Artichoke Extract Health Benefits:10.Digestion.:

The first clinical studies on artichoke leaves and digestion were conducted as early as the 1930s. During the past five years, more studies have been conducted, with promising results. Studies have shown that artichoke leaf increases bile secretions significantly, one of the primary mechanisms by which it affects digestive disorders.

 In one six-week study of more than 500 patients with dyspeptic syndrome, 98 percent of those who were treated with artichoke leaf extract reported feeling "considerably better," "somewhat better," or "equal" compared to their treatment with other drugs. Specifically, improvements were noted for vomiting (88 percent), nausea (83 percent), abdominal pain (76 percent), loss of appetite (72 percent), constipation (71 percent), flatulence (68 percent) and fat intolerance (59 percent).

 In another study of patients with dyspeptic syndrome, with symptoms including abdominal pain, heartburn, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, more than half of the patients showed significant improvement after two weeks of treatment with artichoke leaf extract.

 In another study, more than 400 patients with liver or bile duct disease were treated with artichoke leaf extract. After one week, nearly 70 percent of the patients reported improvement of such symptoms as bloating, constipation, lack of appetite, abdominal pain and nausea. By the end of the four-week trial, that number had increased to 85 percent.
