Source Naturals Artichoke Extract180 Tablets (500mg) 124847

I took these pills and it helped me with my digestion problems, I haven't had them since I'm taking these. I will for sure order more

This supplement has worked well for me. I have changed my diet so I was able to get off of a statin drug. I have been taking this artichoke supplement to maintain cholesterol levels along with my diet and exercise. I do work closely with my primary Dr and get regular bloodwork. Be sure and read the cautions/side effects. This can make your tummy rumble as well. If you have ever eaten artichokes, you know what I mean.

I began taking this product + Bergamot + Olive Leaf Extract and at my 6-months follow-up to my Annual Physical, my LDL had dropped 30 points. I told my doctor what I had been taking and he didn't believe me. Read the label on this product, it explains how artichoke actually suppresses the enzyme produced by the liver that oxidizes HDL to LDL. Be careful if you have been diagnosed with Gall Stones because artichoke increases bile production by the liver. This increased flow could move the stones around in the Gall Bladder causing intense pain. If you do not have gall stones, this extra flow of bile should prevent the formation of Gall Stones which are a result of over-concentration of bile stored in the Gall Bladder. This could explain why artichoke is often the vegetable of choice of top chefs with certain fried or greasy foods.

I have tried many natural alternatives to control my cholesterol. Heard about this one while sitting at my doctors office on Health Accent. This product has proven to be the best for me and without side effects. Though my total cholesterol is still slightly elevated, all the other levels are great. I will continue to use this product as I have, which is 2 tablets twice daily with or after a meal. Please keep in mind that a healthy diet is also a must and of course adding exercise is even better. Thank you.

I bought this for my son because I read it was good for IBS, this is the second brand I bought. I didn't realize all the other added ingredients or I would not have bought it. This product may work for other people but it did not work for us.
