About Dandelion Root

Dandelion root for me is the Rodney Dangerfield of herbs: "I get no RESPECT"  Yet, the uses of Dandelion root are interesting, to say the least. What other herb can boast about its ability to help the liver and kidneys, has been used since the seventh century, and has a chemical composition that reads like a who's who of compounds?

Benefits of Dandelion Root

  • Supports heart health
  • Benefits healthy liver function
  • Promotes normal detoxification and cleansing
  • Aids in healthy digestion
  • Botanical support for normal Cholesterol
  • Potent antioxidant
  • Rich in vitamins and minerals like Vitamin A, C, magnesium, and iron

A study found that dandelion root positively impacted the cholesterol levels of rabbits otherwise given a high (bad cholesterol) diet. A high cholesterol diet can lead to poor heart health and in this study, bad cholesterol levels were lowered and good cholesterol levels were raised with the supplementation of dandelion root. A different study found dandelion root to be beneficial to healthy liver function and helped protect the liver against alcohol damage.

Dandelion Root is a traditional medicinal herb. It is an herb that benefits liver and kidney health. It can be used for an herbal remedy, herbal tea, and other herbal products.

    As always, I am satisfied with the product. I use it by adding a large tablespoon to the vinegar I use on salads. This way, I support my liver while enjoying the flavor. I have shopped at 1st Chinese herbs for many years and have always been satisfied. Only one time was a product not quite up to the their usual high standards and I was granted an immediate refund. I don't shop anywhere else for herbs!
