Protects Your Liver

Artichoke has been shown to be a natural remedy which improve
various digestive health disorders, shown to significantly lowered

– plaque problems, enhance detoxification reactions, as well as protect
the liver from damage. This combination of benefits is very important
to healthy liver function. During detoxification of the liver, the
toxic substance is often initially converted to an even more toxic
form. Without adequate protection, every time the liver neutralizes a
toxin, it is damaged in this process. Artichoke extract has been shown
to provide these valuable preventative health benefits and protection.
