Artichoke has been used medicinally since the beginning of the 20th century to improve digestion. Historically, used as a tea, Artichoke is now preferred in the form of standardized extracts for consistent, more predictable results. Research on standardized Artichoke extract has focused on the constituent, caffeoylquinic acid and its ability to increase bile production in the liver. An increase in bile production assists the body in blood fat metabolism, which assists the digestion process.

Involvement of Niacin, an essential B vitamin, in cellular energy production means that it is essential for healthy cardiovascular function, nervous system function, and immune function.** Niacin helps maintain already normal cholesterol levels.**Schiff uses Inositol Hexanicotinate for a niacin source (nicotinate is a synonym for niacin), which lets enzymes in your body slowly release niacin to avoid the flushing response. Niacin in doses over 50 mg can cause flushing - red and itchy face and neck - when ingested in a non-time release form. Niacin is available in time-release tablets, and these products have less flushing reaction. These products release niacin slowly throughout the intestinal tract, which still presents the liver with a large niacin load. Simple, time-released niacin products have been associated with elevated liver enzymes in some users. The niacin used in Schiff Flush Free Niacin is Inositol Hexanicotinate, a different kind of time-release niacin. Inositol hexanicotinate is absorbed by the body, and inside of tissues, enzymes normally present in all cells slowly release niacin from the inositol. This allows niacin from inositol hexanicotinate to avoid flushing and provide what the cells really want - niacin in the right place at the right time in the right amounts. Niacinamide, another form of Vitamin B3 commonly used in dietary supplements and found in foods, does not cause flushing at any dose, but also does not have the cardiovascular health effects that niacin has. Niacin is involved in numerous reactions inside of cells that convert food into cellular energy.** Niacin helps operate enzymes that transport and break down fats, carbohydrates, proteins and other molecules formed from food.** A normal function of niacin is to help remove fats (triglycerides) from tissues and the bloodstream.**As a dietary supplement, take one (1) tablet daily, with a meal.Primary Use: Cardiovascular health, Brain function, Skin health.Ingredients: Active Ingredients: Niacin Inositol Hexanicotinate

Artichokes are popular in all sorts of food dishes, where the heart of the plant is the part used. The other parts of this herb, such as the head, roots, and leaves, each have known nutritional benefits. Due to its diuretic activities, Artichoke works well in the treatment of kidney diseases. The Globe Artichoke, a relative of the hepatoprotective Milk Thistle, is popular for its pungent taste which is attributed to phytochemicals found in the green parts of the plants called cynaropicrin and cynarin, sesquiterpene lactones with documented medicinal actions. The phytochemicals in artichoke have been well documented and the leaves rather than the flower have been found to be higher in medicinal value. Traditional uses have included support for sluggish liver, poor digestion and atherosclerosis. The 1997 Commission E on Phytotherapy and Herbal Substances of the German Federal Institute for Drugs recommends Artichoke leaf for 'Dyspeptic problems. Average daily dosage: Drug, 6 g; equivalent preparations. Mode of Administration: Dried, cut leaves, pressed juice of fresh plant, and other galenical preparations for internal use. Action: Choleretic' Research on standardized Artichoke extract has focused on the constituent, caffeoylquinic acid, and its ability to increase bile production in the liver. An increase in bile production assists the body in blood fat metabolism, which assists the digestion process. Cynarin has been shown to increases bile production in the liver, and to increases the flow of bile from the gallbladder, as well as increasing the contractive power of the bile duct, that is, it is 'choleretic.' Choleretics typically lower cholesterol levels because they increase the excretion of cholesterol and decrease the synthesis of cholesterol in the liver. Cynara extract from artichoke leaf has been shown to lower blood cholesterol (13%) and triglyceride levels (5%) in both human and animal studies. Consistent with its choleretic effect, Artichokes also possess some diuretic activity, helping with kidney disease and protein in the urine. A recent French patent describes an artichoke extract for treating liver disease, high cholesterol levels and kidney insufficiency. Artichoke has been shown to decrease the rate of cholesterol synthesis in the liver, and other blood fats such as triglycerides are thought to be reduced through the use of artichoke. Grieve's classic 'A Modern Herbal': 'The Globe Artichoke (Cynara Scolymus, Linn.) also has a tuberous root, but it is the large flower-buds that form the edible portion of the plant, and it is from a similarity in the flavour of the tuber of the Jerusalem Artichoke to that of the fleshy base of this flower that the Jerusalem Artichoke has obtained its name'. 'The expanded flower has much resemblance to a large thistle - the corollas are of a rich blue colour.' 'It is one of the world's oldest cultivated vegetables, grown by the Greeks and the Romans in the heyday of th
