Dandelion is a well-known and treasured botanical with a long history of use in traditional herbal practices worldwide. Although dandelion is produced commercially, it grows practically everywhere around the world. While the widely recognized plant is tenacious and thrives in a variety of climates, it will produce more substantial roots in moist, rich, deep soils. The fresh dandelion root used in our extract is organically cultivated in the United States.

Dandelion has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Ayurveda, traditional Arabian medicine from the tenth century, and other folk healing modalities. Historically, the plant was utilized as a restorative tonic, edible food, and in herbal beers and wines. In the United States, various indigenous cultures considered dandelion to be a prized edible and employed the root for healthy GI functioning, as an alterative, and in topical applications. According to TCM, dandelion is considered to be energetically sweet, drying, and cooling and was often called upon to clear heat from the liver. It was also used in TCM for its beneficial effect on the stomach and lungs as well as uplifting the mood. Dandelion was traditionally used in many systems of medicine to support digestive and gastrointestinal health.
Product Function & Benefits
1. Prevents UTI
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) often co-occur with water retention. Since dandelion roots act as a natural diuretic, you can both prevent and treat UTIs. A study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine even confirmed the diuretic effects of dandelion.
2. Improves Liver Health
A preliminary study published in Food and Chemical Toxicology found that the extract of dandelion root protected the liver against oxidative stress caused by alcohol. The study was conducted because dandelion has traditionally been used as a liver detox herb among other things.
3. Reduces Water Weight
If you are prone to water retention, then sipping on some dandelion root tea can help. Dandelion is traditionally used as a diuretic in folk medicine, and the root part of the plant seems to be especially efficient in helping rid excess water weight.
4. Provides Important Nutrients
Including all parts of the plant into your daily diet will provide you with plenty of vitamin B6, vitamin K, vitamin A, calcium, and iron. Dandelion is also a rich source of vitamin D, dietary fiber, and riboflavin.
5. Prevents Certain Cancers
A study published in a 2011 issue of Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found that certain antioxidants found in dandelion root extract prevented drug-resistant melanoma cells from proliferating.
6. It Can Wean You Off Of Coffee
If you are a coffee addict, then you can make coffee from a special preparation of the dandelion root. This popular coffee substitute is made by roasting young dandelion roots. You can either make your own or purchase at a health food store.
7. Promotes Weight Loss
One Korean study found that dandelion could possibly inhibit a process called pancreatic lipase. This, in turn, can lead to greater weight loss. Pancreatic lipase is when the pancreas releases an enzyme during digestion that helps break down fat.
8. Better Digestion
Dandelion root tea was also traditionally used to help with digestive disorders. It can help with a poor appetite, chronic constipation, and minor stomach upset. However, there are no studies yet to prove if this is true.
9. Can Help With Leukemia
Leukemia is a dangerous type of blood cancer that is often difficult to treat. A promising study published in the journal Blood mentions three cases where elderly patients completely recovered from leukemia just by drinking dandelion root tea.
10. Appetite Control
Dandelion roots are a rich source of a special dietary fiber called insulin which can help make you feel fuller for longer. However, you’d get this benefit only if you drank dandelion root coffee substitute or when taking dandelion root as an extract.
Dandelion root is generally considered safe and well tolerated in adults if consumed in moderation. Some people may experience side effects, including heartburn, diarrhea, upset stomach, and irritated skin.
