Key features

• 450mg artichoke extract per capsule
• Standardised to 5% cynarin
• Contains flavonoids such as luteolin and apigenin
• Vegetarian capsules

Cynarin is one of the characteristic compounds found in globe artichoke, and standardising the extract means each capsule provides a consistent amount of it. The flavonoids luteolin and apigenin are naturally occurring plant compounds also present in the extract.

Artichoke is better known as a vegetable on the dinner plate, but the leaf extract used here gives a far more concentrated form than you would get from eating the plant. Capsules are an easy way to include it without any bitter taste.

Available in a pack of 90 vcaps.
