• Traditionally used to help support cholesterol, constipation, abdominal pain and cramps, gallstones and much more.
Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) is a large thistle-like plant is native to the regions of southern Europe, North Africa, and the Canary Islands. The artichoke is one of the world's oldest nutraceutical plants. The ancient Egyptians placed great value on the plant - it is clearly seen in drawings involving fertility and sacrifice. Moreover, this plant was used by the ancient Greeks and Romans as a digestive aid. In sixteenth-century Europe, the artichoke was favored as a food by royalty. It can also be tried to lower cholesterol, as a digestive aid, for liver protection and gallstones.
Artichoke leaves contain a wide number of active constituents, including cynarin, 1,3 dicaffeoylquinic acid, 3-caffeoylquinic acid, and scolymoside. The choleretic (bile stimulating) action of the plant has been well documented in a placebo- controlled trial involving 20 healthy volunteers. After the administration of 1.92 grams of standardized artichoke extract directly into the duodenum, liver bile flow increased by 127.3% and 151.5% at the 30- and 60-minute mark, respectively. This choleretic effect has led to the popular use of artichoke extract in Europe for the potential to help support symptoms of mild dyspepsia and indigestion-particularly following a meal high in fat. In an open-label study with 553 persons suffering from non-specific digestive disorders (including dyspepsia and indigestion), 320-640 mg of a standardized artichoke extract taken three times per day was found to help support nausea, abdominal pain, constipation, and flatulence in over 70% of the study participants.
The plant can also be employed therapeutically in supporting elevated lipid levels, although with mixed results. For example, a research study in the late 1970s using cynarin at a daily amount of either 250 mg or 750 mg concluded that it did not alter cholesterol and triglyceride levels in patients with familial high cholesterol after three months of therapy. In contrast, however, a recent open-label European study (partially summarized above) suggests that artichoke is efficacious in altering lipid values. After using a standardized artichoke extract (320 mg/capsule) at an amount of one to two capsules two to three times a day for six weeks, total cholesterol and triglyceride values decreased significantly by an average of 11.5% and 12.5%, respectively. HDL-cholesterol levels did not rise significantly. The results of this study, however, must be questioned because of the lack of dietary control and the lack of a placebo group.
While scientists are not certain how artichoke leaves lower cholesterol, test tube studies have suggested that the action may be due to an inhibition of cholesterol synthesis and/or the increased reduction of cholesterol because of the plant's choleretic action. In test tube studies, the flavonoids from the artichoke (e.g., luteolin) have been shown to help avoid LDL-cholesterol oxidation. Moreover, artichoke leaves may be liver protective, as test tube results have demonstrated its effectiveness against carbon tetrachloride-induced toxicity.

Artichoke leaf can be used to help support liver and gallbladder problems, helping lower cholesterol, weight gain, tired limbs, and additionally it is used in small doses before meals to address digestive weakness. Artichoke contains an acid substance called cinarin, along with inulin, enzymes, tannin, and sugars. Pharmacological actions include hepatic, biliary fluidifying, cholagogic, diuretic, digestive, anti-cholesterol, and fat reducing. Artichoke originates from the Mediterranean area, where it is found wild on the island of Crete. It has a long traditional usage as a general detoxifier especially for liver issues.

A popular cholesterol-lowering herb in Ayurveda, guggulipid (a resin produced from the myrrh tree), contains a resinous compound called guggulsterone which, as studies suggest, may be effective for reducing total cholesterol and triglyceride levels. There are a number of clinical studies in Indian literature that support this notion, including a study at Kerala University which established that "guggul given to laboratory animals reduced their blood lipid levels quickly and effectively without side effects."
Artichoke extracts have also been shown to maintain cholesterol in a healthy range in both humans and animals. In a double-blind German study from 2000 involving 143 patients who had high cholesterol, artichoke leaf lowered total cholesterol 18.5% as compared to 8.6% in the placebo group; LDL cholesterol by 23% vs. 6%; and LDL-to-HDL ratios by 20% vs. 7%. In a follow-up study with volunteers who already had healthy cholesterol, it had no effect.
