Dandelion root is especially high in antioxidants, such as beta-carotene, polyphenols, coumarins and hydroxycinnamic acid derivatives - which may account for its many potent health benefits since this allows it to fight free radicals.
Free radicals are compounds that form in your body as a result of things like stress, pollution and a poor diet. Over time, the accumulation of free radicals can lead to cell damage and chronic disease.
Antioxidants can help neutralize these harmful compounds and have been shown to reduce the risk of conditions like heart disease and cancer.
Dandelion is a well-known wee d, but it's also a source of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and beneficial biochemicals. It's used in supplements to manage diabetes, reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure, decrease inflammation associated with arthritis, and help nursing women by boosting breast milk production.
Dandelion root benefits your liver, helping protect it from oxidative stress and keeping it working effectively. In fact, folk medicines originating from China, India and Russia have long recognized dandelion's effect as a liver tonic, mostly due to its anti-inflammatory effects and ability to fight oxidative stress.
