Vivasan Bitter Artichoke Liquid Extract (500ml) – Liver & Digestive Support
Vivasan Bitter Artichoke Liquid Extract (500ml) is a powerful, natural remedy harnessed from the ancient healing properties of the artichoke plant. Used for centuries by the wealthy and influential, artichoke is now recognized by modern medicine for its numerous health benefits, particularly in supporting liver and digestive health. Developed by experts in France, Switzerland, and Spain, Vivasan’s formula combines artichoke extract with peppermint and fennel for enhanced efficacy.
Artichoke’s Role in Modern Medicine:
Artichoke extract is widely used to treat and prevent digestive disorders. Its active compounds stimulate bowel function, regulate stool, and support healthy digestion—making it a valuable tool in dietetics. Beyond digestion, artichoke is also a component in many anti-diabetic medications and treatments for cellulite and gout.
The Power of the Vivasan Blend:
Vivasan’s unique formula combines the power of bitter artichoke with peppermint and fennel extracts.
- Peppermint: Acts as a natural spasmolytic, analgesic, and choleretic agent. Its antiseptic properties make it effective in treating liver and gallbladder issues, and alleviating symptoms of food poisoning.
- Fennel: Supports kidney and liver function, relieves stomach and intestinal spasms, soothes coughs, and alleviates cold symptoms.
This synergistic blend provides powerful support for cardiovascular health, immune function, and digestive well-being.
Benefits of Vivasan Bitter Artichoke Extract:
- Stimulates bile production.
- Supports liver detoxification and fat metabolism.
- Neutralizes liver toxins.
- Helps regulate cholesterol levels.
- Enhances digestion.
- Supports anti-aging processes.
- Boosts immunity and metabolic function.
- May improve appetite in children.
Indications:
Vivasan Bitter Artichoke Extract is primarily indicated for liver support. Its key component, cynarin, is a natural antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, protecting liver cells and promoting their function. Cynarin also aids in detoxification, gently removing toxins and waste products that can hinder metabolic processes. This leads to the elimination of excess salts and fluids from the body. The extract acts as a potent hepatoprotective agent, shielding liver cells from damage, removing heavy metals, and enhancing protein digestion. It helps slow the progression of cholecystitis and relieves intestinal discomfort.
Initial Detoxification:
In the initial stages of treatment, increased elimination of toxins may cause temporary discomfort, such as liver tenderness and spasms, due to increased activity in the liver’s smaller ducts. This discomfort is usually temporary and subsides as the body detoxifies. The intensity of this effect depends on the individual’s level of accumulated toxins.
To alleviate initial discomfort, consider using Vivasan Thyme Cream applied to the right hypochondrium (area below the ribs on the right side). For liver and gallbladder conditions, start with a smaller dose and gradually increase as tolerated to minimize discomfort.
