Can this supplement be taken with a sensitive stomach or gallbladder problems?

Artichoke extract has a choleretic effect, and this is exactly what makes it useful when digesting fatty food. However, the same feature calls for caution in a number of conditions.

With a sensitive digestive tract, it is worth consulting a specialist before starting and not exceeding one ampoule a day. The choleretic effect can increase discomfort or cause cramps in people with irritable bowel or gastritis.

With diseases of the biliary tract (gallstone disease, cholecystitis, dyskinesia), any choleretic products, including herbal ones, are used only after consulting a doctor. Increasing the outflow of bile when stones are present can trigger an attack.

With a tendency to allergic reactions to herbs (especially from the daisy family: chamomile, dandelion, chrysanthemum), artichoke can cause a cross-reaction. If you have such sensitivity, start taking it with particular care.

During pregnancy and breastfeeding, and when taking any medicines, prior consultation with a specialist is mandatory.
