Artichoke

Description

Neo's artichoke is a perennial plant in the Asteraceae family. Of Mediterranean origin, it is a cultivation mutation, which over the centuries has been divided from common tuberose. The active part of this plant is the leaf, which contains phenolic acids, mainly caffeilquinic acids, among which chlorogenic, cryptochlorogenic, neo-chlorogenic, and cinnarin (the main active substance) stand out; flavonoids and sesquiterpene lactones, among other active compounds.

Properties and benefits of Artichoke

Traditionally, the artichoke has been used in all the processes involved in digestion :

• Eupeptic action : promotes proper digestion.
• Choleretic action : increases the production of bile.
• Cholagogue action : promotes the expulsion of bile.
• Antiemetic action : prevents nausea and vomiting.
• Appetizer action : promotes appetite.
• Its cholesterol- and triglyceride-lowering effect (and thus prevent atherosclerosis) has also been confirmed. Its hepatic protective action is combined with its antioxidant capacity against free radicals from its natural polyphenols.
