Dandelion Taraxacum officinale Dandelion has a wide array of complex constituents and its actions depend on whether the leaf or the root is being used. Extracts from the Dandelion root contain phenolic acids, including caffeic acid, together with tannins and inulin. Other constituents include sesquiterpene lactones (including eudesmanolide and germacrolide types). Dandelion root enhances liver and gall bladder function and has traditionally been used by herbalists to treat liver disorders including jaundice (a condition caused by an excess amount of bile in the blood). Dandelion is rich in lecithin, a substance researchers believe may protect against cirrhosis of the liver.1

Dandelion acts to improve digestion and cleanse the whole system. Dandelion is used for the treatment of many skin conditions as it stimulates excretion of toxins and is a blood purifier. Taurine Taurine is an amino acid which plays a major role in the liver via the formation of bile acids and detoxification. Abnormally low levels of Taurine are common in those with chemical sensitivities and allergies.

Taurine is the major amino acid required for removal of toxic chemicals and metabolites from the body.
