Artichoke for the treatment of the liver: useful properties and effects

Artichoke has a proven positive effect on liver health. This herbal product is a rich source of active substances such as cynarine, quercetin and silymarin. They have antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-hepatotoxic properties that help protect the liver from damage and promote liver repair.

The most studied plant derivative of the artichoke is silymarin. It has strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Silymarin effectively protects liver cells from the effects of free radicals, which can become a source of damage. In addition, silymarin helps increase protein synthesis in the liver, which helps it perform its functions more efficiently.

Artichoke also helps lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels. This is important for liver health, as elevated cholesterol levels can lead to fatty liver disease, and triglycerides can cause liver inflammation.

All these properties make the artichoke very useful in treating and maintaining liver health. However, before including artichoke in your diet or starting treatment with it, it is recommended to consult a doctor or nutritionist. They will be able to recommend the correct dosage and take into account the individual characteristics of your body.

Side effects and contraindications

Artichoke is generally well tolerated by most people and rarely causes significant side effects.

However, in rare cases, some adverse reactions or side effects may occur when consuming artichoke. Some of these may include:

Increased urine output: Some people may notice an increase in the frequency of urination when eating artichoke. This is due to its diuretic properties. However, this can be normal and is rarely a cause for concern unless there are other symptoms.
