Artichokes (Cynara scolymus) are edible thistle plants native primarily to the Mediterranean region. Even in ancient times, the fleshy flower buds and tender base of the flower were valued as food. Artichokes are rich in fiber, nutrients, and antioxidants. The cynarin in their leaves is particularly valued in natural medicine.
Artichoke extracts are typically used in dietary supplement form. These extracts contain concentrated amounts of bioactive compounds such as cynarin and cynaroside.

Generally, the capsules should be taken before or during a meal to make them more digestible. However, they can also be taken on an empty stomach to enhance the effect.
