Benefits
Hercampuri contains bitter compounds known as eritaurins and glucosides, which make the plant a cholagogue (facilitates the secretion of bile), choleretic (secretion and excretion of bile), hypocholesterolemic (reduces cholesterol) and diuretic (increases the secretion of urine). It is known and valued for its properties as a hepatoprotector and cholesterol reducer, and for diabetes control. Hercampuri is also recommended as a detoxifier, burning body fat by regulating the metabolism, reducing excess body fat without risk of anorexia, and reducing the risks of cardiovascular problems.
