What your liver handles every day — and the nutrients that work alongside it
ARTICHOKE PLUS by Cosmoterra combines choline, artichoke bud and milk thistle seed extract with 12 vitamins, selenium and zinc — in a capsule formula made in Austria.
A heavy meal, a glass of wine, stress, medication — the liver works in the background, every day. It sorts, transforms, eliminates. You usually only notice it when digestion feels heavy or a long weekend lingers.
This formula combines two classic liver plants with micronutrients. Artichoke bud extract delivers cynarin, milk thistle seed extract delivers silymarin — both plant compounds rooted in European herbal tradition. Cistus extract with polyphenols, L-glutathione and taurine join them. Vitamins, trace elements and the micronutrient choline round out the profile.
Cosmoterra is based in Unternberg in the Lungau region — an Austrian family company with a nutritional-medicine background. The vitamins come in part from quinoa sprouts (PANMOL®). The capsule shell is plant-based, and the product is vegan and free from gluten and lactose.
Take 1 capsule twice daily with sufficient liquid.

What are cynarin and silymarin?
Cynarin is a polyphenol compound found in the buds of the artichoke plant (Cynara scolymus). Silymarin refers to a complex of flavonolignans isolated from the seeds of milk thistle (Silybum marianum). Both plant substances have been part of European herbal tradition for centuries — in ARTICHOKE PLUS they appear as standardised dry extracts that bring defined amounts of cynarin and silymarin into the formula.
Why include 12 vitamins in a liver formula?
Metabolism is not a single process but a network. The B vitamins contribute to normal energy-yielding metabolism, biotin contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism. Vitamin C and E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. The idea behind the recipe is breadth over high-dose mono — many building blocks in moderate amounts, complemented by choline and plant substances.
⚠️ Mandatory notices: Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children. Liver dysfunction of any kind should be assessed by a doctor. Concurrent use with anticoagulants (coumarin type) only after consultation with your treating physician.
📦 Storage: Store in a dry place and below room temperature.
💬 Frequently asked questions
-
How long does one pack last?+180 capsules with a daily dose of 2 capsules give you a 90-day supply — roughly three months. The pack is designed for steady, longer-term use.
-
When is the best time to take the capsules?+A split dose works well: 1 capsule with breakfast and 1 capsule with lunch or dinner, each with plenty of water. Taking the capsules with a meal usually improves tolerability.
-
Is ARTICHOKE PLUS vegan and suitable for people with allergies?+Yes, the product is vegan. The capsule shell is made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (plant-based) and the vitamins come partly from quinoa sprouts. Free from gluten and lactose.
-
What is the rationale behind combining artichoke and milk thistle?+Both plants belong to European herbal tradition and have been used in cuisine and herbal preparations for centuries.

-
What else can I do for my acid-base balance?+Zinc contributes to normal acid-base metabolism. A diet rich in vegetables and herbs supports this naturally.
