What is dandelion?

Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) is a perennial plant of the daisy family that grows throughout the temperate zones of the Northern Hemisphere and is one of the best-known spring flowers. Underground, the plant has a long, thick taproot, which has been used as food in many countries, for example roasted to make a coffee substitute. This product uses the dried and ground root.

According to the manufacturer, dandelion root naturally contains a variety of compounds, such as inulin, sesquiterpenes, phenolic compounds such as flavonoids, as well as minerals and phytosterols. No nutrient reference value has been established for dandelion root, which is why the %NRV column of the table shows two asterisks.

How to use?

Take 2 capsules daily as needed with a glass of water. You can take the capsules at once or split them between two meals. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. If you also use other food supplements or herbal teas containing dandelion, take their amounts into account. One bottle contains 50 daily doses. After opening, keep the bottle in a cool, dry place and close the lid tightly after use.
