It is affordable and safe enough to be used during pregnancy (of course not for detoxing but only for its iron) - the secret is out, dandelion is here. The plethora of vitamins and minerals in dandelion make it comparable to any multivitamin and mineral supplement which is used to keep the whole body healthy.

It contains several essential vitamins and nutrients like vitamins A, C and K, Choline, B-complex, iron, silicon, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, phosphorus and copper. Normally health-conscious eaters make salads with the leaves.

Dandelion works to detox the liver and thereby fixes all hormonal imbalance. This is due to the hormone metabolizing capacity of the liver. Once your liver is in good health, you can cope with menopausal symptoms, PMS and irregularity of menstrual cycles.

Dandelion is known for its strong diuretic action and this causes loss of weight. It doesn't necessarily deal with the underlying cause of weight gain in this case, but it helps and does it without depleting your body of vital potassium.

If the cause behind weight gain is indigestion, then dandelion can be used. With the improvement of bile production by the gall bladder, it also helps in regularizing bowel movement. If you are thinking of using it for this, take it for a few months to perk up your gall bladder and liver but the intake ought to be brought down.

The expected action from this weed include activation of several natural actions and secretions of the digestive system like it does with indigestion. You need not put in any effort but it restores and re-strengthens your digestive organs. Dandelion is especially recommended for people who face problems in digesting fat, as their bile production is not up to the mark.

Do not use dandelion to detox if you are allergic to it nor if you have gallbladder inflammation, intestinal blockage, or bile duct obstruction. The recommended adult dosage is 250 to 500 mg thrice a day with food or meals. Take the advice of a doctor before you start with a new supplement. Nature offers several excellent options for us to remain healthy.
