Artichoke Extract

Description

The leaves, stems, and flower heads of the Mediterranean vegetable artichoke (Cynara scolymus) are used to make artichoke extract, a bioactive substance that has been used in traditional medicine since ancient Greek and Roman times to support liver and digestive health. It is widely known for its hepatoprotective (liver-supporting), choleretic (bile-stimulating), and digestive-enhancing qualities. It is typically sold as a fine, green to olive-green powder with a standardized content of key active compounds, such as luteolin glycosides, cynarin (2–8%), and chlorogenic acid (5–15%). As such, it is a valuable ingredient in the dietary supplement, functional food, and nutraceutical industries.

Competitive Advantage

Targeted Liver & Digestive Support Efficacy: Artichoke Extract addresses the interdependence of these systems (e.g., good bile flow supports both liver cleanse and fat digestion) and offers dual benefits for liver health and digestion, in contrast to generic digestive compounds (e.g., peppermint). Clinical trials confirm that it outperforms single-target compounds in lowering liver enzyme levels (ALT, AST) by 15–25% in people with mild liver stress and improving digestive comfort in 60–70% of users with bloating.

Standardized Active Compounds for Consistency: Rather than relying solely on "total phenolics," Premium Artichoke Extract is standardized to key bioactives (cynarin, chlorogenic acid), guaranteeing consistent efficacy across batches. Advanced extraction methods (such as aqueous ethanol extraction and supercritical CO₂) eliminate the variability of raw artichoke powder by avoiding contaminants and preserving heat-sensitive chemicals.

Clean Label & Dietary Compatibility: Artichoke Extract is made from non-GMO artichoke crops (high-quality varieties are frequently organic) and is devoid of artificial additives, fillers, or preservatives. It also complies with international "clean wellness" and "plant-based" trends. Because it works well with vegan, gluten-free, and Mediterranean diet items, it can accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements and grow its customer base.​

Multi-Industry Versatility: Because of its mild, earthy flavor that goes well with natural formulations, artichoke extract can be used in both functional foods (such as herbal teas, detox juices, and savory snacks) and nutraceuticals (such as liver, digestive, and cholesterol support). Manufacturers can introduce cross-category products thanks to this adaptability without sacrificing flavor or effectiveness.
