1/5 Evidence Score

AuroraGreen® is a whole-herb wild Alaska dandelion (Taraxacum) blend from Denali BioTechnologies, hand-harvested in the flowering phase and dried with a low-temperature Refractance Window process. Dandelion has a long history of traditional use for digestion and liver complaints. No clinical trial of this ingredient has been published. The two studies cited on this page are review articles about the dandelion genus in general, summarizing mostly laboratory and animal work, not tests of this branded ingredient in people.

Studied Dose No studied dose has been established. Because no human trial of this ingredient has been published, any amount used is set by the manufacturer rather than by research.
Active Compound Whole wild Alaska dandelion (Taraxacum) herb, rich in polyphenols and bitter compounds.

Benefits

Antioxidant activity in laboratory work

Dandelion contains polyphenols that show antioxidant activity in laboratory tests. This comes from a 2024 review of the Taraxacum genus, not from any study in people, and no trial has measured whether this ingredient changes antioxidant status or oxidative stress in humans.

Traditional use for digestion, and preclinical liver research

Dandelion has been used traditionally as a bitter tonic for digestion and bile flow. A 2025 review of dandelion and liver health described protective effects seen mainly in laboratory and animal experiments, with human data still emerging. No trial has tested this ingredient for liver or digestive outcomes in people, and it is not a treatment for any liver condition.

No clinical trials have been published

Both references on this page are review articles about the dandelion genus. There are no published clinical trials of this Alaska-grown ingredient, and no human trial is cited anywhere on this page. Everything above is traditional use plus laboratory and animal findings summarized by reviewers.

Mechanism of action

1

Polyphenol antioxidants

Dandelion polyphenols, including chicoric acid, scavenge free radicals in test-tube experiments. This is a proposed mechanism only. Whether it produces any measurable change in the body's antioxidant defenses has not been tested for this ingredient.

2

Bitter-compound digestive support

Dandelion's bitter compounds are traditionally believed to stimulate bile flow and aid digestion. This is a traditional rationale rather than something measured in a clinical trial of this ingredient.

Clinical trials

Side effects and drug interactions

Common Potential side effects

Dandelion is generally well tolerated in food, tea and traditional amounts, but the safety of this concentrated branded ingredient has not been formally studied.
Dandelion belongs to the Asteraceae (ragweed and daisy) family, so people allergic to ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds or daisies may react to it.
Mild digestive upset is occasionally reported. Dandelion has a traditional diuretic (water-losing) effect, so you may urinate more often.

Important Drug interactions

Diuretics — dandelion has a mild diuretic effect; consult a doctor.
Lithium — diuretic herbs can affect lithium levels; consult a doctor.
Tell your doctor if you have gallbladder disease.
