Fermentation enhances dandelion’s bioactive compounds, contributing to its numerous health benefits. Key phytocompounds include:

Sesquiterpene Lactones: Taraxacin, Taraxinic acid
Flavonoids: Luteolin, Quercetin, Apigenin
Phenolic Acids: Chlorogenic acid, Caffeic acid

These phytocompounds are known for their liver-supportive, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects, promoting detoxification, digestive health, and immune support. Soluble in water, they can be effectively extracted during infusion.

Fermentation enhances dandelion’s nutrient profile, increasing the bioavailability of its bioactive compounds and optimizing its detoxifying and wellness properties.
