Overview
We’ve set the absolute advantage
Since Roman times, artichoke leaves (Cynara cardunculus L. leaves) have been used in Europe as a traditional medicine with both choleretic and diuretic properties1.
A growing body of scientific evidence has then emerged and artichoke leaf extracts are nowadays sometimes used as a remedy for indigestion.2
Bilear®, Cynara cardunculus L. leaves extract, is a triple standardized dry extract with a specific phytochemical profile, whose efficacy is supported and proven by pharmacological and human studies.
Bilear® into action
Artichoke leaf extracts exert effects on lipid metabolism as well as liver and gastrointestinal tract function1. They regulate bile production and flow from the liver to intestine.3
Recent studies provide evidence for artichoke leaf extracts effectiveness in conditions such as dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome.2,4
Bilear® works beneficially thanks to its specific formulation profile: a defined concentration of flavonoids, caffeoylquinic acid and chlorogenic acid.
