Research & References
Research & References
Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) has been studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and liver-supportive properties.
Research has identified compounds such as flavonoids, phenolic acids, and terpenes that may contribute to hepatoprotective (liver-supporting) effects, metabolic balance, and cellular protection.
Some studies, including animal research, suggest dandelion root extract may help protect the liver from toxin-induced damage and support detoxification pathways.
Much of the research is still emerging, and many studies are preclinical. As with many botanicals, its effects are often gentle and cumulative.
