Artichoke Leaf Tincture 1 oz bottle. 
Benefits
Liver Health
As one of the most important bodily organs, the liver is responsible for bile production, fat metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, protein metabolism, immune function, vitamin and mineral storage, cholesterol production and cleaning the blood. It carries out over 500 distinct functions within the body, so keeping the liver in tip top condition is of paramount importance to overall vibrant health.
As well as cynarin, Artichokes contain silymarin – another phytonutrient that is more commonly associated with Milk Thistle. These two compounds work to accelerate liver regeneration, increase bile production, optimise gallbladder function and protect the liver from toxins, environmental pollutants and carcinogens.
The importance of bile production is hard to overstate, if enough bile is not produced by the liver, there is an increased risk of liver disease and other diseases caused by toxic overload. Bile is made in the liver and stored in the gallbladder and is secreted to aid in the digestive process. It mixes with stomach acids to facilitate digestion and nutrient absorption. Bile is also responsible for getting rid of certain waste products from the body, such as haemoglobin from destroyed red blood cells, toxins and excess cholesterol.
Digestive Health
Artichoke is rich in the prebiotic fibre “inulin” which helps to balance the microflora and feeds the good (probiotic) bacteria in the gut. Probiotics provide a host of health benefits, as they defend the digestive tract against harmful pathogens. They also help to break down food and eliminate toxins from the body.
Also a great source of general fibre, Artichokes can relieve diarrhoea and constipation by helping to normalise bowel movements. The inulin can add bulk to the stool and also works as a stool softener which helps to combat constipation. Fibre will slow down the overall digestive process, allowing for the assimilation of more nutrients from food consumed and keeps you feeling fuller for longer.
Finally, Artichokes are high in thiamine (vitamin B1), a crucial nutrient in maintaining healthy levels of hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Hydrochloric acid (HCL) is needed to initiate the breakdown of food within the digestive system and (contrary to popular belief), it is a lack of this acid that can cause indigestion. Insufficient HCL levels can cause poor digestion and inhibit the activation of critical enzymes that play a role in digestion. 
Heart Health
Artichokes and their leaves benefit the heart in a number of ways. They are rich in potassium, an essential mineral which helps to normalise blood pressure by neutralising excess sodium in the body. A study was conducted on 98 men with high blood pressure, and after 12 weeks of taking Artichoke extract a significant decrease in both diastolic and systolic blood pressure was observed.
The phytochemical  cynarin has also been found to normalise cholesterol levels which can lower the risk of developing heart disease and having a stroke or heart attack.
