Milk Thistle has been used by herbal specialists for over 2000 years.
It belongs to the Brassicaceae family and is among the oldest known medicinal herbs. Old-time healers have found that it stimulates bile production by the liver, promotes good digestion and helps maintain liver health.
Recent studies confirm that Milk Thistle extract protects against toxins in the liver, especially alcohol. A recent study based on the use of 420 milligrams of silymarin in patients with liver problems on subjects monitored for a period of 6 to 36 months, showed that 50% show a marked improvement in liver health.
The standardized thistle extract is extracted from the seed of the plant. Made up of compounds called silymarins, they have an antihepatotoxic (protective for the liver) action. Silymarin is composed of many flavonolignans including silybinin, silybinin, silychristine, silydianine and others. Silymarin and silybin serve as antioxidants, protecting cell membranes from oxidative destruction caused by free radicals. In addition, these ingredients preserve the membranes of red blood cells from lipid peroxidation and hemolysis (destruction of red blood cells) caused by some poisons. Many studies conducted on silymarin indicate that it not only protects liver cells from toxic substances, but also stimulates protein synthesis to accelerate the regeneration and production of liver cells. In addition, Milk Thistle can increase the effectiveness of Glutathione, a powerful antioxidant.
