Artichoke Extract
Artichoke extract (Cynara scolymus) is the gentle bitter of the Mediterranean table: a food supplement that supports digestive and liver function. A 1:1 fluid extract from the leaves, with an honest, boldly bitter taste, prepared in a specialised laboratory in Italy and selected by the Gstrein family. A few drops in a splash of water before meals – just as it was done in homes of old.

Why choose Viworo artichoke
- Digestive and liver function. Artichoke supports digestion and the normal function of the liver.
- Regularity and lightness. Contributes to regular intestinal transit – the classic bitter before meals.
- 1:1 fluid extract. One kilo of leaves for every litre of extract: the plant stays concentrated in every drop.
- Leaves, not just the head. We work with the leaves – the part richest in bitter compounds (the well-known cynarin).

How to use artichoke extract
- Before meals. 10 drops in a little water, twice a day, ideally before lunch and dinner.
- Diluted to taste. If you find it too bitter, add the drops to half a glass of water or a lukewarm herbal tea.
- As a seasonal ritual. Many choose it as a daily habit at the change of seasons, true to the European herbal tradition.
Shake before use. Natural sediment and slight colour variations are normal in a pure plant extract.

Frequently asked questions about artichoke extract
What is artichoke extract used for?
Artichoke (Cynara scolymus) supports digestive and liver function and regular intestinal transit. It is the classic bitter taken before meals.
How do I use artichoke extract?
10 drops in a little water, twice a day, ideally before meals. You can dilute it in half a glass of water or a lukewarm herbal tea to soften the bitter taste.
What is the difference between a 1:1 fluid extract and a mother tincture?
Ours is a 1:1 fluid extract: the ratio of plant to extract is one to one, so it is more concentrated than a mother tincture (usually 1:10). In practice, a little goes a long way.
Why is it so bitter?
Because it contains the natural bitter compounds of artichoke leaves, including cynarin. It is the typical taste of the Italian amari tradition – here without added sugar.
Where does it come from?
The extract is prepared in a specialised laboratory in Italy. Viworo, a South Tyrolean family business from Lana since 1989, selects and distributes it.

How should I store it?
In a cool, dry place, away from direct light, tightly closed. The amber glass protects the contents.
