May support healthy digestion and treat constipation

In traditional medicine, dandelion is frequently used to relieve constipation and enhance digestive function. A prior animal study discovered a substantial increase in stomach contractions and stomach emptying rates in rats given dandelion extract.

Dandelion root is also high in the prebiotic fiber inulin, which has been demonstrated to relieve constipation and stimulate food flow through the digestive tract. Furthermore, with more than 3 grams of fiber per cooked cup (105 grams), dandelion greens may help you get more fiber. Fiber promotes bowel regularity and protects against a number of digestive diseases, such as hemorrhoids and diverticulitis.
