Milk Thistle, Artichoke & Dandelion: Three Plants with a Long History

Milk thistle, artichoke, and dandelion are among the best-known plants in European herbalism. All three have been valued for centuries in traditional herbal medicine and are the subject of numerous scientific studies. Our Milk Thistle-Artichoke-Dandelion Complex combines all three as highly concentrated dry extracts in one vegan capsule.

Milk Thistle (Silybum marianum)

Milk thistle is one of Europe's best-researched medicinal plants. Its characteristic complex of active ingredients is called silymarin – a group of flavonolignan compounds found mainly in the plant's seeds. Our extract is standardized to a high silymarin content to ensure consistent quality.

Milk thistle has been valued in European herbal tradition since antiquity and is now one of the best-selling medicinal plants worldwide.

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus)

Artichoke is not only a popular vegetable but also a traditionally valued medicinal plant. The leaves, in particular, contain bitter compounds such as cynarin, as well as chlorogenic acid and flavonoids. Artichoke extract has been used in European herbal tradition for centuries.

Our artichoke leaf dry extract (25.64% of the complex) provides a concentrated form of the plant compounds – without unnecessary fillers.

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale)

Dandelion is one of the most well-known native wild plants and has long been valued in traditional medicine. Both the root and the leaves contain bitter compounds, inulin, and various plant acids. Our complex uses dandelion root dry extract for a concentrated supply of the plant ingredients.

Why a complex of all three plants?

Combining the three plant extracts in one product allows for convenient daily intake without multiple separate products. All three extracts are available as dry extracts – this means a significantly higher concentration of plant ingredients compared to simple plant powder.
