Description
Milk Thistle is a dietary supplement that promotes liver health, supports anti-alcoholism activity, and promotes healthy lipid and fat levels. Milk Thistle is available in liquid form from Natura-Genics®.
How It Works
Milk thistle is native to Europe and has distinctive purple flowers and white veins. Milk thistle extract, derived from the plant, is believed to promote antioxidant, antiviral, and anti-inflammatory properties due to its high amount of silymarin.
Benefits of Milk Thistle
- Promotes liver health
- Supports detox effects
- Anti-alcoholism support
- Supports healthy lipid and fat levels
Milk thistle is traditionally known to promote liver-protecting effects. Silymarin helps to promote liver health by supporting the growth of new liver cells, promoting reduced inflammation, and protecting the liver from toxins and oxidative stress. It is regularly used as a complementary therapy to assist in the treatment of liver diseases.
Promotes Detoxification
Milk thistle supports the body's detoxification process by enhancing the liver's ability to remove toxins from the body. It supports the liver's natural detox pathways, helping to eliminate harmful substances like alcohol, heavy metals, and pollutants.
Supports Anti-Alcoholism Activity
Excessive alcohol consumption can lead to alcohol-related liver diseases such as fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, and alcohol-related cirrhosis. Milk thistle supports the battle against alcoholism by promoting liver protection from damage caused by alcohol, supporting detoxification, promoting reduced inflammation, and neutralizing harmful substances. Some studies have found that milk thistle promotes a healthy liver and may assist, to a certain extent, in the reversal of some damage caused by alcohol. While it can help support the mitigation of some of the effects of alcohol consumption, milk thistle should be a part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Promotes Healthy Lipid & Fat Levels
Some studies have found that milk thistle may have the ability to promote lower levels of lipids and fats in the body such as cholesterol. High levels of “bad” cholesterol can lead to heart health complications. The active compound in milk thistle, silybin, may promote significantly reduced total blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels according to some research.
