Milk Thistle
(Silybum marianum) has been used for thousands of years as a digestive
aid, but it is most well known as a superior herb for liver and gallbladder
disorders.
Milk thistle's
effectiveness for all sorts of liver disorders is being confirmed today
through laboratory studies and extensive clinical trials.
The active
ingredients in milk thistle are flavonoids comprised of silybin, silydianin
and silychristin - collectively known as silymarin. Milk Thistle Extract
is indicated for liver disease associated with alcohol abuse, chronic
hepatitis, and protects those working with toxic chemicals and other
substances harmful to the liver.
