It is important to understand that today more than ever, it is necessary to protect your liver from all the toxins to which it is exposed. We need to understand the importance of the liver, how it works and what it does to help us stay healthy. It would not be wrong to say that the liver is one of the most important organs in the human body and one that could be particularly vulnerable and devastating.
The liver is a very important organ, both because of its size and the role it plays at the physiological level. Its location allows it to perform functions that are essential to life: it is placed in the path of the blood stream that comes from the intestine, nd so it can control all food intake. In living creatures that do not feed continuously, the liver is able to continuously metabolize the nutrients ingested intermittently to provide the body with a constant stream of materials that can be converted into energy. Of the diversity of its functions, we can cite: the regulation of blood sugar levels, protein synthesis (serum-albumin, fibrinogen, prothrombin complex), synthesis and degradation of fats (lipids), detoxification (processing of poisons, metabolic residues and other chemical toxins), the elaboration of urea for elimination, the elaboration of bile salts.
The liver is a red-brown organ. It has a fairly firm consistency and yet it is brittle, fragile and can be depressed by the neighboring organs. It is the largest organ of the body. Its weight is about 1500 grams on the corpse. In the living, the liver contains in addition 800 to 900 grams of blood. It measures an average of 28 centimeters in the transverse direction, 16 centimeters high and 8 centimeters thick, in the largest region of the right lobe. It is a thoraco-abdominal organ. Most of this gland is housed under the very deep right diaphragmatic dome that separates the liver from the right lung and part of the heart. It overhangs the right part of the abdominal viscera to which it is connected by vessels (portal vein and hepatic artery which bring blood; suprahepatic veins which ensure its drainage) and by bile ducts which allow the evacuation of bile towards the intestine.
Any disturbance in liver function leads to a so-called liver disease. There are different types of liver diseases; what they have in common is that they affect the structure and function of the liver. Liver disease can be caused by viruses, drugs, alcohol, genetic defects and exposure to toxic chemicals. Like skin, blood and bones, the liver is designed to regenerate itself to respond to regular wear and tear and injury. Liver failure occurs when this process is inhibited, ineffective or non-existent. This can be the result of acute trauma to the liver or the evolution of chronic liver failure over time. Liver failure can be a complication of other diseases including diabetes, heart failure, kidney failure or alcoholism.
The liver is responsible for many essential functions in the body and in the event of liver disorders, these functions can cause significant damage to the body. Some common signs and symptoms associated with liver disease include nausea, vomiting, decreased appetite, jaundice, moderate fever, abdominal pain, slowness, hormonal imbalances, acne, headaches and fatigue.
In our literally toxic modern society, maintaining liver health is more important than ever. Because of its vital role, plants have always been used to protect this organ and improve its functioning. Milk thistle has been used for more than 2000 years because it contains sylimarin. The artichoke is also to be classified in the effective plants thanks to an active substance which it contains: cynarine.
WHAT IS MILK THISTLE OR MILK THISTLE?
The milk thistle, also called Saint Mary Thistle or Thistle is an edible herbaceous plant native to the hot and dry regions of southern Europe, North Africa and countries around the Mediterranean. Saint Mary Thistle has been used to treat liver and gall bladder problems for over 2,000 years, and has become very popular in the nutraceutical market as a liver tonic.
The medicinal ingredient in milk thistle is silymarin, an extract of milk thistle seeds. Silymarin contains 4 phytochemical actives: silybin (the most active), isosilybin, silychristine and silydianine. Silymarin by strengthening the outer membranes of liver cells helps to prevent the penetration of harmful toxins into the liver and neutralize the cellular damage caused by toxins to the liver (its antioxidant action is 10 times greater than that found in vitamin E). It helps to increase protein synthesis, helps to reduce fibrinolytic activity by reducing the action of liver enzymes responsible for liver inflammation. Milk Thistle has been shown to reduce damage to liver cells caused by the repeated use of certain prescription drugs, alcohol and other pollutants.
The ancient Greeks were already using milk thistle to treat liver and biliary disorders. Pliny the Elder recommended to take the juice of the plant mixed with honey for eliminate excess bile”. In the Middle Ages, it was said that the plant could chase away “melancholy” or “black bile”, a condition associated with various liver-related diseases. In the 19th century, doctors of the American eclectic school used it to treat varicose veins, menstrual disorders and congestions of the liver, gall bladder and kidneys. In Europe today, milk thistle is found in several pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of various liver and biliary disorders. Europeans have also cultivated it for culinary purposes.
The milk thistle owes its name to a legend: the Virgin Mary, traveling from Egypt to Palestine, is said to have breastfed the baby Jesus near a thistle grove. A few drops of her milk fell on the leaves, creating the white veins characteristic of this species. This legend may also be the origin of a traditional indication, whose effectiveness has never been scientifically proven, that milk thistle promotes lactation.
Milk Thistle is a hepatoprotective, regenerator, antioxidant, detoxifier, energy booster, diuretic, hypoglycemic, antidepressant, emollient and natural tonic.
WHAT IS ARTICHOKE?
The artichoke is a vegetable plant of which one consumes the floral bud (or capitulum). It belongs to the large family of Asteraceae, which includes a multitude of species, many of which are used as food or as medicinal plants. Also called “Spanish Cardoon”, the artichoke derives from the wild Thistle and finds its origins in the Mediterranean basin.
The artichoke is one of the oldest cultivated plants in the world and its history goes back more than 2,000 years. It was first cultivated in Ethiopia and then moved to southern Europe via Egypt. The Greeks and Romans used artichoke to aid digestion. In the 16th century, in Europe, it was considered a “noble” vegetable reserved for the table of the kings and lords of Europe. Louis XIV consumed it regularly and its incredible longevity is attributed to this high consumption of artichoke. Indeed suffering from taste and cholesterol for a long time, it has succeeded in live quite normally. Since then, it has been scientifically demonstrated that the artichoke, in addition to its slimming virtues, helps to actively fight against diabetes and cholesterol. In traditional European medicine, artichoke leaves were used as a diuretic and choleretic. In France, the Explanatory Note of the Agency of the drug (1998) admits that it is possible to use the artichoke leaf to facilitate the functions of urinary and digestive elimination and as choleretic or cholagogue. The beneficial effects of artichoke on the liver and gallbladder biliary are known for a long time and are usually appreciated the day after a heavy New Year’s Eve party.
Considering its composition, the Artichoke is one of the richest vegetables in the green world. It contains antioxidants, inulin and dietary fiber. In addition, it contains the following main vitamins and minerals:
Vitamin B1. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B1. Also called thiamin, this vitamin is part of a coenzyme necessary for the production of energy mainly from the carbohydrates we ingest. It also participates in the transmission of nerve impulses and promotes normal growth.
Vitamin B2. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B2. This vitamin is also known as riboflavin. Like vitamin B1, it plays a role in the energy metabolism of all cells. In addition, it contributes to the growth and repair of tissues, the production of hormones and the formation of red blood cells.
Vitamin B3. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B3. Also called niacin, vitamin B3 is involved in many metabolic reactions and contributes particularly to the production of energy from the carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and alcohol that we ingest. It also contributes to the process of DNA formation, allowing normal growth and development.
Pantothenic acid. Artichoke is a source of pantothenic acid. Also called vitamin B5, pantothenic acid is part of a key coenzyme that allows us to adequately use the energy present in the food we eat. It is also involved in several stages of the synthesis (manufacturing) of steroid hormones, neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses) and hemoglobin.
Vitamin B6. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B6. This vitamin, also known as pyridoxine, is part of coenzymes that participate in the metabolism of proteins and fatty acids as well as the synthesis (manufacture) of neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses). It also contributes to the manufacture of red blood cells and allows them to carry more oxygen. Pyridoxine is also necessary for the transformation of glycogen into glucose and helps the immune system function properly. Finally, this vitamin plays a role in the formation of certain components of nerve cells and in the modulation of hormone receptors.
Vitamin C. Artichoke is a source of vitamin C. The role that vitamin C plays in the body goes beyond its antioxidant properties; it also contributes to healthy bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. In addition, it protects against infections, promotes the absorption of iron from plants and speeds healing.
DESCRIPTION
Copper. Artichoke is an excellent source of copper. As a constituent of several enzymes, copper is necessary for the formation of hemoglobin and collagen (a protein used for tissue structure and repair) in the body. Several copper-containing enzymes also contribute to the body’s defense against free radicals.
Magnesium. Artichoke is a good source of magnesium. Magnesium is involved in bone development, protein building, enzyme actions, muscle contraction, dental health and immune system function. It also plays a role in energy metabolism and in the transmission of nerve impulses.
Iron. The artichoke is a good source of iron for men and a source for women, their needs being different. Every cell in the body contains iron. This mineral is essential for the transport of oxygen and the formation of red blood cells in the blood. It also plays a role in the production of new cells, hormones and neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses).
Manganese. The artichoke is a good source of manganese for women and a source for men, their needs being different. Manganese acts as a cofactor of several enzymes that facilitate a dozen different metabolic processes. It also helps prevent free radical damage.
Folate. Artichoke is a good source of folate. Folate (vitamin B9) is involved in the production of all cells in the body, including red blood cells. This vitamin plays an essential role in the production of genetic material (DNA, RNA), in the functioning of the nervous and immune systems, and in the healing of wounds and sores. As it is necessary for the production of new cells, adequate consumption is essential during periods of growth and for the development of the fetus.
Vitamin K. Artichoke is a good source of vitamin K for women and a source for men, their needs being different. Vitamin K is necessary for the synthesis (manufacture) of proteins that collaborate in blood coagulation (both stimulation and inhibition of blood clotting). It also plays a role in bone formation. In addition to being found in food, vitamin K is made by bacteria in the intestine, hence the rarity of deficiencies in this vitamin.
Calcium. Artichoke is a source of calcium. Calcium is by far the most abundant mineral in the body. It is mostly stored in the bones, of which it is an integral part. It contributes to the formation of bones and teeth, as well as to the maintenance of their health. Calcium also plays an essential role in blood clotting, maintenance of blood pressure and contraction of muscles (including the heart).
Phosphorus. Artichoke is a source of phosphorus (see our Phosphorus Nutrients fact sheet). Phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body after calcium. It plays an essential role in the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. In addition, it participates in the growth and regeneration of tissues and helps maintain normal blood pH levels. Finally, phosphorus is one of the constituents of cell membranes.
Potassium. Artichoke is a source of potassium. In the body, it is used to balance the pH of the blood and to stimulate the production of hydrochloric acid by the stomach, thus promoting digestion. In addition, it facilitates the contraction of muscles, including the heart, and participates in the transmission of nerve impulses.
Zinc. Artichoke is a source of zinc. Zinc is involved in immune reactions, the production of genetic material, taste perception, wound healing and the development of the fetus. It also interacts with sex and thyroid hormones. In the pancreas, it is involved in the synthesis (manufacture), storage and release of insulin.
Vitamin B1. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B1. Also called thiamin, this vitamin is part of a coenzyme necessary for the production of energy mainly from the carbohydrates we ingest. It also participates in the transmission of nerve impulses and promotes normal growth.
Vitamin B2. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B2. This vitamin is also known as riboflavin. Like vitamin B1, it plays a role in the energy metabolism of all cells. In addition, it contributes to the growth and repair of tissues, the production of hormones and the formation of red blood cells.
Vitamin B3. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B3. Also called niacin, vitamin B3 is involved in many metabolic reactions and contributes particularly to the production of energy from the carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and alcohol that we ingest. It also contributes to the process of DNA formation, allowing normal growth and development.
Pantothenic acid. Artichoke is a source of pantothenic acid. Also called vitamin B5, pantothenic acid is part of a key coenzyme that allows us to adequately use the energy present in the food we eat. It is also involved in several stages of the synthesis (manufacturing) of steroid hormones, neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses) and hemoglobin.
Vitamin B6. Artichoke is a source of vitamin B6. This vitamin, also known as pyridoxine, is part of coenzymes that participate in the metabolism of proteins and fatty acids as well as the synthesis (manufacture) of neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses). It also contributes to the manufacture of red blood cells and allows them to carry more oxygen. Pyridoxine is also necessary for the transformation of glycogen into glucose and helps the immune system function properly. Finally, this vitamin plays a role in the formation of certain components of nerve cells and in the modulation of hormone receptors.
Vitamin C. Artichoke is a source of vitamin C. The role that vitamin C plays in the body goes beyond its antioxidant properties; it also contributes to healthy bones, cartilage, teeth and gums. In addition, it protects against infections, promotes the absorption of iron from plants and speeds healing.
HEALTHY LIVER FORMULA DESCRIPTION
NG4L Healthy Liver is a combination of the two most famous plants for the maintenance of liver function: Milk Thistle and Artichoke. These two plants contain substitutes essential to the functioning of the liver, sylimarin and cynarin. They are protectors, cleansers and re generators of the liver.
One of the most beneficial actions of Milk Thistle is that it prevents the depletion of glutathione, a crucial substance for the detoxification function of the liver. Milk Thistle also stimulates protein synthesis in liver cells, which helps regenerate new liver cells and repair the liver. It can relieve a host of liver-related ailments, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis. Milk Thistle supports the metabolic functions of your liver in the metabolism of fats, carbohydrates, proteins and the storage of vitamins and minerals. It also optimizes the protection of the liver against alcohol, drugs, pollutants and all forms of toxins. Most of the healing properties of NG4L Healthy Liver coincide with its ability to help liver function at a higher level. Furthermore, since the liver metabolizes hormones, food and other nutrients, it would be logical to infer that normal liver function would help to stem the medical problems associated with the metabolism of these substances.
The artichoke in this formula, has depurative properties but also choleretic. It stimulates the biliary secretion by the liver and the evacuation of vesicular bile thanks to cynarin or dicafeylquinic acid. Cynarin is essentially concentrated in the stem and leaves of the artichoke. On the other hand, artichoke polyphenols are believed to help fight liver cancer by causing apoptosis of liver cancer cells. The artichoke facilitates especially the elimination of urinary: it is slightly diuretic thanks to its potassium and inulin. It regulates the transit and is particularly useful during pregnancy.

Who can benefit from using NG4L Healthy Liver Formular?
This formula is wonderful and appropriate for anyone who uses alcohol, recreational drugs, prescription drugs, or is subject to the environmental pollution, pesticides and toxins of contemporary life.
Those who consume large quantities of overheated, hydrogenated food, such as French fries, fried chicken, doughnuts etc., are more likely to be overheated. These overheated “junk foods” are a major source of lipid peroxides of trans fatty acids that are toxic to the liver. Lipid peroxides are highly immunosuppressive and damage liver cell membranes. Trans fatty acids suppress the production of PGE1, a major prostaglandin for anti-inflammatory protection of the liver.
Coffee drinkers. Carcinogenic hydrocarbons are produced during cooking, and dark roasts are the worst offenders. Coffee is often sprayed with high levels of pesticides.
Regular alcohol users. The liver transforms alcohol into toxic acetaldehyde during its process of alcoholic detoxification. Acetaldehyde inhibits the production of PGE1. It is a powerful free radical inducer and is largely responsible for the damage to the liver, brain, heart, kidneys, skin and vascular bed often associated with chronic alcoholism.
Smokers. While many people are aware of the negative effect of smoking on the lungs, less consideration is generally given to its effects on the liver. Tobacco and marijuana smoke are rich in toxic benzopyrene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, cyanide, acetaldehyde, acrolein, tars, etc. Since these substances enter the bloodstream through the lungs, the liver must eliminate them. However, almost all of the constituents of these airborne particles are known to be at least moderately damaging to the liver.
People who drive in crowded environments, in constant contact with car exhaust. Exhaust gases contain dozens of harmful toxins that must be eliminated by the liver, including lead, sulfur and nitrogen oxides, acetaldehyde, cadmium, peroxy-acetyl-nitrile and more.
Women who use birth control pills and people with a diet low in protein and B vitamins. In some cases, even as little as two or three weeks of use have been documented to ruin the liver’s ability to naturally eliminate estrogen. The liver of women with a vitamin B and protein deficient diet is likely to have difficulty metabolizing non-toxic estrogen, giving way to hepatotoxic estradiol. Estradiol is the form associated with emotional states, including hyper-explosive temperament and obsessive-compulsive tendencies.
Patients suffering from candidiasis: Candida yeast ferments dietary sugars into hepatotoxic acetaldehyde, during the process of converting sugar into energy. Candida also appears to increase levels of ammonia, another liver toxin, in the intestine and urinary tract.
People who are regularly exposed to higher levels of pesticide. Farmers, growers, people who work in pest control agencies, gas stations, chemical industries, are regularly exposed to high doses of pesticides such as DDT, aldrin, chlordane, lindane, 2,4,5 T dioxin and toxaphene that can cause chronic liver damage, even at body levels measured in parts per billion. They tend to accumulate in fatty tissue throughout life.
People under long-term chemical treatment. Prescription drugs such as Dilantin, Phenobarbital, Nizoral, antiretrovirals, antibiotics for tuberculosis, etc., are some of the many drugs that are potentially toxic to the liver.
People with digestive problems with a tendency to constipation.
People requiring adequate vitamin and mineral intake such as pregnant and nursing women.
Athletes using synthetic anabolics, hormones such as testosterone. Indeed, liver damage is one of the medically recognized important side effects of steroid abuse.
MAIN APPLICATIONS
Treatment of acute and chronic liver disease: This herb is the first plant in the treatment of liver disease. Milk thistle protects and regenerates the liver in most liver diseases such as cirrhosis, hepatitis and cholangitis. Milk thistle is the first of the plants commonly used in the world for liver health. In fact, Milk Thistle extract is prescribed to treat fungal poisoning, cirrhosis of the liver, chronic hepatitis from viral, bacterial or metabolic causes. In the largest study conducted to date, the use of milk thistle for chronic liver disease has been specifically studied. More than 2,500 people suffering from this disease showed an improvement in their liver function tests when taking the extract. Many also reported feeling better.
People suffering from an acute form of liver disease (acute viral hepatitis) also benefited from the virtues of milk thistle. In a double-blind study reported in 1998, the extract improved liver function test results, accelerated recovery and reduced the length of hospital stay for patients taking milk thistle extract compared to those given a placebo. Other studies have shown that Milk Thistle can be used to treat chronic viral hepatitis B or C.
Cleansing and detoxifying. One of the tasks of the liver is to purify the blood. If the blood has a deficit of physiological, metabolic or pathological etiology, then it cannot effectively assume this crucial task. Milk Thistle is a powerful plant when it comes to supporting the liver in its blood-purifying function. It is one of the best examples of preventive medicine today, because not only does it protect every cell in the liver from endogenous toxins, but simultaneously encourages the liver to rid itself of harmful substances such as alcohol, drugs, medications, mercury, heavy metals, pesticides, anesthetic substances and even toxins from poisonous fungi such as amanite (traditionally known as the death chalice). Most of the healing properties of milk thistle coincide with its ability to raise liver function to an optimal level.
Liver disorders associated with alcohol and drug use. Drugs and alcohol induce liver damage, decreased liver enzymes and inflammation associated with viral hepatitis. Milk Thistle extract is used to maintain the health of the liver and protect it from the effects of toxins such as alcohol, drugs and environmental pollutants related to a wide range of liver problems. This plant acts to improve liver function and regenerate new liver cells in cases of cirrhosis, to aid in detoxification in cases of liver cancer and to help treat gallbladder dysfunction. On the other hand, it is a wonderful plant against hangover. Ingested before and after taking alcohol, it helps to relieve hangover symptoms and detoxify the liver. It also helps to protect the liver in people who take prescription medication and are known to elevate liver enzymes.
Psoriasis, eczema and other skin conditions. As already mentioned, one of the functions of the liver is to purify the blood. Any deficit in the functioning of the liver, whether physiological, pathological or metabolic, prevents the liver from effectively performing this crucial function. Toxemia can then be observed in this context, the main manifestations of which are cutaneous; they can range from acne to psoriasis, eczema, and even dermatitis. Studies tend to establish a close link between pruritic (itchy) skin conditions, psoriasis and liver dysfunction. In fact, it has been noted that people with liver failure are the most prone to skin disorders. Milk Thistle is particularly effective in supporting the liver in its blood purification function. In addition, it reduces inflammation in cases of dermatitis and significantly improves liver function, which is often impaired in people with psoriasis. It is therefore particularly effective for the skin conditions mentioned above.
Endometriosis, premenstrual syndrome and other hormonal problems: The liver breaks down excess hormones such as estrogen. A diet high in estrogen may, if related to inadequate liver function, lead to a decrease in estrogen intake an estrogen dominance in the body. This is the situation created by a lack of progesterone to counterbalance estrogen.
The main symptoms of estrogen dominance are allergic symptoms (asthma, hives, skin rashes or sinus congestion), autoimmune diseases (lupus, etc.), and other symptoms of estrogen deficiency.), breast sensitivity (breast nodules or cysts), cold limbs and slowed metabolism (thyroid dysfunction), decreased libido, depression accompanied by anxiety or restlessness, dry eyes, increased body fat (especially in the abdomen, hips and thighs), gallbladder disease, hair loss, headaches, water retention (edema), bloating, inability to concentrate, memory loss, increased blood clotting (increases the risk of stroke), menstrual disorders, irritability, mood swings, insomnia, excessive fatigue, loss of bone mass, premenstrual syndrome, uterine fibroids, and endometrial hyperplasia (cancer risk). It is important to note that many health care professionals, in these cases that reflect hormonal dysfunction, prescribe estrogen as a treatment to further aggravate the situation, since without knowing it, they only reinforce the dominance of estrogen.
The Milk Thistle allows the liver to improve the process of transformation and elimination of excess estrogen, thus contributing in the treatment of these conditions. Healthy liver function contributes to a better hormonal balance, thus helping to relieve symptoms of menopause, premenstrual syndrome, and other conditions related to hormonal dysfunction. In the long term, it helps prevent cystic diseases, fibroids and endometriosis.
Gastrointestinal tract. Milk Thistle is a mild and light laxative due to its ability to increase bile secretion and bile flow in the intestinal tract. This plant can indeed have actions going from the lubrication and the softening of the stools to that of a soft laxative. Bile is essential for the digestion of fats and thus for a better intestinal function. Maintaining this process is of paramount importance for a good digestive condition. Milk Thistle is a bitter herb that helps the digestion of fats. It helps digestive discomfort caused by overeating such as nausea and indigestion. It is also very effective for dyspepsia. Thistle is used effectively in cases of biliary insufficiency; however, it is important to exclude the presence of large gallstones before its use. The German Commission E and the WHO recognize its benefits in cases of dyspeptic complaints of hepatic or biliary origin. It is one of the most popular remedies sold in health food stores during Christmas festivities. All people who indulge
Fatty and tasty foods, sprinkled with a good shake of alcohol should take milk thistle to aid digestion on the one hand, and to relieve the symptoms associated with alcohol intake on the other.
Cancer prevention. Research suggests that milk thistle may have beneficial effects on skin cancers. It is also used to mitigate the harmful effects of chemotherapy. Furthermore, thanks to its ability to maintain hormonal balance and to prevent and treat cases of estrogen dominance, it is effective in preventing various types of tumours. On the other hand, studies have shown that the inulin contained in Artichoke plays a role in reducing the risk of colon cancer in humans, and other animal studies suggest that inulin may have a protective effect against breast and intestinal cancer.
Hemostatic. The liver is the organ responsible for the synthesis of coagulation factors. Because it improves liver function, Milk Thistle has hemostatic properties often used in cases of epistaxis and menorrhagia. Associated with artichoke, there is a strong synergy since artichoke is a good source of vitamin K.
Antioxidant. Milk Thistle is a powerful antioxidant, with much higher antioxidant capacity those of vitamins E and C. Antioxidants such as Milk Thistle help neutralize free radicals in the body. These are highly reactive molecules that attack and can damage the DNA of healthy cells. It has been shown that it is this cellular damage that is responsible for premature aging and many degenerative diseases. In addition, the edible parts of the artichoke contain a wide variety of antioxidants, such as certain phenolic compounds (chlorogenic acid, narirutin, apigenin-7-rutinoside, cynarine3) and anthocyanins (cyanidin, peonidin, delphinidin). Silymarin, a common antioxidant in artichoke and milk thistle, could contribute to the prevention and potentially to the specific treatment of cancer.
A study in animals has shown that ingestion of artichoke puree can inhibit the toxicity of a chemical compound that causes genetic damage. This effect could be attributed to the overall antioxidant content of the artichoke. To date, research has focused mainly on the effects of antioxidants from medicinal extracts of artichoke leaves and less on artichoke consumed as a vegetable.
Obesity. Very few people understand the role of the liver in weight loss. Improving liver function is almost always overlooked during the weight loss process. The liver is important for fat metabolism and blood purification. Since silymarin increases the action of the liver, it increases fat metabolism and thus facilitates weight loss. Taken for a period of two months, it will improve hepatic fat metabolism and stimulate weight loss.
Complications of diabetes: Studies show that silymarin can inhibit aldose reductase. This enzyme plays an important role in the accumulation of sorbitol (sugar) in retinal cells. Other processes are also involved in diabetic retinopathy, including oxidative stress. Thanks to its inhibitory effect on aldose reductase on the one hand and its antioxidant effects on the other hand, the enzyme is a key factor in the development of diabetic retinopathy.
On the other hand, Milk Thistle can prevent the eye damage responsible for diabetic retinopathy.
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: There are many possible causes of chronic fatigue syndrome. Anxiety and depression are psychological factors that cause many physiological illnesses. A malfunctioning liver can contribute to chronic fatigue syndrome. A damaged liver can increase the risk of infection and higher levels of toxins in our blood, contributing to situations that lead to chronic fatigue.
Cholesterol. Milk Thistle increases the metabolism of fats in the liver and therefore is favorable to the reduction of total cholesterol, LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides. In addition, studies tend to show a beneficial effect of Artichoke inulin on the regulation of blood lipids, especially in hyperlipidemic individuals.
Protection against the effects of antiretrovirals. With HIV disease, there is an increased production of free radicals in the body due to the infection itself on the one hand and due to the effects of antiretroviral drugs on the other. People living with HIV/AIDS have been shown to lack defenses against the effects of free radicals. The activity of the liver, and of course the kidneys, is particularly increased in people on ARVs, since both organs are directly involved in drug metabolism. Milk Thistle has been shown to help prevent liver and kidney damage by ARVs.
Intestinal malabsorption: Artichoke contains inulin, a non-digestible sugar of the fructan family. The inulin is qualified as prebiotic, i.e. it is not digested nor absorbed by the small intestine, but fermented by the bacterial flora of the colon. Beneficial bacteria in the intestine (e.g. bifidobacteria) can use inulin to grow and play their role in intestinal health and the immune system more effectively. These bacteria also contribute to the synthesis or absorption of several nutrients.
Constipation: Artichoke is a high source of dietary fibre. With 4.7 g for an artichoke of average size, it represents respectively 12% and 19% of the recommended daily fibre intake for men and women from 19 to 50 years old. The artichoke contains two types of fibre. In its heart, we find 18% insoluble fiber and 27% soluble fiber. While insoluble fibre is believed to prevent constipation, soluble fibre may help prevent cardiovascular disease and control type 2 diabetes.
In addition, a diet rich in a variety of fibre is associated with a lower risk of colon cancer and may help control appetite by bringing on a feeling of fullness more quickly.
Oedemas: Artichoke, one of the ingredients in this formula, has remarkable diuretic effects and like all diuretics, it causes loss of water, but not fat. On the other hand it could intervene in the feeling of satiety by an appetite suppressant effect. A Hungarian study has shown that among obese children and adults who follow a low-calorie diet, those who drank artichoke juice concentrate saw their feeling of hunger greatly diminished. Their body mass index also decreased.
States of deficiencies: Artichoke is an essential source of main vitamins and minerals: it is an excellent source Vitamin B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine) and B9 (folate). It also contains good amounts of Vitamins C and K. It is rich in minerals such as copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, calcium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc.
