What is Artichoke?
Artichoke, known in Dutch as artisjok, is a plant native to the Mediterranean region. Its Latin name is Cynara scolymus. The plant's edible flower bud has been valued in cooking and traditional herbal medicine for centuries. Supplements mainly use the leaves, which are rich in natural bitter compounds.

Artichoke contains various bioactive compounds. The most characteristic is cynarin. This is a bitter compound that occurs naturally in the leaves. Artichoke also contains flavonoids, such as luteolin and apigenin, as well as phenolic acids. These compounds are also present in artichoke supplements.
