A traditional herb that supports liver function, eases temporary water bloat, and aids smooth digestion.
What it is
Dandelion Root Extract comes from the roots of the sunny yellow dandelion plant, long prized in European and Asian herbal traditions. It contains natural bitter compounds, plant antioxidants, and prebiotic fibre called inulin. Combined with Velobiotics microencapsulated probiotics, dandelion root encourages digestive secretions and helps balance fluid levels.
Also known as: Taraxacum officinale, Dandelion
Key benefits
- Encourages natural fluid balance, helping ease mild premenstrual water retention and bloating.
- Supports healthy bile flow and liver cleansing pathways, so your body filters waste efficiently.
- Nourishes friendly gut bacteria with natural prebiotic fibre for balanced digestion.
- Promotes comfortable digestion, which means less post-meal heaviness and fullness.
Amplified by probiotics
Dandelion root provides rich prebiotic fibre that feeds friendly gut bacteria like Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. As probiotics feed on this fibre, they produce nourishing compounds that keep your gut environment balanced and healthy. Probiotics also help break down dandelion's natural plant antioxidants, boosting their absorption across your gut lining.
Typical dose
250–500 mg/day (made to a consistent strength root extract)
The evidence
Evidence: moderateHuman studies confirm that dandelion extract acts as a gentle, natural fluid-balancer that increases urine output over 24 hours without washing away essential minerals like potassium. Scientific reviews highlight its rich plant nutrients that support gut and liver wellness (Clare 2009, J Altern Complement Med) (González-Castejón 2012, Nutr Rev).
