What is Dandelion Root Extract?

Dandelion Root Extract is a Botanical supplement available in 1 form.

FormulaForge carries a single form of Dandelion Root Extract, so there is no form to choose here. Forms on the market do differ in how well they absorb, which is why it is worth checking the form named on any product label.

The Form of Dandelion Root Extract We Carry

Dandelion Root Extract Preferred (Preferred Form) has a bioavailability rating of good absorption.

What the Research Shows

Dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) extract provides sesquiterpene lactones and inulin fiber that support liver and digestive function. Traditional use for hepatic support is backed by modern research demonstrating choleretic (bile-stimulating) and mild diuretic effects. The root extract concentrates the bitter compounds responsible for digestive stimulation.

How to Choose the Right Form
