Nova Vitae Artichoke extract 4000The artichoke, scientifically known as Cynara scolymus, is a plant species that plays an important role in both nutrition and phytotherapy, with a long history of use dating back to ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. This plant consists of various varieties, including the globe artichoke, the cultivated cardoon, and the wild cardoon. The edible part of the plant consists of the fleshy leaves and the casing of the flower bud, which is known as the heart or head. These parts of the plant are rich in bioactive compounds and have been valued for centuries for their nutritional and medicinal properties.
In addition to the edible part of the artichoke, the rest of the plant is also used, including the leaves, outer bracts, and stems, which are normally discarded by the processing industry. This part of the plant represents a valuable source of food additives and nutraceuticals, which can be used for various applications.
The nutritional and phytotherapeutic properties of the artichoke are mainly attributed to polyphenolic compounds and inulin, which are present in large quantities. Artichoke Extract 4000 contains bioactive substances, including flavonoids, anthocyanins, sesquiterpenes, and triterpenes, also present, albeit in smaller amounts.
In short, the artichoke is a versatile plant with a wide range of applications, varying from nutrition to phytotherapy. Its rich history and diverse chemical composition make it a valuable addition to both the kitchen and your orthomolecular treatment.
