Taraxacin

Why You Need It

• Liver Detox Support: It stimulates bile production, helping your liver process fats and waste more efficiently.
• Natural Water Balance: It encourages kidney function to flush excess sodium and water, reducing bloating naturally.
• Digestive Aid: By increasing bile, it helps break down food and alleviate indigestion.
• Gentle Cleansing: Unlike harsh detoxes, it cleanses without depleting your potassium levels.

Deep Dive

Taraxacin works by mildly irritating the lining of the stomach and intestines, which triggers a chain reaction. This stimulation signals the liver to produce more bile and the kidneys to filter more blood. Bile is essential for digesting fats, while the kidney action helps regulate your body's fluid levels. The most distinct benefit of Taraxacin is its classification as a 'potassium-sparing diuretic.' Most diuretics flush out water and essential electrolytes like potassium, leading to fatigue. Taraxacin, however, helps you shed water weight while the high potassium content in the dandelion leaves replenishes your system.

Natural Food Sources

Since Taraxacin is concentrated in the Dandelion plant, the best way to get it is by consuming the plant itself.

*Note: There is no official RDI for Taraxacin as it is a phytochemical, not an essential vitamin.

Supplementation

If you cannot source fresh organic dandelions (free from pesticides), you can find Taraxacin in standardized Dandelion Root Extract capsules or tinctures.

• Dosage: Standardized extracts typically range from 300mg to 500mg, taken 1-2 times daily.
• Who should take it: Ideal for those experiencing mild water retention, bloating after fatty meals, or looking for a gentle liver cleanse.
