Chophytol® (Artichoke)

What is Chophytol® (Artichoke)?

Chophytol® is a natural, plant-based medicine derived from the standardized extract of artichoke leaves (Cynara scolymus).

It is known for its multiple health benefits, particularly for supporting liver and digestive health.

Artichoke has been used for centuries in traditional medicine, and its extract is rich in bioactive compounds that promote bile production, protect the liver, and enhance kidney function.

The primary components of Chophytol®, including cynarin and cynaropicrin, provide powerful therapeutic effects.

Cynarin is widely recognized for its ability to improve bile flow, act as a natural diuretic, and lower cholesterol levels.

Cynaropicrin, another key compound, has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and even antiviral properties, helping to protect the body from a range of metabolic and digestive disorders.

Chophytol® is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions affecting the liver, gallbladder, and kidneys.

It can help alleviate symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, and feelings of heaviness after meals, while also supporting detoxification processes.

Due to its natural origin and standardized formulation, Chophytol® ensures consistent effectiveness and quality, making it a popular choice for those seeking natural remedies to enhance overall liver and digestive health.

This product is suitable for adults and children over 12 years old and can be taken to manage chronic conditions such as liver disease, gallbladder dysfunction, and mild kidney issues, making it an ideal solution for promoting long-term organ health.

What are the benefits of Chophytol®?

Chophytol® contains over 20 bioactive compounds, with two of the most important being cynarin and cynaropicrin.

These compounds provide several health benefits:

• Cynarin: Offers liver protection, promotes bile production, acts as a diuretic, and helps reduce cholesterol levels.
• Cynaropicrin: Stimulates bile flow, relaxes intestinal muscles, reduces triglycerides, and has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antiviral properties (effective against hepatitis C).

Together, these components make Chophytol® an effective natural remedy for enhancing liver function, improving bile secretion, and supporting kidney health.

How does Chophytol® help with liver and kidney health?

Chophytol® is often used for conditions affecting the liver, bile ducts, and kidneys, including:

• Chronic cholecystitis (inflammation of the gallbladder)
• Biliary dyskinesia (impaired bile flow)
• Liver cirrhosis
• Chronic nephritis (kidney inflammation)
• Chronic renal insufficiency

The artichoke extract in Chophytol® helps promote bile production and improve its flow, which is crucial for digestion and detoxification.

It also supports kidney function by increasing urine production, aiding in the removal of toxins from the body.
