Native to the Mediterranean, southern Russia, Asia and northern Africa, milk thistle, a spiny but edible plant, has been used for centuries for various liver-related ills and for improving digestion, but it wasn’t until the 1960’s that scientists finally identified the active ingredients responsible for Milk Thistle’s healing properties and named them ‘silymarin’.
Silymarin protects the liver from toxin or disease-related damage by stimulating the regenerative ability of the liver to replenish and strengthen liver cells. It can even improve digestion by stimulating the gall bladder. As a powerful antioxidant, silymarin may also prevent highly reactive oxygen molecules called free radicals from damaging cells throughout the body, especially in the liver where it may reduce damage to liver cells caused by overuse of certain prescription drugs.
