The globe artichoke is a variety of a species of the thistle family that has been cultivated as a food. The edible portion of the plant consists of the flower buds before the flowers come into bloom.
Artichoke leaf extracts have demonstrated their possible ability to support the elimination channels of the body. This in turn would allow the body to work more efficiently in possibly preventing the buildup of mold, bacteria and yeast. In vitro studies have isolated a variety of antioxidant compounds from the globe artichoke, significant antioxidant activity has been documented in various preclinical studies. Researchers have also observed an increase in the presence of probiotic strains in inoculated volunteers, suggesting that not only do artichokes serve as an effective vehicle for delivery of probiotics but also may contain substances such as inulin, which may support growth of probiotic strains. Most importantly, artichokes were shown to possibly aid probiotic bacterial strains during simulated gastric and intestinal digestion.
Artichoke extract may possibly offer an additional degree of cardiovascular support via its overall healthy supportive effect on endothelial function. It may support the body’s healthy stimulation of bile secretion; and it has been suggested that reduction of intrahepatic cholesterol concentration is responsible for globe artichoke extracts ability to possibly reduce upset stomach. As to the scientifically purported cholesterol lowering effects, in vitro and animal studies report that cynarin and artichoke extracts may show promise in supporting healthy lipid levels, anti-hepatotoxic and hepatoprotective properties against a variety of toxins affecting the liver. Our Artichoke Leaf Extract Powder is a 5% extract (10:1 ratio) meaning each serving contains a 5% concentration of Cynarine.

The quality of the starting material is an essential prerequisite,since it may affect all the subsequent phases. Hence GMPs are applied already from these early steps to guarantee the characteristics of the final product. At this stage,there are a number of measures we employ:

√ supplier inspection and qualification

√ area selection

√ control of:

– harvesting period and harvesting method

– drying conditions

– storage

√ botanical identification of the fruit

√ quarantine of the biomass under monitored conditions

√ microbiological analysis

√ chemical analysis

√ control of contaminants, including:

– pesticides

– aflatoxins

– heavy metals

Only after all of these controls will the raw material be released for further processing or rejected due to non conformance with our strict requirements.
