From the Manufacturer:
Artichoke extract stimulates bile production, promoting fat digestion and metabolism. By stimulating bile, it supports liver and gallbladder function and may help relieve occasional indigestion. Medical experts theorize that it may also inhibit activity of the cholesterol production enzyme HMG CoA Reductase to balance LDL cholesterol and trigylceride production in the liver for cardiovascular support. Source Naturals Artichoke Extract 500™ is standardized to 5% cynarin and 15% chlorogenic acids for maximum potency.
