Milk Thistle Extract for Liver SupportHelps support liver functionUsed in Herbal Medicine to help relieve digestive disturbancesSilymarin is a highly concentrated extract of milk thistle that has traditionally been used in Herbal Medicine as a hepatoprotectant to support healthy liver function and relieve digestive disturbances. This highly active plant extract protects the liver from free radical damage, supports glutathione concentration, and promotes superoxide dismutase activity. It helps maintain liver cell health through various mechanisms, including stimulating protein synthesis and promoting a healthy cytokine balance. Milk thistle extract also supports liver function by increasing the activity of phase II detoxification enzymes. Healthy liver function is also necessary for the complex process of fat metabolism. Improper digestion of fats can cause digestive disturbances, including bloating, nausea, pain, and stomach fullness. Milk thistle helps relieve dyspepsia, especially after overeating, by stimulating the production and secretion of bile acids.
