Dandelion Roots Raw Extract Powder

The root of the dandelion plant may act as a mild laxative and has been used to improve digestion. Preliminary research suggests that dandelion may help improve liver and gallbladder function.

From root to flower, dandelions are highly nutritious plants loaded with vitamins, minerals, and fiber.

Dandelion greens can be eaten cooked or raw and are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K. They also contain vitamin E, folate, and small amounts of other B vitamins (1Trusted Source).

What’s more, dandelion greens provide a substantial amount of several minerals, including iron, calcium, magnesium, and potassium (1Trusted Source).

The root of the dandelion is rich in the carbohydrate inulin, a type of soluble fiber found in plants that supports the growth and maintenance of healthy gut bacteria in your digestive tract (2Trusted Source).

Dandelion root is often dried and made into tea, but you can also eat it whole as you do other root vegetables.
