, and flavinoids, which are thought to improve health in a variety of ways. The extract can be used to cleanse the liver, aid digestion, and lower cholesterol.
