The Solgar Dandelion is a dietary supplement in phytocapsules, with 328mg of raw dandelion root (Taraxacum officinale) powder and 52mg of dandelion root extract in a 4:1 ratio per phytocapsule. The package contains 100 phytocapsules.
It is aimed at adults who want to include dandelion in their routine with a consistent, declared amount instead of infusion or tincture, for people who follow a vegan or vegetarian diet, and for those looking for a large package for continuous use.
Dandelion, also known as dandelion or wild radish, is Taraxacum officinale, a ubiquitous plant of the Asteraceae family. In traditional European use, both the leaves and the root are utilized, with the root concentrating a different profile of compounds compared to the above-ground part. It contains inulin, a soluble carbohydrate stored by the plant, as well as bitter compounds of sesquiterpene lactones, which are responsible for its characteristic taste.
The product combines two forms of the same root and this is not accidental. The raw powder retains the entire plant material, with the plant fibers and the full range of compounds in their natural proportions. The 4:1 extract means that four parts of raw material are concentrated into one part of final product, giving a denser yield of soluble components. The combination of the two, the philosophy of the phytocomplex, provides both the range of the whole herb and the concentration of the extract within the same capsule.
According to the product presentation by Solgar, dandelion root is described as a source of natural nutrients and antioxidants, and the packaging is positioned as follows:
The above statements are attributed to the producer. Dandelion is a botanical ingredient, its claims are under evaluation by the EFSA and there is no approved health claim at this time, therefore in our own description we do not adopt an outcome claim.**
This is a mono-herbal formulation, without vitamins or minerals in the composition. Its value is therefore judged by the part of the plant, the two forms it combines, and the purity of the excipients.
Only the root is used, not the leaf, which matters because the two parts have different compositions. The 4:1 extract ratio is stated explicitly, so you know what you are buying, unlike formulations that only mention 'extract' without specifying the concentration. The list of excipients is one of the shortest you will see, only the shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and vegetable stearate as an anti-caking agent. Solgar states that the product contains no sugar, salt, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten, or dairy, nor preservatives, artificial fragrances or colors, and carries Vegan, Vegetarian, Gluten Free, Kosher labels.
It suits adults who already know dandelion from infusions or cooking and want a more standardized form with a consistent amount. It is also of interest to those following a vegan or vegetarian diet and looking for plant capsules without gelatin, as well as people avoiding gluten, soy or lactose and carefully checking formulations. It also suits those who prefer mono-herbal formulations rather than complex blends of herbs, so they know exactly what they are taking.
The product is a dietary supplement and does not replace a medical diagnosis, monitoring or treatment. Conditions of the liver, bile ducts or gallbladder, such as gallstones, always require diagnosis and treatment by a doctor. Individuals with known obstruction of the bile ducts or allergy to plants of the Asteraceae family, such as ragweed, chamomile and artichoke, should consult a doctor before taking it.

It means that four parts of root were concentrated into one part of extract, so the 52mg corresponds to a greater amount of original raw material.
To combine the range of the whole herb with the concentration of the extract within the same capsule.
Only the root. The two parts of the plant have different compositions, which is why it is stated explicitly.
From about 33 to 100 days, depending on whether you take three or one phytocapsule per day.
No. It is a dietary supplement. Such conditions require diagnosis and treatment by a doctor.
There is no approved claim for this and no such property is attributed to the product.
Caution is needed. Dandelion belongs to the same plant family as chamomile and ragweed, so consult a doctor first.
