The artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a herbaceous plant cultivated for food use. Its flower buds, before flowering, are a vegetable rich in fibre, minerals and vitamins. Both the leaf extract and the artichoke itself can be found in dietary supplements. These parts contain phytoactive substances, such as cynarin and chlorogenic acid, which are antioxidants, as well as luteolin, which may help to maintain blood cholesterol levels. All of these are phytoactives which also help to improve digestion (eupeptic function and support the secretion of bile fluids).
Artichoke is a hepatoprotective food: it contributes to liver and gallbladder health. And it is a source of inulin, a prebiotic fibre that helps maintain the intestinal microbiota. People with established biliary problems should carefully assess whether its use is appropriate. In any case, bear in mind that the function of each dietary supplement will depend on the type of extract it contains and the quantity of some of the active substances. Therefore, not all artichoke supplements provide the same effect. In the context of a weight loss diet, in addition to using the supplement, it is essential to exercise and follow a balanced diet.
