ARTICHOKE FLOWER BUD – CYNAMED®

Cynamed® is a proprietary extract from the artichoke bud (Cynara scolymus L.) produced by Euromed. It is standardized for caffeoylquinic acids, a key group of phenolic antioxidants, and inulin, a naturally occurring soluble dietary fiber found in artichoke buds.

These bioactive compounds contribute to Cynamed®’s ability to support digestive health, cardiometabolic wellness, and prebiotic activity, making it a versatile ingredient for nutraceutical and functional food formulations.

Cynamed® is produced using a gentle water-based extraction process that preserves the natural profile of the artichoke bud, including its valuable inulin content. Unlike solvent extractions, this method maintains the integrity of both caffeoylquinic acids and soluble dietary fiber, resulting in a more complete and physiologically relevant extract.

This approach ensures a pure, safe, and clean-label ingredient with excellent compatibility for digestive, cardiometabolic, and prebiotic formulations.

Cynamed® supports digestive and gut health through its content of inulin and caffeoylquinic acids. Its bifidogenic properties have been evaluated using the SHIME® gut microbiota model, showing its potential to promote beneficial bacterial growth and contribute to overall microbiome balance.

The extract also provides the well-known physiological activities associated with caffeoylquinic acids, the key bioactive compounds found in artichoke leaves and present in lower amount also in the artichoke bud. As a world leader in artichoke leaf extracts, Euromed ensures that Cynamed® delivers a scientifically grounded profile suitable for digestive, prebiotic, and cardiometabolic-focused formulations.

Yes. Cynamed® is ideal for clean-label, vegan, and natural product formulations. It is produced using a water-based extraction process with no organic solvents and contains only the naturally occurring compounds of the artichoke bud, including caffeoylquinic acids and inulin.

The artichoke buds used to produce Cynamed® are locally cultivated in Southern Spain, close to Euromed’s manufacturing plant, ensuring traceability, freshness, and consistent quality.

The extract is plant-based, solvent-free, residue-free, and fully compatible with formulations that prioritize transparency, safety, and minimal processing.

Cynamed® is suitable for a wide range of applications, including digestive health supplements, dietary supplements, functional foods, and beverages. Its combination of inulin and caffeoylquinic acids makes it a valuable ingredient for formulations targeting gut health, cardiovascular wellness, and healthy aging.

Its clean-label profile, water-based extraction, and natural composition support excellent compatibility in both consumer health and functional nutrition products.
