WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
Reprinted with permission of Life Extension
"Artichoke leaf extract is made from the long, serrated basal leaves of the plant in which is found the highest concentration of biologically active compounds. These compounds have demonstrated antioxidant action and the ability to maintain healthy digestion and liver function by promoting adequate bile flow. Bile serves as a major carrier of cholesterol and detoxified substances for excretion from the body.
The botanical extract in Artichoke Leaf Extract has been concentrated and standardized to ensure the highest quality, consistency, and biological activity."
CAUTIONS
It should not be taken by anyone with gallstones or biliary tract obstruction, or by anyone allergic to artichokes. Naturally, anyone pregnant or nursing should consult their physician.
