A: Emerging research has shown artichoke leaf extracts may have the ability to improve perceived quality of life in otherwise healthy patients who suffer from indigestion.
Additionally, research has shown reduced symptoms of irritable bowl syndrome (IBS), a disorder characterized most commonly by cramping, abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and constipation. IBS causes a great deal of discomfort and distress and is a problem reported to affect up to 20 percent of the general population.
More research is needed to determine the specific role artichoke nutrients play in maintaining good digestive health, but overall, artichokes are delicious and packed with essential minerals and vitamins. |
