Artichoke leaf extract, made from artichokes found in grocery stores, is thought by some to offer numerous health benefits, including lowering cholesterol in the blood.1 Others contend that it can promote weight loss, treat acid reflux, prevent hangovers, or even "cleanse" the liver. The evidence supporting these claims is generally weak.
Artichoke leaf extracts are taken by mouth and mainly sold in capsule or gelcap forms. There are also concentrated liquid forms you can take with a dropper. Artichoke leaf extract is sometimes even infused into face creams for its anti-aging effects.
There are many health claims made about artichoke leaf extract, although the evidence remains lacking. With that said, there have been some promising results that require further investigation.
Here are just some of the findings published in medical research:
Anti-aging: A 2018 review published in the journal Molecule suggested that artichoke extract cream reduces inflammation and improves blood circulation in the skin and, by doing so, may help reduce sagging and roughness.2
Fatty liver disease: A 2016 study in the International Journal of Hepatology concluded that 2,700 milligrams (mg) of artichoke extract taken daily reduced liver enzymes in 30 adults with advanced non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) compared to 30 adults given a placebo (sham drug).3
High blood pressure: A 2021 review of studies in Complementary Therapies in Medicine concluded that, based on evidence from eight human trials, artichoke leaf extract may help lower blood pressure minimally (average of 2 to 3 mmHg) in people with hypertension (high blood pressure).4
Kidney disease: A 2016 study in the Pakistan Journal of Pharmacological Science reported that artichoke extract delivered by injection normalized kidney function in rats with drug-induced kidney disease.5 These same effects have yet to be demonstrated in humans.
Weight loss: A 2018 study published in the journal Nutrients reported that artichoke leaf extract reversed the symptoms of metabolic syndrome, including waist circumference and high blood sugar, in obese rats bed a high-fat diet.6 The same has yet to be shown in humans.
