More Info
Milk thistle grows all over the globe, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Although farmers sometimes consider it a noxious weed, it has a long history of use for liver support. Modern research confirms that milk thistle may offer significant protection for the liver. It has been shown to help protect the liver from damage from exposure to carbon tetrachloride and other pollutants, alcohol ingestion, or acetaminophen overdose. It stimulates the flow of bile and urine, aiding digestion and the excretion of toxins from the body.
Silymarin, a mixture of various flavonolignans, is the major active component of milk thistle and is typically standardized for best results. Silymarin protects hepatocytes through action on their membranes, stimulates hepatic protein synthesis, inhibits lipoxygenase, functions as an antioxidant, and supports phase II liver detoxification by preventing glutathione depletion.
