According to some older studies, artichoke extract may also provide relief from symptoms of indigestion, such as bloating, nausea, and heartburn.

One small study found that taking a supplement that contained ginger and artichoke before meals improved the movement of food through the digestive tract, which could potentially help ease indigestion.

However, because the supplement also contained ginger, it’s unclear how much of these results can be attributed to artichoke alone.
