Artichoke Extract Health Benefits:5.Cardiovascular health.:

Early research on the ability of artichoke leaf extract to promote digestion led to the discovery of its application for cardiovascular health. Researchers noted that artichoke leaf helped reduce cholesterol levels and prevent atherosclerotic deposits. More recent research confirms these findings.

 In one 12-week, double-blind study, artichoke leaf extract was found to decrease cholesterol levels significantly in those who had high (more than 220mg/dI) cholesterol levels to begin with. Artichoke leaf extract had a tendency to increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels. The study also found that those subjects with the highest beginning cholesterol levels showed the most significant change.

 A six-week study of more than 300 subjects showed an average reduction in serum cholesterol of nearly 12 percent, and a reduction in serum triglycerides of nearly 13 per cent.
