Best NaturalsArtichoke Extract 500 mg 180Capsule (180 Count (Pack of 1))

According to some studies, taking artichoke straight after a meal can increase bile production in the liver by over 127%. This is particularly useful for those who have suffered from an underproduction of bile due to fatty liver, sluggish liver, gallbladder obstruction (gallstones) etc.I recently suffered from gallstones due to a high cholesterol concentration in the bile entering the gallbladder, settling as a sludge and then forming solid stones over time. An excruciating 12 hours eventually ensued when a stone was forced out through the biliary duct! I vowed to never go through that again, but also, to avoid surgical removal of the gallbladder if possible.So, to prevent the formation of new stones naturally, the first step is to get the cholesterol in your liver down, through diet (low sugar, low saturated fat, high fibre), supplementation (omega 3s, Choline Inositol etc.), and exercise!After following this regimen for a few months, I then switched to step 2, which is getting the liver producing more bile again, now that it shouldn’t be pumping a tonne of cholesterol into the gallbladder. So far, this Artichoke supplement seems to be working very well at this, by increasing bile production and bile flow through the gallbladder. I started taking this product after every meal where the saturated fat content was higher than about 2g, and slowly over time I increased my saturated fat intake higher and higher (as these fats stimulate gallbladder contraction and emptying).This combination, along with the maintenance of a healthy, high fibre diet and exercise, so far seems to be doing a very good job of keeping the bile flowing, not allowing it to settle too long in the gallbladder and potentially forming stones again.You can also use this method as a preventative measure if you wish to never get gallstones (which I would advise!). Especially if you are someone at an increased risk of getting them; for example, males over 60, females over 50, or pregnant women of any age. I was a 30 year old male though, so it really can affect anyone.Moreover, this is also a highly useful supplement for those who have already had their gallbladder taken out, as your bile now only trickles out directly from the liver into the duodenum without prior storage and concentration in the gallbladder. Therefore, you might not produce enough to thoroughly break down the fats you eat, leaving you deficient in certain fat soluble vitamins etc.

These capsules are odourless, tasteless, and easy to swallow. Unlike similar products of some other brands.I use this product to improve digestion, particularly to relieve constipation. I take 1 capsule 30 mins before meals twice a day, in combination with Milk Thistle, Lecithin, and digestive enzymes. It stimulates the production of bile, which then flushes the waste out of your body.After 1 week of using the product, I am glad to say that I have no more bloating. My stomach is soft, I don't feel any spasms like I used to. Stools are now regular, without any strain or discomfort.Great product all in all, will definitely re-purchase.

Excellent price and easy to swallow, considering I suffer with a dry mouth. I have tried a lot of different brands over the years and am very happy with these. Quick delivery as well, will definitely order again.

I have high hopes for this product. As I'm on statins I hope the combination of the two will lower my cholesterol levels.

Really great value (prize vs artichoke concentration). Easy to take and follow

I like it it is very good supplement.

Very good for liver and gallbladder 👍
