What is Dandelion Root?

Most of us are familiar with this herb as a weed in the garden, but its use in recorded traditional medicine dates back to the 7th century. Both the leaf and the root are used, although their properties are quite different from each other.

Dandelion root properties include:

• Liver support
• Digestion (appetite, bile secretion, gas, indigestion)
• Cardiovascular support (supporting the liver is important in heart disease)
• Blood sugar maintenance
• Immune support

Healthy liver: Supporting your pets liver can go a long way in contributing to a long and healthy life, even if your pet is not showing signs of liver problems.

The liver performs dozens of different functions in the body, yet liver disease (including cirrhosis) is one of the most common health problems in older pets. It can damage all functions of the pets liver, with very harmful health effects.

Even pets without liver disease may need support to metabolize and excrete prescription medications and environmental chemicals which are often damaging to the liver.
Pets tend to come into contact with more harmful chemicals and pesticide residues than humans.

Good digestion: Dandelion root has been used extensively as a cholagogue, meaning that it helps support normal bile flow during digestion. This helps the breakdown and assimilation of foods. Dandelion root supports the production of liver enzymes that metabolize toxins in the body so they can be excreted. It also supports the gut by providing inulin. Inulin is a prebiotic that helps maintain healthy gut flora, essential for good digestion and the immune system. Dandelion root is one of the world's best digestive "tonics."

Healthy heart: Some of the chemical constituents of Dandelion root help maintain normal blood pressure and good circulation. It is also high in several minerals that contribute to a good electrolyte balance. A well-functioning liver is important for pets with heart disease.

Blood sugar: Dandelion root has also been studied for its ability to support normal, healthy insulin levels. The addition of Dandelion root to your Pets health regime is a great way to help maintain stable blood sugar levels.
