Herb Pharm Artichoke extract works with the body's natural mechanisms to support healthy function of the cardiovascular and circulatory systems*. This extract is expertly crafted from hand-harvested, shade dried leaf of Cynara scolymus plants that are grown on Herb Pharm's own Certified Organic farm. It is easily dosed and taken in liquid form and may be added to water or other liquid for taste or taken directly in the mouth. Herb Pharm favors liquid extracts because they are easily absorbed into the bloodstream and the body's physical response often begins with smell and taste. Artichoke extract is rich and sultry like the vegetable. It is meant to be tasted to engage the body's pre-digestive responses and users are encouraged to embrace the taste. Artichoke is extracted in organic cane alcohol to deliver phytochemicals in their natural balance as they exist in the plant (“full spectrum”). Herb Pharm never uses synthetic solvents. The company's farm is Certified Organic, Bee Friendly, and Salmon Safe. Herb Pharm is the #1 selling liquid herbal extract brand in US Natural Food (SPINS). Herb Pharm's promise is to make plant products in their most undistorted and efficacious forms while being an advocate for community and environmental values. Herb Pharm is a company of herbalists, scientists, and farmers in GMO-free Josephine County, OR. It's where they have been cultivating herbs with care, precision, and respect for nature since 1979.
