Milk Thistle

Milk thistle, a common herb native to the Mediterranean, has been widely used for its nutritional support of liver function. Fruits of the dried milk thistle flower are rich in three flavonolignins: silybin, silydianin, and silychristin. Together, these are known as silymarin, the bioflavonoid complex responsible for milk thistle’s powerful protective and regenerative activities in the liver. Milk Thistle capsules may be a useful nutritional adjunct for individuals who wish to enhance healthy hepatic function through the natural protective and regenerative properties of this herb.
