Artichoke
Choleretic and regulator of bile flow acing on lipid metabolism.
The artichoke is the hepatoprotective plant par excellence: excellent as a choleretic, regulator of bile flow acting on lipid metabolism by decreasing the production of cholesterol and endogenous triglycerides and increasing excretion or redistribution in natural deposits. Thanks to the hepatoprotective action, a decrease of toxins in the blood usually associated with renal dysfunction has also been observed. The choleretic and hepatoprotective action takes place through activities on urea metabolism: Artichoke extracts in fact help to decrease azotemia by stimulating the hepatic transformation of nitrogenous molecules imperfectly processed by impaired liver function and barely diffusible by the kidney.
