In one study of people with digestive problems, an amazing 85% noted an improvement after taking artichoke extract. This herb seems particularly helpful where people have digestive disturbances, such as nausea, flatulence, abdominal pain and bloating.

Use of artichoke extract reduced symptoms of disordered digestion during a mere 6-week treatment course. It is the leaves of the artichoke plant that contain the active compounds, the most important one being cynarin. Lamberts® Ibisene® is a high potency artichoke extract standardised upon 5% cynarin, to give a relevant level of 16mg of cynarin per tablet.
