Comment: "I had actually dug it up myself but thanks for the confirmation and further references. It means that the artichoke is useful in encouraging the secretion of bile. Is this the equivalent of protecting the liver? I cannot say, but thanks for all your help.

hepatoprotective properties
I think 'proprietà calaloghe' is best translated as 'hepatoprotective properties'. 'Calalogo' basically means 'liver-protecting'. The first website below is for an artichoke supplement, which is described as 'hepatoprotective', as it protects liver functioning. The other website is a medical abstract, which mentions the same benefits of artichoke.

hepatoprotective properties
I wrote 'calalogo' in my explanation, but I meant 'calagogo' - sorry for any confusion.
