Description
Milk Thistle Extract has been used for 2,000 years as an herbal remedy to promote and support liver, kidney and gall bladder function.
Several scientific studies suggest that substances in milk thistle (especially a flavonoid called silymarin) helps the body’s ability to protect the liver from toxins, including certain drugs such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), which can cause liver damage in high doses.
Silymarin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and it may support the body’s ability to repair the liver and grow new cells.
The active ingredient — the one that supports the liver — in milk thistle is known as silymarin, a chemical extracted from the seeds. Silymarin is actually a group of flavonoids (silibinin, silidianin, and silicristin), which are thought to help repair liver cells damaged by alcohol and other toxic substances.
Silymarin also helps the body protect new liver cells from being destroyed by these same toxins.
Milk Thistle also helps the body manage inflammation and is an antioxidant.
