FUSION: F-ARTICHOKE

Artichoke, also known as Cynara scolymus, has been used in traditional medicine for centuries as a specific remedy for liver and gallbladder ailments. Artichoke is known to mobilize fatty stores in the liver and aid in its detoxification, making it a natural aid for lowering cholesterol levels.

Cynarin, a compound found in artichoke, has demonstrated properties against oxidative stress induced by inflammatory mediators. In addition, it helps in controlling lipolysis by favoring the synthesis of energy-transporting enzymes such as NAD-NADH2 and NADP-NADPH2. It also acts as a diuretic and vasoconstrictor, stimulating the lymphatic drainage system. Artichoke mobilizes fat stores from tissues such as white adipose tissue, and these fats are subsequently excreted from the body through the bloodstream.

Artichoke is commonly used in mesotherapy for its lipolytic and diuretic properties. It can help mobilize and eliminate fat deposits, especially in areas like the thighs, hips, and abdomen. Artichoke extract is also believed
to stimulate lymphatic drainage, improve circulation, and detoxify the liver. These properties make it a popular ingredient in mesotherapy cocktails designed to target cellulite, localized fat deposits, and fluid retention. Additionally, artichoke extract is sometimes combined with other ingredients like caffeine and L-carnitine to enhance its lipolytic effects.
