Artichoke- Alcachofivida (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Hello
I have a question in regards Alcachofavida (artichoke liquid solution) that contains apple vinegar, fennel fluid, L-cCarnitine, L-Lisine).I want to know if this product is healthy for the body and wich will be the side effects. Somebody told me someone have had some liver problems. I am looking around online and the only thing is there is about how good it is and how to get it. I haven't really found any medical comment or warning about it. I took this product for about two weeks and I lost a lot of weight. I am not sure if I want to continue, I want to have a serious opinion first. I want to loose more weight but I don't want to damage my body and my health.

Alcachofavida was recommended to me by a doctor from Mexico, I took the ampoules as instructed by her for 60 days, I lost 19 lbs very easily since the supplements suppressed my appetite & I was better able to control my portions. She recommended I stop them for a week then start them again (that will be this Saturday). The only side effects I noticed were: 1) dry mouth (it's recommended to drink at least 1.5 liters of water a day), 2) Loss of appetite (this is great for controlling what I eat and portion control) 3) I noticed palpitations (LOTS of them!) even though I was told these would not occur and they stopped during this week when I am not taking the alcachofa (I will see if they start again on Saturday). My goal is to lose another 21 lbs and then maintain my weight. I've had palpitations for many years so I am not overly concerned but I am having myself checked out by a doctor just in case... Hope this helps...

My husband was just diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, he also just started taking high blood pressure medication. Since this is all natural, is he able to take alcachofa? My glucose levels were usually between 230-280 after meals. I am now at 89 - 113. I've been taking 500mg once a day for 5 days.

I still haven't found anyone with major problems taking it. It does not make my heart race or cause diarrhea. Those are usually the two major diet pill side effects. I know someone who has lost 60 lbs on it. Another friend had her cholesterol and triglcerides drop drastically. I am still a believer! Ican't find anything bad about it on the web.

I have bought them about 5 times but have always given them away cuz I'm afraid to take them. I've heard of so many people that have lost and are loosing weight with Alcachofa. Are you sure there is no side effect? One doctor did say that they do have side effects but did not say what type.

I know one person who had bad side effects. Her doctor told her that one of the ingredients had interacted with a medication that she was taking. I have friends whose doctors have recommended it. The only thing that I can think of that would cause liver problems is the artichoke extract because it can affect gallstones, however, that would be for a person who already had a problem. I have been taking it for over 4 months now. No problems and it has helped me maintain my 16 lb weight loss. Some people prefer the pills over the amps because it is easier to swallow a pill. I still like the amps.

Hi,
I am 37 years old and had a biloboctomy performed on my right lung 5 years ago and been very healthy since then. I have overweight and in Mexico there are some Alcachofa ampoules (artichoke) with apple vinegar, fennel fluid extract, L-carnitine and L-lisine that people is strongly recommending to lose weight.
Do you know how do they work? Could I have some serious problem regarding my right lung with only the upper lobe?
Thank you,
Monica

I have been taking it for over two months and have lost 16 pounds. Because it is not available in the US, a friend drug tested herself to make sure that there was nothing illegal in it. Tests were clean. The only people that I know that have reported problems with it, had a lot of other health concerns that might have actually been causing the problems. I looked up each ingredient and do not see anything harmful.

Hello!


The reason you aren't finding such information is because this is not a prescription drug, but a nutritional supplement.

That means that the side effect profile and long-term health effects are not studied for it.

Live problems can occur anytime that anyone uses too much of something or takes it for far too long, but it does rarely occur from nutritional supplements.

Do you have any other questions?
