Artichoke extract (Cynara scolymus, leaves) has an extraction ratio of 4-6:1 and is standardized to 2.5% cynarin, a phenolic acid. Dandelion root extract (Taraxacum officinale, root) has an extraction ratio of 10:1; dandelion root naturally contains, among other things, inulin.

Why standardized extracts
A standardized extract contains a fixed content of characteristic plant substances, such as 80% silymarin and 2.5% cynarin. With loose dried herb powder, that content can vary per harvest. With an extract, you know how much of each component you get per daily dose.
Use and composition
Take 2 capsules daily with a glass of water, preferably during or immediately after a meal. The capsules are made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and are therefore suitable for vegans. Read the safety advice on this page before use, especially when taking medication or in case of gallstones.
