What is milk thistle extract ?
Milk thistle is a unique herb which contains a natural compound called silymarin. Silymarin nourishes the liver like no other nutrient currently known. The liver acts as the body's filter constantly cleansing to protect you from toxins. Over time, these toxins can accumulate in the liver. Milk thistle's potent antioxidant properties and rejuvenating actions help keep the liver strong & healthy.
Milk thistle is also known by the names our lady's thistle, marian thistle, and wild artichoke. This plant is called milk thistle because the leaves of the plant have white veins that look as if milk was spilled upon them - according to legend, the milk of the virgin mary. Dioscorides wrote that milk thistle seeds could be used to treat snake bites. This plant is native to the mediterranean and grows wild throughout europe, north america and australia. Milk thistle has been used in europe as a remedy for liver problems for thousands of years. The seeds were consumed by european wet nurses to insure a healthy milk supply. The heads of this thistle formerly were eaten, boiled, treated like those of the artichoke.

Milk thistle is commonly found growing wild in a variety of settings, including roadsides. The Latin name is Silybum marianum. The seeds of the dried flower are used. The active ingredient in the plant is a flavonoid called silymarin, an antioxidant said to protect liver cells from toxins. Silymarin apparently promotes liver cell protein synthesis and decreases the oxidation of glutathione. The plant's flowers and seeds have been used for more than 2,000 years to treat disorders of the liver and gallbladder.
